Ms. Marano’s Classroom Philosophy
-
All children are unique and have their own gift.
-
All children have the ability to learn.
-
Children learn through exploration and play.
-
Learning is a lifelong process for both the students and the teacher.
-
Children possess multiple intelligences, and therefore exhibit diverse learning styles.
-
The implementation of various teaching strategies will benefit the whole child; the physical, social-emotional, and intellectual domains of development.
-
My lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate and well planned to enhance classroom management.
-
I will respond to spontaneous teachable moments by remaining flexible.
-
Positive behavior is expected. Discipline is necessary in order to take place.
-
Fair is not always equal.
-
An atmosphere of mutual respect is established on the first day of class.
-
My safe, caring classroom environment encourages students to take academic and social risks.
-
My sense of humor will be my secret weapon.
