About Judit Kerekes

Educational philosophy
Professor Kerekes’ educational philosophy is based on a perspective that education is one of the few fields which can promote a positive change for the future. Professor Kerekes visits classrooms frequently, and she continues to collaborate with pre- and in-service students. Together they discuss their classroom needs, developing new strategies and considering how to address each child’s learning needs. The power of professional peer learning and collaboration are indeed powerful paradigms which characterize her educational philosophy and teaching style.
