Welcome to Imaginative Teaching with
Stephanie Kodis-Fisher M.Ed

As a teacher with a rich background in curriculum design, visual arts, STEAM, and multilingual learning, my educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning should be a dynamic, engaging, and deeply creative process. My approach is built on the conviction that every student is capable of thinking critically, solving problems innovatively, and expressing themselves uniquely when given the right tools, encouragement, and environment.

I see my role as a guide who sparks imagination and curiosity, inspiring students to explore, experiment, and discover new ideas through hands-on experiences. In or out of a classroom, where students bring diverse talents, backgrounds, and abilities, I foster an atmosphere that celebrates these differences, offering challenges that engage both their intellectual and creative potential.

Learning should be an immersive experience where students are not only consumers of knowledge but active creators and questioners. I believe that when learning is fun and meaningful, it becomes transformative. As a teacher, my goal is to cultivate an environment where students feel empowered to take risks, collaborate with their peers, and embrace the joy of discovery. My classroom is one where imagination leads to action, where creativity fuels exploration, and where every project, experiment, and discussion is an opportunity for students to make connections, learn new skills, and grow both as learners and individuals.

In essence, my educational philosophy is about nurturing the spark within each student, providing the resources and support needed to turn that spark into a lifelong passion for learning.
