When planning for a year, plant corn, When
planning for a decade, plant trees. When

My educational philosophy

• Teachers must help students achieve a
  knowledge base, to take them forward as
  productive members in society, and help them to
  move from novices to experts in whatever area of
  study they are pursuing. Students must seize the
  educational opportunities given to them and learn
  as much as they can. When this bond is formed
  leaders capable of taking us into the future will
  be created.

• Bidos personalized system of instruction has
  its foundation on Fred Kellers 1968 approach to
  college instruction that was based on behavioral
  principles (Keller,1968).
• It combines Howard Gardners multiple
  intelligence theory and John M. Kellers ARCS
  model of motivation.

BPSI Theory

• What is multiple intelligence theory?
• This theory of human intelligence, developed by
  psychologist Howard Gardner, suggests there are
  at least seven ways that people have of
  perceiving and understanding the world. Gardner
  labels each of these ways a distinct
  "intelligence"--in other words, a set of skills
  allowing individuals to find and resolve genuine
  problems they face (Funderstanding, 2001).

• What is the ARCS Model of Motivation?
• John M. Keller proposed four conditions that
  must be met for a learner to be motivated to
  learn. Attention, relevance, confidence, and

  be met in order to motivate someone to learn
  (Driscoll, 2000) .
