Philosophy of Education As an aspiring educator, I believe that teachers must be both committed and passionate about both content and student achievement if they are to meet the demands and expectations of students parents, administrators, and superintendents throughout America. I believe that the foundation of student success is laid only after careful and scrupulous preparation on the part of educators.
