Curiosity: Through the study of science, I will teach my students to view the world through the lens of curiosity. I want to encourage my students to see their classmates through a lens of curiosity instead of judgment and to question the world around them.
Vulnerability: It takes courage to put oneself out there, and the first step to progress is vulnerability. I want to celebrate my students' uniqueness by creating a classroom culture that cultivates creativity, innovation, and connections by being an open-minded, accepting, and authentic leader and role model. I want to give students a safe place to try new things and learn from their mistakes.
Growth Mindset: In my classroom, I will have a growth mindset where successes are celebrated and failures are seen as opportunities to grow. In my classroom, I will have a strict rule of no negative self talk, because the way we talk to and about ourselves affects our mindset.
