Education Philosophy

"If I ran a school, I’d give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I’d give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them." -R. Buckminster Fuller

I was asked today by the head of school to create my educational philosophy with 25 words or less for the website. It got me thinking and here's wha tI came up with:

I believe in teaching each child to recognize their strengths, so they build a solid foundation within themselves. I provide them with the encouragement to continue building.
