Educational Philosophy I believe that every
child can learn, and I will do everything in my
power to help your children be successful
academically, socially, and emotionally. Since
education is a partnership between school and
home, I will count on you to reinforce skills
that are taught in class. Together, we can help
your children become productive citizens!
