My name is Madi Beddingfield and I am from Asheville, NC. I am currently a sophomore at North Carolina State University and a North Carolina Teaching Fellow. I majoring in Middle-Grades Mathematics Education and minoring in Social Work. After graduating college I plan on teaching at a middle-school in the central part of the state. After I complete my teaching fellow requirements, I plan on licensing in Elementary Education and moving to an intermediate school. I would love to teach 5th and 6th grade math and science because this is my favorite age group. I believe that these students are the most creative and curious. I also believe that this age is the most fundamental in a students life and students need support. Below is my classroom environment philosophy including my believe statements and how I would handle different scenarios.
