Credo

Nature of Student: All students want to learn and are capable to succeed, given the right push from teacher, parent and classmates.

Success with attempts: Success is evolved from failures from practices, therefore students should be given enough practices before an test/quiz is counted for final grade.

Positive feedback loop of learning: Student must experience success while learning in order to have a positive outlook at the subject and its application to real world, failure to success brings negative consequences.

Success by effort and result: Every student has different forte, both effort and result should be included as parts of a holistic assessment.

Teach how to learn: Teacher’s primary role is to cultivate student with ability and aptitude to learn about subject at hand, student's ability and willingness to pursue further learning is more important than covering content at length.
