Educational Philosophy
Mrs. Raleigh's philosophy when working with students with special needs come from two famous historical figures:

Albert Einstein:
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Franklin D. Roosevelt:
"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something."

She firmly believes in tapping into the strengths of students with special needs and finding ways to help them strive. She makes learning a invigorating experience which she hopes will lead to a love of learning for a life time.
