A Message From Stephen G. Peters
Stephen G. Peters
Knowledge is essential when it comes to teaching anything and those who possess a wealth of it sometimes have issues disseminating what they know to others. We are convinced that success in classrooms and schools comes on the heels of the efforts of those who not only possess knowledge but also the understanding of multiple ways of getting others to understand concepts and applications.
The greatest teachers always know what they don’t know, but are resourceful enough to find ways to gather information. They also produce a climate for learning in their classrooms that breeds success at multiple levels. More importantly, great leaders and teachers understand that learning is a continuous cycle that never ends.
As we continue to provide quality services to America’s youth, we must unleash our compassion for the countless children who enter our schools wounded from their experiences and the world. Every decision we make on behalf of our students should take in consideration that student’s cultural and economic development. In doing so, we will finally be able to have higher expectations for all of our students, not just a selected group.
2010 offers educators new challenges and opportunities to forge an alliance dependent on our faith and expertise to hold us accountable for success for all. The Peters Group is committed to upholding the “power of education” and to a renewed vision of excellence for our youth.
