Rosa Lee Coley Philosophy on Education I was inspired to teach from a bad experience I had when I was in elementary school. I was in the fourth grade and had a teacher that was very unfair to her students. We never played any learning games or activities. She was very as they say "old-school". She never smiled‚ never greeted us at the door‚ and we sat at our desk until it was recess time. It was always come in‚ sit down and do your work. This inspired me because I did not want to be like her

Teaching Philosophy I believe that education begins at home and that the responsibility of schools and educators is to enhance the values and skills taught by the child’s parents or guardians.

This is best done in a cooperative learning environment
