The Global English Nursery - Philosophy
Our fraternity believes in the following….
- Inspire the Child, Inspire the World.
- Every child is unique and with guidance and support can use their special gift to make a difference in themselves and our world. Show them all the beauty they possess inside to give them a sense of pride.
- Students learn best when they are actively involved in their education, when they become responsible for their growth as students, and when their learning is based on life experiences.
- It is essential for students to develop a commitment to the larger community.
- A diverse student body is an essential component of an experiential education.
- Instruction should use a whole-to-part approach.
- Instruction should be rooted in authentic, real world situations.
- Instruction should foster flexibility through multiple perspectives.
- Instruction should be sensitive to the developmental progression of students.
- Instruction should assume an action orientation.
- Instruction should foster reflection and articulation.
- The importance of students’ feeling that the teacher cares about their learning and them as individuals.
- Teachers are those that show you where to look but don't tell you what to see.
- Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
- Nine tenths of education is encouragement.
- Instruction should involve modeling.
- Instruction should involve coaching.
- Instruction should involve scaffolding.
- Taking Education to the Last Child.
