PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION I believe an educator has the responsibility to instill in all students a passion to learn and to help students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become productive, responsible citizens and enthusiastic lifelong learners. An educator must require high standards and expectations of all students and must differentiate instruction to meet student readiness levels, learning styles, and interests.
