Hello! My
name is Ms. Sutter and I am so excited to have your child in my class! I am
from a small town in northwest Missouri, Westboro, Missouri. I lived on a farm
growing up and had lots of animals. I graduated high school from Tarkio High
School. I then went on to attend Drury University for a short time before
transferring to Missouri State University. I graduated from Missouri State University
with my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I have always had a
passion for helping and teaching others. I got married on August 10, 2013. In
my free time, I enjoy hiking with my husband, taking pictures of things in
nature, and traveling to new places. I am a pet lover; I have many cats and dogs. My dog, Dude, is pictured below.
I want to be
a teacher to make a difference in the lives of students and to provide the
environment for students to thrive and to be able to understand and retain
information. In order to do that, the individual and the experience must be
priorities. Progressivism and pragmatism were the philosophies that matched my
beliefs the best. I decided that progressivism was the philosophy that best
suited me because the focus is on students. I thought it was important that a
main point of progressivism is learning through experiences. All aspects of this
philosophy were focused on providing the best situation for students to learn,
which made my decision clear; these aspects included the aim of education, the
teaching methods, curricular emphasis, character development, and
applicability.
