I believe in the concepts of enlightenment, empowerment, and enhancement. One of the primary keys to walking this path is through education.. No matter the field, or experience…it takes some type of education to develop and grow in a positive fashion. As a leader the tenants of servant and transformational leadership guide my steps and decisions regarding my interactions with others. There is always thought behind what can be learned in each situation. Each person’s presence & influence can contribute to wisdom. My internal question is what is the legacy left by my actions. Whether the topic relates to arts, entrepreneurship, history or technology someone’s life should be improved because of efforts used.
My eclectic educational philosophy can be summarized by stating that the purpose of education is to transmit the knowledge, skills, and understandings of a currently existing society. This can be done in a setting where students have a basic grasp of the best information that its community and environment can offer with as little limitation as possible. Yet a never-ending process of education should allow each learner to develop academically, emotionally, socially, and practically with regard to subject matter so that he can contribute to his own development, as well as that of society, throughout his lifetime. Each learner should become the defender and advocate of further advancements in concepts, products, ideas, and even movements that shape society.
Therefore it is imperative that educators design curriculum and processes that arm the learners with valuable core knowledge and skills. Along with this should come learning activities and sequences that provide opportunities to function in roles that foster the initiation of high level thinking, maturity, worldview perspectives, and social benevolence. These points should be fused with incessant, intrinsic mental, spiritual/moral, physical, social/emotional, and financial/fiscal intelligence and development.
