The rapid changes that affect knowledge demand that schools continually evaluate the best way to teach and learn. Technology offers numerous ways of strengthening learning for both students and teachers. Studies in such areas as brain functioning have remarkable potential for increasing student learning, but only if schools have greater access to scientific information. Students will benefit from teachers who are actively engaged in their own professional development and their own attempts to advance the field of education. Individual students learn best in an environment that maximizes their potential for learning.
Every student has affinities which, if discovered and nurtured, can strengthen learning.
The more the teacher and the student know about learning, the more effectively learning tends to develop. An ultimate goal of education is to have the student assume responsibility for learning. Teachers have a responsibility to continually refine and assess their curriculum and instruction to meet their students' needs as effectively as possible. No one theory or model is sufficient for creating a whole view of learning. The best education occurs in a community where the student, the parent, and the teacher work in partnership.
