"Every Kid Needs a Champion" - Rita Peirson Every kid does indeed need a champion. As an educator, I feel it is my duty to be every child's champion. The moment a student steps in my classroom I have an obligation to that child to do everything in my power to provide them with the tools that will allow them to first succeed in my classroom, then in the school, and most importantly the tools that will help them succeed in the world. I believe that a willingness to look outside of the box to provide differentiated learning to accommodate all kinds of students and provide learning opportunities that have the chance to change lives will benefit every child I get the chance to teach. Fighting for every child and becoming every kid's champion is my teaching philosophy.
