Personal Philosophy of Education
I believe we must strive, as educators, to meet the unique needs of every child. A child should be thought of as an individual and instructed in that distinct way. As educators we must do our utmost to ensure that a child’s learning style is nurtured and developed in the classroom. Every child is capable of being successful in the classroom if he or she is given the appropriate resources, accommodations and experiences.
Future Professional Goals
Upon completion of this doctoral degree, I would like to remain in the field of special education in a leadership capacity. I would welcome the opportunity to instruct pre-service teachers at the university level and develop a research agenda for culturally and linguistically diverse learners. This would allow me to be an advocate for change and influence educational policy at a national level.
