My Philosophy of Education is:

I teach for passion, yet thinking critically and taking time to reflect take a high priority in the day's itinerary. I will extend care one on one. My welcome mat is an open-door policy with appointment slips of first come first served basis. You know your turn is up when a brilliant-colored Giant Sail (the class Icon) unfolds in front of you: Common In, Let's Go Sailing!

I uphold a peer-oriented classroom. The class's Peers is to classroom, as the President's cabinet members is to the Oval Office. Students will know if the follow the Class Giants they too are in the process of becoming one. I am catalyst. I care for people of all sorts. I am always curious, always want to know why children/folks/things/ do what they do; yet, help them appreciated their own competence and my own as well. Worry has no place in my world. Work will. How I support my students is what will make my day as a teacher. In return, my students will support the teacher! Moreover, education is not just a privilege; to me it is a birthright! I put a greater emphasis with parents participation. Parents will play major role in bringing up "baby". Parents will go in sync together with teacher's Efficacy - inseperably.

We are The Hybrid generation in a digital driven world. However, we will start class even under the Sycamore tree! We will keep on trying relentlessly until all students succeed. Somewhere, some persistent work, and/or some neo teachers' practices will push a lily out of a cobblestone at any kind of weather.
