The Journey ...

What I Believe About Children & Their Education

10/27/2016

0 Comments

 
In my EDL 610 course, which is Visionary Leadership, we are working on developing a leadership platform.  This is meant to be my belief post as I create this platform.

I firmly believe that every child should be given all the tools they need to be successful on their chosen path.  This does not mean being spoon-fed answers and information; rather, the skills to ask the right questions and be able to make informed decisions and choices based on those answers.  I was proud of my AAS staff who came together to rewrite our vision statement earlier this year, which in part reads "
inspiring scholars to appreciate the ways in which arts and sciences nurture a curiosity for life-long learning, and prepare scholars to take responsibility for their future success."  

​I share this sentiment - I believe education is about preparing scholars to take responsibility for their future success, whether 
that is to continue to earn a bachelors degree after graduating high school, or entering the workforce.  The choice is theirs and they will have the tools to be successful.
