Behind every dedicated teacher is a dedicated student. I am a life-long learner. I truly believe this is the only way to be a great teacher in our ever-changing world. No two students will be alike. Each year our classrooms will change. Teaching techniques, ideas, laws, policies, and procedures will forever be changing. It is up to every single teacher to take the time to learn about their students each year. With enthusiasm and excitement we should try to discover the most effective ways to meet our students' needs both as individual learners and as a classroom whole. We should know that this may require creativity, communication, and collaboration with others. Due to the changes within society, children and the world itself, I know I will always need to be a student. I will need to take it upon myself to take the time for professional growth. I also firmly believe that although I am my students' teacher, sometimes the best teachers are the students themselves. Within each student and classroom is a learning experience waiting to happen.

I love the humanities because, with careful study, they build a person from the inside out.
