Educational Philosophy

• The purpose of education is character development through the successful completion of cognitive challenges
• A teacher cannot allow a student to opt out
• Enthusiasm and optimism make up for many teaching and learning deficiencies
• All things are possible with expert help, time, and practice
• Formative assessment is crucial and is best observed through meaningful conversations
• Feedback should be constructive, as immediate as possible, and demanding
• Summative assessment should be challenging and open-ended
• Quality instructional design always has the content at the center
• Technology is an integral part of the modern classroom
• Media literacy is a crucial part of the all curriculum
• Success is not an endpoint, it is an adverb describing how a class is functioning everyday in both small and big ways.
