Teaching Philosophy
- As a future teacher, I know that I am not the only person that plays a role in my students' educational experience. Therefore, I understand and appreciate the importance of the MDT.
- I grew up with parents that played a very active role in my day-to-day school life and also through my assessment process. I understand that parents have many rights during the assessment process. As a future teacher, I will try my very best to help the assessment process go as smoothly for them as possible, because I know it is a stressful and overwhelming time.
- I also know that referring a child for a suspected disability can have a huge impact on their life. I myself was suspected of having a learning disability and it completely changed my life. As a future teacher, I will do whatever I can to insure that the MDT, myself included, will follow all procedures, complete all necessary forms, and make sure that it complies with the specific time limits required by the state.
