That way it satisfies their curiosity and makes them more...

...in these courses stems from the singular mode by which they are traditionally taught, leading many folks to believe that "they are not math/science people" or that "I cannot learn that." These courses, like all other courses, have their challenges and I address these challenges on an individual basis focused on the learning style (written, visual, audible) of the student. To do this, I develop very short mini-lesson plans guided on educating me: the goal...

...how wonderful they truly are. Student teaching has reinforced my thoughts that teachers not only grow their students' minds, but they cultivate the entire child. Students need to know how to maneuver wisely in life to become successful.

For instance, I spoke with one of my students...
