 Educational Philosophy

Mrs. Wilkinson believes that teachers, in partnership with parents, administrators, and the community, are responsible for preparing children academically, socially, and spiritually to become independent and contributing future adults. Teachers need to assess children in the present moment, envision the future, and utilize intuitive and research-based teaching applications and strategies to maximize each child’s potential growth. The well-being of the students comes first.

• To build skills that challenge students to apply, analyze, and integrate knowledge in order to evaluate information.
