Hello to ALL,
Who is Mrs. Shepard?  I am a lifelong learner who is eager to bring the excitement of learning to a new generation.  This will be my 18th year of teaching.  This will be my first year teaching first grade, and prior to that, I taught third grade for 11 years and second grade for 5 years.  I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from ASU West, and will continue my education by attending workshops and classes that will help me improve my teaching practices. ?I am very excited to not only work with your child but help give them the tools to be successful in their journey through life.    

My Teaching Philosophy ?
My beliefs about teaching and learning are simple, yet the center of any successful educational setting.  It is my number one responsibility to assist each student in developing a positive desire to learn right from the first day of the school year. Also, I believe family support is fundamental for student progress and success. Therefore, it is my responsibility to continuously foster and encourage all family members to take an active interest in establishing a positive home and school partnership. As a team, we can accomplish great things!
    
Life in my classroom will first display respect for all developmental levels of the learner, focusing on the strengths of each individual. Second, the learning process is highly valued, and I emphasize how lifelong learning is vital and requires thoughtfulness. The teacher needs to be a facilitator and co-learner, demonstrating the necessity and importance of learning. Finally, I look forward to the opportunity to inspire all students to be passionate learners, always following their dreams and aspirations.
