Teacher Education

"Develop the whole person: morally... intellectually, and physically by gentle means which disposes one to gentleness... Building up and not tearing down. Train the citizens of a republic in the habit of investigation; in communication, in the constant use of words... The secret of adaptability and success in the world lies in... the methodical and inventive development of intelligence."   Jose Martí, 1883
