"Learning is a true reflection of one's life experiences, aspirations and thirst to persevere. A quality education provides students with life experiences that transforms the students thoughts and actions, such that the student develops an identity--a sense of purpose and plans to fulfill that purpose." 

Andrea Klein • School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 5th Grade Academics, 10th year of teaching  

"My philosophy of education can be summed up in three quotes: 
'A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops,' Henry Adams 
'If the student fails to learn the teacher fails to teach,' Anon 
'I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand,' Chinese proverb"   

"In our perpetual quest toward excellence, our objective is to continue to refine ourselves and develop the skills that will make learning encounters more effective and relevant in our academic communities. Sound theories, research, and practice should be the compatible components which comprise our well defined goals. We must always remember that the most fascinating and valuable subjects embraced will always be our students and their success. This is what helps ensure longevity in the profession and delight in the process. "

Donna Robinson • Henry Clay High School, Health/PE, 20th year of teaching  

"Each student is important to me and I go to great lengths to ensure that they not only learn the material I teach, but to develop a bond with them in which they feel free to come to me with any problems or concerns!"
