Teaching Philosophy
Hello! My name is Melissa Blue and I am a lucky mother and special education teacher. I believe that all students are individuals that learn in their own unique ways. It is my belief that it is most important for educators to create an inclusive learning environment that is driven by the needs of the students. As a special education teacher, it is my role to teach concpts in multiple ways and allow students to engage in lessons in ways that will facilitate learning in their unique style. I believe that by creating a positive atmosphere that allows students to feel welcomed and comfortable in their learning, students will feel empowered to grow and reach their fullest potential academically, emotionally, and socially. Finally, teachers are lifelong learners. I believe it is my duty to collaborate and learn from my students, their parents, and other educators and professionals so that I can continue to develop and refine the best teaching strategies.
