My eyes are greyish blueish green, But I'm told they look orange in the night. Effective teaching is not being a stickler to only one line of thought but incorporating many to address each student's individual needs. Torey - 'Somebody Else's Kids'BY tOREY hAYDEN TOREY AND HER TEACHING PHILOSOPHY Torey's teaching philosophy fits so well with the poem 'Colors' by Shell Silverstein, C O L O R S My skin is kind of sort of brownish Pinkish yellowish white. I strongly agree with Torey's teaching philosophy and I too think that it is most important to get to know each student, not just at face value but who the student truly is. Torey uses her own colors inside, her feelings and knowledge, her care and concern to teach her students in the most effective, respectful and loving way in order to enhance their beauty. Torey does not use one method, but incorporates many learning styles into her teaching in order to effectively reach out to each and every student according to the students needs.

Besides for seeing her students with their many colors, Torey's teaching fits into this poem as well. Torey does not only look at the colors on the outside of her students but reaches in to understand who they truly are, even when there is no name for the color, and something seems truly indescribably, Torey sees its beauty. She has penned five others: Somebody Elses Kids (1982), Murphys Boy (1983), Just Another Kid (1988), Ghost Girl (1992), and Tiger Child (1995), the sequel to. Some colors are strengths while others are weaknesses, but you must use all to complete a beautiful masterpiece. Each of Torey's students are unique and have many different colors to them it is these colors that make them so beautiful. Torey sees each student as an individual, and not a simple black and white picture. Torey's teaching philosophy fits so well with the poem 'Colors' by Shell Silverstein,īut I'm told they look orange in the night.
