I believe...
in financial literacy.
in treating everyone with respect, inside and outside of the classroom.
communicating classroom routines and procedures clearly.
in understanding the needs and backgrounds of each students.
centering lessons around classroom discussions, one on one, partner, group, or whole class.
in solving classroom situations in the classroom as a class.
having the students help with norms.
community and family involvement is essential.
in giving the students a say in the classroom.
that the teacher is not the holder of all the knowledge.
failure should be encouraged, and learned from.
diversity is celebrated, encouraged and understood.
in social and emotional learning.
giving students control in the classroom helps diversify the learning.

Personalize the classrooms, not only to yourself but to your class.
