It is my mission as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites open communication through active listening while creating a positive working environment and developing an educational ensemble in the classroom. Each student is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, collaborative and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, and socially. I plan on structuring my education philosophy on the basis of the teacher as a guide, in and out of role, allowing the student's natural curiosity and creativity to direct their learning, and promote respect and diversity for all things and all people. I plan on structuring activities that allow for the creative spirit of play to guide our learning, working toward the final presentation of a theatre piece. My theater classroom allows for the opportunity to build an ensemble of respect, inside and outside of the daily class schedule.
