THIS I BELIEVE
I believe that to be an effective teacher is to truly love what you do no matter how difficult and challenging some days may be, and believe me, there will be many difficult and challenging days in the life of a teacher. I believe that teaching is an incredible profession that will always allow you to be a learner. I believe that it is important to create an environment where students can learn to think, as is one of Albert Einstein's quotes "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." The training of the mind to think is no simple task due to high pressures of scope and sequence, and standardized testing; however, with the right balance I believe we can help our students become efficient and successful students. I believe that we are not only teachers, but carry on so many other roles too. We need to be able to express to our students that our choices have consequences whether good or bad; therefore, to choose wisely. Furthermore, I believe that our past mistakes don't define us, as long as we're positive, get on the right path, we will move forward. I believe we all can succeed with positive support, good and healthy choices, and the desire to attain goals.
