Hi, my name is Maeve Poulin! I have my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a certificate in Early Childhood Education and I am currently completing a Teacher Librarian certificate. I live in Glasgow, Scotland and work at a nature preschool. I love to sing, dance, and travel! My next destination is Spain (Barcelona, Granada and Malaga)!

My Teaching Philosophy

As educators, I believe that our actions have such a strong impact on our students’ lives.  Especially in the elementary years, I believe that we are not only responsible for teaching them numeracy and literacy skills, but how to be kind and caring individuals.  My personal teaching philosophy reflects this. I want to establish relationships with all my students so that they feel like they are all treated equally and have someone who is interested in their lives.  By showing an interest in my students’ lives, I hope that one day they will reciprocate that with other people in their lives and become kind, curious and confident contributors to society.  I also try to foster a positive learning environment in every class I teach by modelling positivity and enthusiasm.
