My teaching philosophy combines elements of experimentalist and existentialism. I believe students should learn to work well and learn from each other in order to expand and progress the community they are from. I think that schools exist to aid students in knowing themselves and their place in society. I want them to be empowered by making choices and guide what they learn according to their interests while adhering to state and school goals and objectives. I want them to know themselves and be able to reflect on what they believe. I want them to feel empowered and change their mind whenever they see fit and as a result of critical self-reliance.
In a nutshell, I am a teacher because I want to teach children. I want them to value their community, learn the content of Literary Arts, value critical thought and approaches, and become self-motivated life-long learners, readers and writers.
