Teaching Philosophy
Important skills I want to teach my students
The most important skill I want to teach my students is the passion for creating and making! I value teaching them a variety of skills with different mediums so they may find their favorite way to express themselves.
Teaching methods to reach these goals
I value exposing students to different artists, cultures, and historical time periods as a way of motivating their learning. Telling students artists’ stories and exposing them to a variety of art helps ignite their creativity!
My favorite projects
My favorite project varies from year to year. Preparing students for the art show is definitely exciting for the students. They love sharing the work they have done with parents and the community.
What I like best about teaching at Seven Hills
Seven Hills is an amazing place to work! It truly is an authentic learning environment for kids and teachers. I consider myself a life-long learner and this school encourages collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
