Educational+Philosophy



Societies are judged by their ability to nurture their young and to prepare them to provide for themsel ves, the next generation and even previous generations. Therefore, my philosophy of education is //to educate students so they can live full lives, adapt to change, and contribute to productive societies and to the service of others.//

Part of nurturing a child is the child's environment. I am passionate in supporting the classroom environment as intellectually and artistically alive, where students question, investigate and explore new ideas. The classroom setting and instructional methods should enable students to learn to trust their own ability to think and solve problems independently. The final product is a lively, hands-on environment that encourages independence, self-discipline and analytical thinking.

We model for our children desired behaviors and expectations. As educato rs we, too, must model good character, sound judgment, literacy, global awareness, empathy and compassion, multicultural awareness, team-building skills, problem solving techniques and analytical thinking.
