EMILY BURNS
Summary
I am an educator deeply committed to providing each student with a quality education that nurtures their individual potential and fosters a love of learning. My teaching philosophy is centred around the belief that every child has the inherent right to an inclusive, equitable, and supportive education. I am particularly passionate about integrating Aboriginal education into my teaching, alongside restorative practices and individualised learning. These values guide my approach to creating safe and respectful learning environments where students from all backgrounds feel valued and empowered to succeed.
