educational philosophy
The artists have had it right all along, as far as I’m concerned:
"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in." - Leonardo da Vinci
“Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”- Pablo Picasso.
I believe that teachers have the responsibility and exciting challenge of creating a stimulating environment which promotes creative and constructive learning. I believe that children learn best when they actively participate in their own learning and when they experience learning through constructive lesson planning and execution. I believe that creativity is the key to personal engagement because it is inspiration plus individual expression that results in personal productivity. As teachers, we create the environment and provide the tools to facilitate such a process. Education is, above all, the process by which a student learns the skills and concepts which will shape a child’s perception and approach to the real world. Teachers and schools are therefore responsible for contributing to the shaping of well-balanced, thinking, open-minded and globally aware persons.
