Cross Categorical Special Education Teacher Email I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. By teaching students at their ability levels, I am able to see their success and progress which is what drives my teaching. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher acting as a guide as well as instructor, (2) allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all people. With these elements in place, I feel that children are ready and willing to learn!
