“A school needs to be a place for all children, not based on the idea that they are all the same, but that they are all different.” -Loris Malaguzzi
Hi! My name is Ellie Harrington and I am an aspiring elementary education teacher at Butler University. I have always had a passion for working with kids and serving others and pursuing an elementary education degree will allow me to put these passions into practice! I believe each child deserves to be known, heard, and taught. What a wonderful gift it is to shape the minds, hearts, and lives of the students that we teach. As a future educator, I firmly believe in putting my students and their needs first; if a student’s needs are not being met, they cannot learn. Therefore, at the forefront of my philosophy as an educator, I greatly emphasize creating a positive and uplifting environment. In order to do this, I must first create personal relationships with my students, getting to truly know them. I believe these relationships are vital to a transformational future in the profession of teaching. |
