Teaching Philosophy:

Lorna's teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that all students are capable of learning and thriving when provided with a supportive, engaging, and inclusive environment. Lorna strives to create a student-centered classroom where curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration are encouraged. By making learning relevant through real-world connections and hands-on experiences, she aims to foster a lifelong love of learning. Lorna believes in differentiating instruction to meet the diverse needs of my students, ensuring that every learner feels valued and empowered. Assessment, in her view, should be a tool for growth, providing meaningful feedback that guides students toward improvement rather than mere evaluation. As an educator, Lorna is committed to continuous reflection and professional development to refine my practices and adapt to the evolving needs of her students. Ultimately, her goal is to equip students with the skills, confidence, and mindset necessary to navigate an ever-changing world.
