Teaching Philosophy
All children even our youngest should be provided with learning experiences that reflect how we live, play and think in our complex society. I’m passionate about seeing children develop to their full potential and have an awareness of the unique nature of child’s learning journey and experiences. I believe that children learn best when they are encouraged, supported and comfortably challenged. All children can achieve success in an environment, which is structured to cater for individual learning styles, where educators encourage children to learn about their own learning and that of fellow students. Children who are encouraged to be independent inquirers, yet co-operative learners, will then have the necessary skills to develop their whole self. They will then be able to move confidently into society based on their knowledge of themselves as internationally minded citizens. Consequently, classrooms that nurture independent inquiry and collaboration amongst their students, prepare them for social interaction and the challenges of the future.
