My Philosophy:
Education is a journey that begins with questions and a need to know that fosters curiosity and collaboration. Sharing and performance are natural attributes in this process. Discovery learning requires more than experience teachers, since experience is the best teacher for discovery learning. Teachers will begin teaching by creating the need to know but students require more stimuli and experience to continue along the proper pathways. All students will learn something every single day whether I teach them, their peers teach them, or what ever daily experience they have teaches them. Learning is inevitable, but education is not.
