About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Michelle Sanfilippo.  I am a graduate student working toward receiving my credential and masters in Education at the University of San Diego. I am planning to become an Elementary school teacher. I work well with others, I appreciate learning in all aspects of my job and want to be an asset to the school. I prefer being busy, and I tend to work well under pressure. I'm upbeat, enjoy work and don't let stress get in my way. I want to change the future one student at a time.


"As a teacher, first and foremost, I will see each student as an individual with hopes, dreams, strengths, and vulnerabilities. In my classroom, each student is treated as an invaluable, essential member of the class, a person capable of success, a person with something important to contribute. I work to create a classroom atmosphere in which every student sees every other student in this light – an atmosphere in which respect for each other is the guiding principle, an atmosphere in which every student feels safe enough to share their thoughts and feelings, an atmosphere in which making a mistake is seen as an opportunity to learn rather than an opportunity to feel like a failure."
