Philosophy

My educational philosophy is still changing and growing with each day in the education program here at Maryville College.  I believe that we are at a crucial time where great teachers are needed to encourage and challenge students to be the best they can be.  Unfortuately many students home life is not good so they look to school as somewhere they can escape and be themselves.  As teachers we need to scaffolded them and help them reach their ultimate potential.  I also believe that although school needs to be challenging it should be a place students have fun and feel safe.
