Bennett Phifer

  My name is Bennett Phifer, and teaching is my passion. I previously taught for four years at a Title 1 school in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have now taught three full years at Candler Elementary. 
  I believe in a whole child approach. I think the classroom should be fun, structured and engaging for all students of varying abilities and backgrounds. I utilize a model that emphasizes collaboration, discovery and practical applications of new information. I love teaching a global mindset that embraces learning about the world around us and the many diverse cultures therein.
  My amazing wife Belinda and I moved to the Candler area in September of 2018, and have set down roots. We are joined here by our sons Robbie(4) and Aaron (1), and our dog Yogi.
