When educating the mind's of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.
I Believe…
Teachers and students learn from each other
Teachers should make a connection to their students
Students should be taught they have control over there futures
Teachers should NEVER belittle a student
Teachers should apologize to students when they’ve made a mistake
You should accommodate different learning styles
Lesssons should be interactive with students
The main purpose of education is to develop students’ ability to think critically and integrate ideas, rather than to accumulate facts.
Students learn best when actively engaged.
Success is best measured in the behavioral changes of students.
Meaningful learning occurs when students are allowed to confront real problems, make choices, and find solutions.
If prospective teachers are to learn how to help their students learn, they must be immersed in the same learning experiences that their students will encounter.
teaching is a messy and non-linear business that is best guided by knowing our students deeply as readers, as writers, and as people.
