Within the heart of one's mind
lies the pulse of creativity, if you will,
one's essence.
Limiting experience blocks insight.
Limited vision obscures possibilities.

Visiting schools from Norway to New Zealand,
exploring curriculums from Waldorf to Summerhill,
A few common elements are striking; 
Each curriculum focus is on the child, beit from different perspectives.
Each educational system reflects, no matter how distinct and different in delivery,
global similarities. 
Children are children;
learning is treated as a developing heuristic pathway.
 The one common element of these diverse educational settings,
is also the most powerful element.-
The teacher!
If children held themselves in fear, awe, wonderment, excitement,
or
bliss,
it was the teacher's awe inspiring or fear provoking power
that beat
the heart of every child.

It is belief driven thoughts that make our realities. 
As a person thinks,
 they become.
The educational
 success of each child
 is held in the
hands and vision
of every teacher!
