When asked about her teaching philosophy, she responded:

The driving force of the classroom teacher is setting growth achievement goals for each and every student with the belief that they will learn and show growth. The greatest reward for is watching students engaged in the growing process, having the “ah-ha moments”, and continuing to step up and set new goals. Important to growth is a supportive classroom environment that students feel safe to stretch themselves and not be ashamed of or set on failure because they know the focus is growth.
