EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
It is an educator’s purpose to embrace the uniqueness of each student and to apply appropriate instruction based upon a student’s individual development, strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, and needs. A teacher should act as a guide and a facilitator to help students in discovering their talents and how they may utilize them to make the world a better place for future generations. It is the duty of the teacher to help students to develop a love for learning and a respect for their individual abilities.
A teacher should continuously seek to learn more about each of his or her students in order to maintain a successful educational relationship. In this way, a student will become motivated to learn and successfully utilize the tools that they acquired throughout their educational experience.
