My Teaching
Philosophy

I
believe that we are all unique individuals endowed with many talents.
It
is
our goal in life to search through those talents and discover our
strengths.
The identification of these strengths will help
us
enrich our lives, and the lives of those around us.
As
an Education Professional I strive to bring out the best in my
students.
This is done by holding everyone (including
myself) to high expectations.
This strategy will help us create an active
learning environment in which we can explore our talents and
abilities.
Everyone regardless of age, culture
or background has a World
View.
This World View serves as a
compass that helps guide his or her life.
I am a Christian
and my World View reflects this as my point of reference.
Within
the learning environment we will have Mutual Respect for everyone and
his or her World View.
Knowledge
is a gift. Sometimes I am able to pass it on, but many times
the
students discover it for themselves. As an educator it is my
duty
to help them achieve this knowledge. We are then
able as
student and teacher to share in the success.
