Mr. Stephen Bore
Education Philosophy
I believe that all students, no matter what level are capable of learning. I have seen children and adults with a variety of intellectual and mental challenges that have been able to learn above what others thought they were capable of.
I believe that teaching is more than a job. It is a calling and a lifestyle, and takes a dedication to continually work to improve and enhance your capabilities as a teacher. I believe in being flexible as a teacher, in continually identifying what is and isn’t working and in trying a variety of techniques and methods to reach all students in the class. I believe in abundant praise and encouragement, and correction when necessary. I believe in letting students try a variety of methods to help them understand the best way(s) that they learn, and encouraging them in this discovery. |

I am a father, a husband, a brother, and a life-long learner. I am also an official world record holder (verification now confirmed with Guinness) for participation in The Great Namaste- http://riskology.co/worlds-longest-yoga-chain/ Update: sadly, our record has been broken, or should I say smashed. Our 808 were upended by a group of over 3000! I enjoy finding and sharing uplifting and positive messages, such as: "Your ability to create is limited by the breadth of information in your head."

This was a fun activity we did in our Ed Psych class in PSII. The activity was to demonstrate an effective way for students in your class to get to know each other better. Each of us wrote on a sheet of paper our name followed by the word is. The paper was then taped onto our back and everyone in the classroom had the opportunity to write something positive about each other without us knowing who had written what.
