“All the great humans have been as I am now, and there is nothing I can’t do; there is no country in the world I cannot make part of myself, if I choose, I contain the world. I can make of it what I want. If I choose, I can change everything that is going to happen: it depends on me, and what I decide now.”
This passage from Doris Lessings short story, Sunrise on the Veld, captures the essence of inquiry, passion, and adventure of young learners. I believe that education should embody these same qualities in order to create dynamic classroom environments that allow students to construct knowledge and grow through their own experiences.
It is my conviction that education is the marrow of life. The acts of discovering, exploring, and learning are fundamental components of our humanity, ones that must be supported, nurtured, and encouraged within the classroom. My vision is that schools will act as a microcosm of the world, places that students can come discover, understand, and thrive.
I believe my philosophy of teaching and learning will help me direct students to capture their own essence of inquiry, passion, and adventure. When students enter into a classroom, their journey of education begins, but it does not end when they leave it. As a mentor and a guide, I will help students become autonomous individuals that experience learning in the present and crave learning for their future.
