I believe that knowledge is subjective and view our life experiences as essential to understanding the global world that surrounds us. Life and the universe are not static; consequently, I believe that a school’s curriculum should be active and evolving. The curriculum should reflect current events and prepare students to deal with the social issues that have the most impact on their lives. In the classroom, I believe that the teacher’s job is to guide learning as much as possible as a facilitator, rather than simply supply the answers. A good teacher should teach their students how to find and understand their own answers. Students should want to know and understand through questioning and a research-based curriculum. Furthermore, creating a learning environment that encourages students to view knowledge as “indeterminate and open-ended” helps students to become life-long learners.
