    Educational Philosophy
    I am of a firm belief that teaching is all about fostering learning, not only of
    relevant content but of our students and of ourselves. Every child deserves to
    have access to quality and focused education, one that acknowledges their
    individual nature and caters for that. It is for this reason that I am strongly
    passionate about inclusive and differentiated education and promoting positive
    and inclusive learning environments. It is my aim to use the skills, knowledge
    and experience I have gained through studies and practicum to provide students
    with the ability to learn and develop into lifelong learners and active participants
    in contemporary society.
