Kenneth Davis
I have been teaching for over 20 years now and the field of education is constantly changing, as is my view on education. I know that with each passing year, I am able to gain valuable information from my students, my peers, my supervisors and through self-examination. My personal philosophy on education is to create a trusting, professional and open relationship between myself, staff, parents and students to allow the greatest opportunity to learn.
