As an educator dedicated to the whole child, I align my practice with Creating and Maintaining Effective Environments for Student Learning. Through SEL lessons, I build a classroom community rooted in respect, empathy, and growth. I promote positive classroom management by setting clear expectations, reinforcing positive behavior, and using restorative strategies that support a safe and nurturing learning environment.

In my classroom students will be able to express themselves via emotional intelligence while developing and understanding social and emotional skills.
