Main Elementary is a small school located in Kodiak, Alaska. Our population consists of over 70 % English Language Learners and low income families. My philosophy in teaching is that students need to feel comfortable safe and welcome in their environment before learning can happen. For this reason I provide students with alternative seating, numerous activities that involve partner and group work, as well as involve families members whenever possible. This philosophy has provided me with countless experiences that I value and truly believe students benefit greatly from such an environment.
