4. Ms.
Chau
Teaching
philosophy
• I
believe
that
each
child
is
an
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
• Three
elements
1. the
teacher
acting
as
a
guide,
2. allowing
the
child’s
natural
curiosity
to
direct
his/her
learning
3. promoting
respect
for
all
things
and
all
people
