Educational Philosophy:
I believe education should be lifelong, and by that I mean we should encourage and influence our students to continually explore. I believe a student should be urged to teach themselves and each other in every available instance. This can be done by using peer mentor groups, in class discussion, and many other techniques. By doing this we ensure that our students will continue to strive for more knowledge and greatness. Through education, the world can be changed.
