Educational philosophy:

My philosophy of education is that I believe that every person has the ability to learn if he/she is placed in the correct educational environment.  One must realize that individual's progress at different rates of speed in the learning process therefore educators must vary instructional teaching methods to ensure that all students are successful.  The educator must also be familiar with learning styles and provide instruction geared toward all types of learning styles, to include the auditory, visual and kinetic learner.  Most of all, the educator must have genuine concern of all mankind that comes from the heart.  Personal advancement and career advancement cannot be the reasons that educators teach.  There must be a real love for the art of shaping minds that will lead for future generations.  Research has shown that students usually excel when they believe that the educators truly believe in their total well-being.  In summation, I believe that all students, regardless of age, race or gender can succeed if placed in the right educational environment with an educator who understands educational progress.
