Our Philosophy on Education

What is One -Room’s Educational Philosophy?

Here at One-Room Education, it is my goal to provide you with the most practical educational tools to help your students excel in an impractical world.

An educational philosophy is a person or group’s views on how education should work. Here in the One-Room, I put mine front and center so you know what we are all about from the start.
1

You do NOT need to be a professional educator to be a good teacher.

Great teachers come from a passion for learning and sharing knowledge, not just formal qualifications.

2

The primary responsibility of a student’s education falls on the parents or guardians of that student.

Parents and guardians shape the core of a student’s educational journey, both at home and in school.

3

The majority of education happens outside of the classroom.

Learning happens in everyday life, from the grocery store to a nature hike.

Anywhere can be a “classroom”, whether you are going to the store, the park or working at the kitchen table.

Classrooms are everywhere—your home, the park, or even a family trip.

5

Each student is an individual and has a unique way of looking at things that needs to be taken into consideration when creating either a curriculum or an individual lesson plan.

Personalized learning respects each student’s perspective and strengths.

6

Every student is able to achieve the standards we set for them, so make sure to hold them to the highest achievable standard for that student.

Students rise to the expectations we set—keep those standards high.

7

Always set realistic goals for your students and yourself.

Achievable goals help both students and teachers stay motivated.

8

Always ensure that every assignment has a purpose. Don’t just assign busy work for students.

Every assignment should have a clear goal—never just to fill time.

9

No subject is stand-alone. All subjects overlap in some way and it is important to keep this in mind when teaching any of them.

Subjects like math, history, and science all interconnect—teaching this helps students think critically.

Paper is always better. I know ... 'but the trees!' but trust me, this one is backed up by a lot of science.

Studies show that writing on paper aids memory and learning better than typing.
