My name is Olivia Westerman. I am currently employed by Spring Branch Independent School District. I have found that our district has a common goal to see every student succeed and I am very thankful that I get to be apart of that. I am a third year teacher at Spring Forest Middle School where I teach sixth grade English Language Arts and Reading. My certifications include 8-12 ELA, 4-8 Generalist, and ESL Supplemental.
My philosophy of teaching is simple. I want every student to succeed and be successful in and out of my classroom. I strive to make sure that my students are given the proper skills and materials in order to be successful not only in my classroom, but in society as well. I follow the "Love and Logic" philosophy very well. I enjoy giving the students the choice to choose their own education and to push to be the best they can me. My favorite quote is so relevant to their lives: "Adjust and Overcome." When you are faced with a challenge, you must adjust to it and overcome that challenge in order to better yourself and set an example for the ones around you.
I am currently a resident of Houston, Texas. I was born in Louisiana and have traveled to many different places in the country where I have taught not only in Texas, but also in Nebraska. My hobbies include reading, running, exercising, being active, going to the park with my dog, spending time with friends and family, and just enjoying all that I can of life. I am a firm believe that by promoting a positive and healthy lifestyle, you are encouraging others to live the same way.
