I truly believe that the pursuit of education is a long road, both for the people receiving the education and for the system that provides it.
I believe in our education system. I believe that our schools provide a large set of new situations in a safe and supervised environment that are conducive to diverse methods of learning, interacting, and thinking. I believe that these situations complement those not commonly found at home while providing opportunities to learn unfamiliar academic and professional skills that are important for an individual to be successful in society.
I believe in the current system’s values of meritocracy, equality, equity, multiculturalism and the liberal humanist notions of the individual.
I believe in the purity of education, the importance of academia and the necessity to align education to schooling through tailored applications.
And because I do believe that no education system is without flaws and limitations, in the next sections I have outlined my philosophy (6 considerations) aimed at maintaining my beliefs and how my philosophy aligns with my pedagogical views regarding my students and my classroom.
