Specialty supporting PrK-3 child development: I am a student of A Philosophy of Education by Charlotte Mason. Her philosophy informs my ideas about education with the first principle that children are born persons. “We have been so long taught to regard children as products of education and environment that we fail to realize that from the first they are persons.” Vol 6 p. 238
DPS Shared Core Value: Integrity is the value that seems to be the foundation to me. However, I love that FUN is a fundamental part of the Core Values, because I believe that many things can be accomplished with a greater degree of success when there is an element of fun in the working out of daily duties. “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun…” Mary Poppins.
