Lauren Calleja
Summary
My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and need to be a part of a student- centred learning environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks.
