WHAT I BELIEVE IN • ONE SHOULD LEARN THE ESSENTIALS IN A PROGRESSIVE MANNER WHICH THEN ALLOWS US TO MOVE ON TO LEARN GREAT IDEAS • INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL STANDARDS NEED TO BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL • THE STUDENT’S INTERESTS AND NEW IDEAS ARE IMPORTANT TO MAKE A BETTER FUTURE • IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO LEARN
INFLUENCED BY WHAT • EARLY SCHOOL EXPERIENCES • CHILDREN SHOULD BE RESPECTED • ALL CHILDREN CAN EXCEL • LATER SCHOOL EXPERIENCES • BASIC SKILLS A MUST • THINKING/FEELING/DOING IMPORTANT • LIFE EXPERIENCES • HUMANS ARE RATIONAL • GREAT IDEAS MUST BE TAUGHT • COLLEGE IS FOR EVERYONE

GOAL OF EDUCATION • PROVIDE ALL CHILDREN THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO SUCEED IN OUR SOCIETY AND TRAIN CHILDREN TO THINK QUICKLY, EFFECTIVELY, AND MORALLY • MY PHILOSOPHY IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS GOAL IN THAT IT ASSUMES THAT THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE AND THE CHILD AS AN INDIVIDUAL ARE BOTH ONE AND THE SAME
What This Means • ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE TAUGHT IN A PROGRESSIVE MANNER INTERGRATED INTO A PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION WHICH INCLUDES THE STUDY OF GREAT IDEAS OF EAST AND WEST ENSURES THAT THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS RECEIVE WHAT IS RIGHTLY DUE THEM. AN EDUCATION! • CAUTION: WHEN CONTEMPLATING CHANGES IN EDUCATION REMEMBER THAT THE CHILD WHO IS TAUGHT A “MISTAKE” IN EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OR METHOD IS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE.
