Education+Philosophy

====One size does not fit all. When looking at a class you have to see the individuals in the classroom and not the general class. As the teacher you have to realize that each individual student learns at different paces and in different ways. One way to think of this is that your students are on a journey you are the map. Now you are there to help them but they have to think and may the choices on which roads to take. Also as the leader of the student sometimes you have to guide them to go down that one road. Teachers not only should teach the content in which they are teaching but have students think outside the box and challenge the students to reach new levels of learning. As a facilitator of learning you should take time with students and setting goals. Goals are only as good as your plan to reach them. Another philosophy I have is that people learn when they are having fun. Teacher should think outside the box with their lesson plans and try to make each lesson fun and enjoyable. Also as a teacher you have to try and inspire students to want to succeed. Remind them ultimately it is their future and they have to be willing to take the initiative to be the best you can be.====
