I see the classroom as a space of curiosity and care. A place where students can ask questions without fear of judgment. I want learning to feel open and alive, where trying matters more than getting it right, and where attention and imagination shape the work we do. I invite students to think about what moves them, to return to the source of their ideas and creative choices. In that space, learning becomes less about mastery and more about meaning. My aim is to create a classroom where vulnerability and reflection are not risks, but conditions for genuine thought.
