A message from Lori:
“I believe learning should be an adventure, in which students are given opportunities to inquire and explore in an environment that embraces curiosity and discovery. My role as an educator is to facilitate learning using methods that work to build confidence, embrace creativity, and instill a desire to pursue individual interests. I seek not short-term results, but long-term involvement…in which individuals come to understand and enjoy learning through an authentic, project-based approach that positively impacts each students’ intellectual, physical, social and emotional well-being. As we journey together, the process will be interactive and reciprocal…integrated, flexible, and hands-on. Individual needs should and will be met, to the best of my ability, as I strive to guide each student toward a feeling of empowerment and self-worth…learning without limits.”
