Teachers are not the only persons knowledge that should be honored in the classroom. Each student is unique and brings different experiences and knowledge in the classroom. Discussions are an essential tool for understanding and sharing these understandings. It is also a great way to address any misconceptions. My goals are to give the best opportunities for the students to succeed. I plan to always continue my education and to always work hard to understand the needs of each student. I will never stop looking for new ways of teaching and progressing with education and the world around us. Social and emotional skills are important for fostering a classroom based on giving students more control in their education. Children are our future and should be set up to succeed both in and out of school.
