Laura Peacock
Summary
I am a veteran educator with more than 28 years of instructional experience, proficient in technology with an aptitude for multimedia essential to providing a diverse set of learning experiences to students, highly organized and resourceful with a passion for urban education, a strong science background and knowledgeable of best practices, open-minded and receptive to new ideas that are innovative and effective approaches to teaching, and an enthusiastic participant in the continuous learning in the Shelby County Schools.
My Philosophy
I believe education is the understanding of concepts, not necessarily learning facts. I believe children should be taught how to think, not how to recite. I believe education is learning and understanding higher order thinking skills necessary to become a productive adult and to contribute to society in a positive way. I believe technology is the key to these beliefs. Technology opens the world to learners of all ages. I believe it is my job to help those who want and need my knowledge and experience in order to achieve their own goals.
