Philosophy of Education
Education is part of a cycle learning and teaching. I feel that children and adults should be encouraged to learn. Learning should not stop after one graduates from high school or college, but should be a continuous activity in our lives. Students need to be inspired by teachers, parents, and their community to reach their full potential.
Education needs to be emphasized as an important aspect of life. In today's society, success, in many instances, is measured by level of education. Without education, one's opportunities in life are all too often limited.
Education should be the primary focus of our communities and legislators. Every child has the right to be educated, but it is not always a quality education. Knowledge is something that we acquire and use to become refined citizens in our community. That puts the responsibility of education on everyone.
The role of a teacher is one of facilitator. Student's should feel that they are involved in their own education. Teacher's can encourage self-concept by having a flexible classroom where the students participate in decisions that affect them. Students, in general, are concerned about their education. As teacher's we need to enhance their ability to learn with creative and unique ways to teach the subject matter.
