About Me


My name is Grace Ibidun. I joined HBU family in summer 2015 and currently doing my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, EC-6. I will be graduating in August by God’s grace, it’s been a wonderful experience so far been a student of HBU. I am not teaching presently but I hope to find a job after graduation to teach Social Studies/History. 


My Educational Philosophy

A philosophy of education will serve as a guide to why I am training to be a professional in my field of study. I believe every child has the right to learning and can actually be taught, my role as a teacher and my desires for my students makes up my philosophy. No child should be left behind in learning, even those with learning disabilities can be great learners when the teacher plays her part and with the aid of technology it becomes very easy to achieve. Every student that will pass through my class should excel in learning irrespective of their weaknesses and strengths, the various models of teaching i have learned will help me to achieve this. My students should be encouraged and motivated while learning is taking place. A good relationship I believe will also be a plus to both teacher and students.
