4. “My philosophy of education is that all children are
unique and must have a stimulating educational
environment where they can grow mentally, emotionally,
and socially. It is my desire to create this type of
atmosphere where students can meet their full potential.
I will provide a safe environment where students are
invited to share their ideas and take risks. They should be
able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their
learning as I operate as a facilitator.”
