Crystal’s Pledge to Education
I am committed to a student-centered philosophy that encourages the growth of students inside and outside of the classroom. With this philosophy, I believe that…
All students can learn
A growth-mindset is essential for creating active learners in and out of the classroom
Every student should be given the opportunity to be active participants in their learning experience
Learning environments should be culturally attuned to students’ needs and assets
Lessons and instructions should include multiple means of engagement to provide learners of all learning styles the opportunity to succeed
Collaborative work should be a focal point in lesson planning
Students should be assessed in a variety of ways, aside from traditional testing, that showcase their understanding of certain content
Educators, including myself, should be open to new educational practices, and instruction should be adaptable, never fixed
Educators, including myself, have a responsibility to provide accessible and equitable opportunities towards success for their students
