=PHILOSOPHY of EDUCATION= ==As an educator it is my responsibility to prepare children for the future. I must educate children so they are ready to deal with real life experiences. I believe learning should be fun and I understand not every child learns the same way. In a classroom setting I will be faced with many challenges. There will be students with different learning styles, different attitudes, and different family backgrounds. As an educator it is my duty to take each challenge and successfully educate each child. Just as education is an opportunity, so is teaching. I will take my opportunity and use it to my best ability. As children learn from me, I will also learn from them. My passion has become my dream, and my dream has become my career! ==
