My philosophy of education

I feel as though the mission of education is to foster a full range of human capacities and to identify what children possess. It is up to the educator to ensure each child feels a sense of worth, accomplishment, success, and pride in the classroom. However, one must remember that teachers are not employed to teach, they are employed to see that students learn. Therefore, learning is to be emphasized over teaching. I believe that every student has something that motivates him or her, and the teacher must search it out and use it appropriately. Aside from a teacher’s dedication and drive to better their students’ education, it is essential that these educational figures go the extra step to ensure that the classroom remains a fun and enjoyable environment in order to catch and maintain a child’s attention and willingness to absorb curriculum material. With a partnership between parents, students, and teachers working as a team, educational programs will continue to prosper and develop.
