Hello;

My name is Kevin Higgins, and this is my professional home page. Highlighted here are some aspects of my teaching and contact information to enable employers to evaluate me as a potential candidate quickly and conveniently.

My teaching philosophy and practice are very simple:”Teach to the child.” Many years of experience coupled with extensive study in content, brain science and experiential learning have taught me that children are quite capable if we accept the responsibility of genuinely understanding each and every one of them as learners.

So many concepts being lauded in contemporary education have been the cornerstones of my practice for 15 years. Differentiation, Inclusion, Learning Styles, Response to Intervention, Input Modalities, Multiple Intelligences are all notions and methodologies that have driven my IEP development, lesson planning and instruction for over a decade and a half.

By reaching the child at their most efficient learning behaviors the door is opened to maximize growth, and more importantly, nurture reflective and autonomous learners who begin to define and advance their own intellectual journey. A significantly high rate of my graduates thankfully exceed early expectations, and enthusiastically report out on their continued development and successes.

As much as I can be proud of my efforts and impact, we are teachers, and every one of these stories is a humbling reminder to knuckle down and push forward. Each and every child is an important member of our society who we need to not only dream of but reach their potential, and it is our solemn duty to push every limit of science and art in teaching to make that happen.

Thank you,

Kevin B. Higgins
