Laws of a Teacher

Stop growing today,
Stop teaching tomorrow.

Teaching that impacts is not head to head,
But Heart to Heart.

Old thinking: Practice makes Perfect
New thinking: Well Guided Practice Makes Perfect

Old thinking: Experience is the best teacher
New thinking: Properly evaluated experience is the Best Teacher

Old thinking: We learn by Doing
New thinking: We learn by Doing the Right Things

My philosophy - How children learn

I believe in nature and nurture.

I believe that each and every child has the potential of a genius.

I believe children have sensitive periods for learning and they learn certain subjects better at certain periods of time.

I believe that the early years are the best time to start education because that’s when children learn best.

I believe children learn best when they are relaxed and happy, when they feel safe and secure.

I believe children learn through hands-on exploration in purposeful, playful ways.

I believe children cannot be forced to learn.

I believe children have different learning styles, different intelligences.

I believe children’s healthy emotional and social development is more important than their cognitive development.
