Educational
Philosophy
My
educational philosophy is that children learn best when they are
in an atmosphere where their strengths can be realized and the
curriculum is taught using a variety of methods. My approach in
the Better Learning Center is to tailor instruction to meet the
individual needs of each student. My general goal for children,
which is derived from the Rocky Hill motto “know thyself,” is
for them to understand that they are unique creations, and thus,
need to use individual strategies to help them reach their potential.
