Philosophy of Education

By Sarah Brun

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than

what to think--rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory

with thoughts of other men. ~Bill Beattie

Promote lifelong learning and problem solving.

Create authentic learning opportunities in and out of the classroom.

Teach children to love learning and to see the magic in discovering.

Model excitement and love of knowledge.

Use teamwork and collaboration to reach

goals, both personal and academic.

Believe in children and help them to believe in

themselves.

Nurture strengths and provide tools to support areas of

difficulty.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

W. B. Yeats
