My Philosophy on Education

My philosophy on education is that every child CAN learn. Students may learn differently, but as a teacher it is my job to give them the correct tools so that they all may experience success and obtain a strong education that will be used throughout the rest of the students' lives. I am a strong believer in Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. The Zone of Proximal Development is the theory that students are capable of a large amount of material that may not be deemed age appropriate, with the correct amount of scaffolding, guidance, and push to reach their full potential. I believe that if pushed and guided in a loving, caring, and structured way students' learning are limitless. My job in education is to find where my students' levels are and push them to reach their complete potential.
