The Promise…The Challenge: A Suzuki Teacher’s Pledge
We realize the unlimited possibilities of early education.
We also realize that every child can be educated.
Our purpose is to develop this ability, and present this fact to the world.
We are delighted to be teachers of the Suzuki Method and fully comprehend the responsibilities we have as teachers.
We will continue to study teaching in the future with much reflection, and through this continuing study we will be better able to concentrate energies toward better teaching.
We solemnly affirm that we will keep this promise as a Suzuki Method Teacher, and always do our utmost for our common purpose of educating the children of the world.
