Philosophy of Education: I believe it’s my role as a teacher to instill in my students a love for lifelong learning. I believe in using students’ natural curiosity and wonder to examine a world that reflects our beautiful and good God. I believe that every day my students and I should seek the truth which we can find in God’s word. The goal is for my students to leave my class each day with a better understanding of who God is, how to have a relationship with Him, and how they can love others.
