My Teaching Philosophy

Unlike popular singer Whitney Houston , I do not believe children are our future.I believe they are our present as well. Because of this as a teacher I believe I must be very careful in the way I interact with my students. As a matter a fact, I embrace the idea that today begins tommorow.
In addition I believe children live what they learn and learn what they live.Because the home is where children first live, I accept that home plays an inegral role in the development of students, especially those from kindergarten to highschool. As a teacher I therefore believe it is important for me to work closely with the home
