The GoldlakeSM Philosophy
The GoldlakeSM Philosophy for teacher training provides the foundation for the following objectives to be realized:
- Ability to model proper behavior and response with a genuine heart, gentleness and sensitivity to each situation and individual - a noble task and endeavor that demonstrates human excellence and not necessarily perfection.
- Creation of an environment of nurturing and acceptance by which the student realizes that “failure” is the stepping stone to success. Failure is part of the entire journey - not a place to “give up” and be depressed or defeated, but a place to generate curiosity, and further resources and possibilities.
- Model proper behavior and response with a genuine heart, gentleness and sensitivity to each situation and individual - a noble task and endeavor that will demonstrate human excellence and not necessarily perfection.
- Possess confidence to be part of an organic learning process. It requires hard work, much commitment, and a willingness to step into the unknown. One's vulnerabilities are exposed - definitely an act of bravery and humility - a journey of discovery for student and teacher.
- Demonstrate ability to help guide the learning process and not control it with personal biases or overlays of assumptions, but help students arrive at their own conclusions, theories, and discoveries.
