My teaching philosophy as a school librarian centers on fostering a love for reading, promoting information literacy, and creating an inclusive, resource-rich environment that supports the diverse needs of all students. I believe in empowering students to become independent learners and critical thinkers by teaching them how to access, evaluate, and utilize information effectively. By curating a diverse and engaging collection of materials and integrating technology and multimedia resources, I strive to make the library a dynamic hub for exploration and learning. Encouraging collaboration, creativity, and a lifelong passion for reading, my goal is to support the academic and personal growth of every student, ensuring they have the skills and confidence to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of information and knowledge.
