EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy on education is that rigorous academic program is a priority. I want to be committed to the concept that all children can learn. I want to be able increase my students’ abilities in areas of need. I want use the data to create action plans for my students to help them succeed on school.
Also I would like to academically challenge my students to solve problems scientifically and use the data collected to come up with reasonable solutions to solving problems, not just in school but also in real life situations. The faculty/staff and parents are all stakeholders in the learning community.
