Hello, My name is Chris Banks. My philosophy of teaching is: Every student can learn, it's the teacher's job to figure out how. Teachers are meant to be flexible and create a space for students to express themselves comfortably and be creative. As an elementary educator, it is my job to create an environment of safety, comfort, and creativity for my students.

...outside the classroom as it is inside. I've seen the positive effects of writing, and they inspire me to continue teaching. My approach to helping students utilize their voice begins with an understanding of the context in which they're learning: what is the class's content? What are the assignment's expectations? Where are the strengths? Where are the weaknesses? How can we leverage the strengths to compensate for the weaknesses? And, maybe most importantly, what's the...
