When students enter my classroom, the first thing they notice is a poster on my wall that reads, "Different people need different things." I grew up in New York City, attended the public schools, where I received a world-class education. Every teacher I had there recognized that our differences made us special, and that they could work towards equitable educational outcomes for students like me. My educational philosophy is a combination of progressivism and critical theory. I want to continue teaching because education promotes positive social change. I recognize that each child is unique and requires specialized, individualized, instruction. It is my goal to make sure that my students understand that learning is their superpower, that their differences make them perfect, and that curiosity is essential. I believe in making the classroom a safe and supportive community, ensuring that safety and trust are prioritized above all else. I do this by ensuring that routines are established early in the school year, that we set aside time in the morning for social development, and that each child feels a level of responsibility for his or her classroom. I also ensure equity by utilizing Universal Design for Learning and Understanding by Design techniques, which helps all student benefit from best teaching practices. Thus, I provide models for all students, preview and review concepts with all of my students, and set clear expectations. Paulo Freire says, "The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves." I view the classroom as the laboratory where experiences happen before they occur in the real world. This allows children to truly become the people they are meant to be. It is not because of me that my students have done well; it is because I have respected them, gotten to know them, and have let them shape me.
