Hello, my name is Lexi Crabtree! My Teaching Philosophy has evolved over the past 3 years through using both the Montessori model and Lucy Calkin’s writing program. Both Lucy Calkin and Maria Montessori philosophies are based upon independence, freedom to make mistakes and most importantly, understanding that student’s learn best when incorporating their own personal interest. I have found that following student interests not only creates better results in literacy/numeracy skills but is also essential as a classroom management technique. In my classroom, student's enjoy learning because they are free to make mistakes and further their own learning interests.
