About Me

I am trying to expose them to. I will do this while addressing the variety of needs and level of knowledge levels of students that come into my classroom. Second, the environment of the classroom needs to be considered. The class itself needs to have the ability to ask questions freely and have them answered, so I will leave some time in my instruction to ask questions and get them answered (any types of questions as long as it's appropriate for the classroom). Discipline will have its place in the classroom, but becoming a tyrant will help no one. Part of that idea is that I will be calm and professional at all times (if somewhat excited when talking about my subject). The students need to have a disciplined but engaging environment where they have the opportunity to practice the information and skills that they are picking up in the school in forms other than merely quizzes and tests. I want to encourage critical-thinking skills in the students and not rote memorization, as becomes an all too common trap. Finally, I will let the students have the chance to be what they are: children. They need to have the opportunities to make mistakes and get into minor mishaps. While maintaining professionalism, we need to make connections to the students and see them as people, not just faceless students. We as educators need to show them that while it's not ok to make mistakes all the time, it is worthwhile to see them as learning opportunities. After all, learning is what we are here to help facilitate.
