My Educational Philosophy

My educational philosophy is based on social structure; the idea that human beings are social creatures with an inherent need to form enduring relationships with each other. It is through this need that we grow as people and is the root of where our education takes place. Our inner drive to learn, and therefore grow, is inside all of us and must come from taking advantage of our basic human curiosities and expanding on something once we have mastered its basic tenets. A student is not just his or her mind but feelings as well. For them to become a whole person, they have to be in touch with who they are first in order for them to understand what will drive them now and in the future, and their journey to become who they are will no doubt be filled with conflict and frustration. Though it will be difficult at times to overcome, the struggle and growth that comes with it are necessary components as they grow with their personalities and understanding.
