PHILOSOPHY
“TEACH the change you wish
to see in the world” perfectly
describes my approach to
education. Teachers must
create a safe, loving
environment for children to
take chances in productive
struggle to construct their own
knowledge and to become the
next generation’s social
activists.
RECOMMENDATIONS
“As a school psychologist, I
have observed Ms. Gold
handle some of our difficult
behavioral and emotional
students. She makes
connections with them so they
want to please her. She
possesses great knowledge
and strategies to support
various student learners.”
- Beth Kolb, School
Psychologist
“Miss Gold is doing an
excellent job! She is
confident, motivational,
prepared, and interacts with
the students in a positive
manner at all times.”

Cooperating teacher
