Vanessa’s Personal Philosophy
To have fun! I don’t want to be a grown up, adults have forgotten that learning is fun! Learning is exploring, making mud pies, walking barefoot, getting dirty and best of all asking: what if…?
A child’s imagination is our future!

The pain no one talks about...
The pain no one really prepares you for.
The pain your child doesn't see in your eyes.
The pain you have to endure because you know what's right.
The pain that's, thankfully, temporary because one day, when they're older and more mature, they eventually realize that every decision you made, every ground rule you put into place, every time you so "no," was to teach them, protect them or prepare them for the day they would face this world without you by their side. 💜 ...

Critical thinking is the core of most learning opportunities. As educators, we need to motivate students to learn and bring solutions to the table instead of regurgitating memorized information.
. .
So how do we do this❓
. .
First and foremost, relationship. The student-teacher relationship sets the foundation for all learning. The better the relationship, the more students want to answer questions, listen to others, and be involved.
. .
Sometimes even when a positive relationship exists, we still lose students' motivation. So we must
recognize what motivates a student as an individual. But, how do we decipher what motives a student? Sometimes it is just luck; other times, we need to appreciate or discover what a student truly values.
. .
As teachers, we need to set clear and consistent expectations before learning can occur; this sets the classroom up for organized learning, though mine tends to be more of organized chaos it creates safe boundaries that students will come to rely on. Once students understand, the rest falls into place, and students will generally take ownership in learning.
. .
Inspire: The best teachers are also excellent actors and storytellers; we must first inspire to engage.
. .
