A Little About
|
Teaching Philosophy |
Our teaching philosophy echoes our school's commitment to service learning and social justice. We believe that through our content, we can cultivate qualities that allow for true understandings of social justice and service learning. These qualities surround a central goal of cultivating empathy. Empathy plays a central role in being able to understand ourselves and those around us. By looking at characters in a book, and putting ourselves in their shoes, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our own ideas and characters. By putting ourselves in the context of historical time periods, we generate ideas of our own place in our contemporary society. All this goes to ultimately better our students as citizens and people.
