The Whole Child Approach



 My focus as a teacher is to encompass the whole child approach. I want to ensure that my lessons include all domains of the student, the physical, emotional and cognitive while engaging students in the curriculum. To do this, I need to ensure that my lessons are inclusive and incorporate physical activity and are student-centered. I want students to be infused with knowledge that will lead to becoming life long learners. In order to accomplish this, I am enthusiasticempathetic and patient. I will respect each and every one of my students for the individual that they are. I will ensure that I facilitate learning and opportunity for creativity through student-centered practices and student choice. In order for this to occur, the classroom must be a socially just place for everyone. This will also transfer to the community, as students are going to become the citizens of our society. I will always be passionate about teaching students and allow opportunities for students to teach me.
