Education is a field that is often affected by new research or innovation.  In order to provide students with a viable and guaranteed curriculum, we must consistently challenge the current pedagogy and find new ways to assess students based on the process of learning.  Although required by the State to participate in standardized testing and factor in this data,  our classrooms should be marked with creativity, flexibility, safety, and inspiration. The atmosphere in school buildings should be structured to nurture curiosity, praise effort, and acknowledge the process of learning as the ultimate catalyst for growth.  Learning should be portrayed as a messy, joyful process where our minds are ever-expanded and our goals are always being enhanced.
