My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is built on the idea that inquiry and curiosity should be at the center of every lesson, every field trip and every lab.
My goal is to offer a classroom environment that fosters curious minds and builds strong relationships.
I involve my students in the learning process and ask them to become aware of their learning. I see myself as a learner as much as a teacher and I make that clear to my students. This is reflected in the following quote from a student who was in my math and science class: “Ms. Okros, Thank you for coming in and learning with us. You constructed classes well, and we all enjoyed them a lot.”
Teaching is humbling and emotional but I love it. All of it. Even the "epic failures".
I had a new friend ask me about my life. She asked if I was "working or doing something I adored?"
I said both.
