Education is the map that guides every child on their journey to unlock his/her potential and passion.

I believe it is important to know my students`names and surnames and the correct pronunciation there off. This shows each learner that they are important to me and I know who they are; not just another learner in my grade 12 class.

I believe in treating all learners in the same manner weather it is the criteria for a merit or a punishment ; all learners are treated with fairness. If you do the crime, you will do the time, it does not matter if it is the head boy or the class clown.

This is by far my biggest philosophy in the discuss classroom.  When a learner confides in you it means they think you are reliable and trustworthy.  To break his/her trust could cause irreparable long term damage. In some instances it might be minor where a bit of counselling is just what is needed or more severe where professional services are needed. In the case of the latter, it is vital to discuss the need and process of involving other people as they will feel you betrayed them without their consent.

It has been proven that learners feel a sense of security when they know what is expected and what the consequences will be.  I am a firm believer in setting ground rules for my classroom and following through on them - even if I have to write 20 demerits on a Monday morning for learners not wearing a tie. Consistency let`s learners know that they cannot take any changes as I will not let it slip by.
