Welcome,Colleagues, students, parents, to Ms. Baker's Classroom. I am Paige Baker, a graduate of Michigan State University currently completing my teaching internship and certification in Secondary English Education with a minor in Spanish.
I believe that every student is UNIQUE. Languages, cultures, experiences; my joy in teaching is finding ways that students can bring themselves to our class in order to connect their lives, identities and experiences with learning. I believe every student deserves to learn in a RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT. When students know they are valued for who they are, they focus on learning rather than defending themselves. A loving and caring environment nurtures academic and character growth. I believe every student should be CHALLENGED TO GROW. Teenagers are capable of incredible things. As a teacher, it's part of my job to help them realize it. I believe DIVERSE classrooms are invaluable. English is about sharing experiences and expression. The greater variety of experiences and expressions, the more we learn from each other and other views of the world. |
