Michael Troiano's
Philosophy of Education
I believe that both students and teachers have basic rights and responsibilities.
* The right to
+ have fun and enjoy their school surroundings
+ respect
+ a safe environment, both physically and emotionally
+ current classroom materials and technology in working order
+ know what is expected of both teacher and student
+ have a say in classroom management
+ parent involvement
* The responsibility to
+ come to school prepared and ready to teach and learn
+ honor diversity in all forms
+ have an open mind
+ behave appropriately in an environment fitting to their task
+ cooperate with all connected parties so learning can take place
