Q&A with Zoe

It is important for a teacher to deliver instruction in ways that address the needs of his or her individual students. The best way to develop new skills and ideas varies from one learner to another, and I make it a priority to quickly identify the best ways to help each of my students absorb new content and practice targeted strategies. Learning a concept also means something different to each student. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to master something new, and everyone can bring something different to the task. Each student must find her own source of motivation to learn, and the teacher's job is to help them find it. In order to do this I always like to find out what excites and challenges each of my students, and to find new ways I can use this information to engage them in their own unique learning process. Likewise, learners need to feel their unique capabilities and perspectives are valued, and I make a point of showing the ways I respect the needs, talents and interests of my students when I teach. One of the greatest rewards of teaching is seeing students take pride not only in their academic accomplishments, but also in their authentic selves as thinkers. Nothing makes me happier than seeing this happen!
