EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY:
I believe the goal of education is to impart specific knowledge to the student and foster inquisitive and independent thinking/learning which will enable the student to handle new ideas and problems. While students must share responsibility for this, one of the most important jobs of the teacher is to motivate the student to accept that responsibility. The teacher can facilitate the learning process by (i) presenting the information in a challenging and interesting manner, (ii) setting and conveying explicit and demanding standards and (iii) exploring relationships that enable the student to consider new information in context with that which she/he already understands. Grades should be given in accordance with established standards, but should not discourage a student who is performing at his/her potential. Discipline which is meted out must be consistent and in accordance with established policies. Flexibility and adaptability are appropriate, but only in the context of attempting to implement behavior modifications that will help the students interact more appropriately in their environment.PROBLEM STUDENT OBSERVATIONS:
Jennifer: “You know, you really care Mr. Stewart”Anthony: “I respect you…because you're always calm…I feel I can trust you”
