My philosophy of education
is deeply rooted in the theory that all children have a great learning potential
and it is my job to surface that potential. My goal as an educator is to guide each
student to discovering new ideas and experiences as a result of multiple approaches to learning. I believe in the importance
of providing children with tools and opportunity to excel in society. As
an educator I plan to challenge my students to use their critical thinking
skills to develop new ideas and concepts to today’s growing world. This generation of children has the advantage
of being a part of rapidly growing technological society, which I hope to enhance by passing on my knowledge of technology and other
resources that I have acquired through my rich education. I also want to provide a nurturing and invigorating
classroom environment, in which I will model respectful, compassionate behavior for all of my students. I believe in the
power of confidence and hope to empower my students with it. Children spend a large amount of their day in a classroom. Our
time with them is precious and should be used to open their minds in hopes that they will become well-educated, well-rounded, happy
individuals.
