I believe that our children need an educational foundation that will transfer from the classroom to their everyday lives. My goal is for my students to grow academically as well as personally during each school year. I believe that every student learns differently. I feel that it is my responsibility as a teacher to encourage my students to learn through different techniques, a positive and engaging classroom, and personal motivation.

As a teacher, I will enhance the minds of my students by helping them understand how important education is. I want my students to have a positive outlook on education and to develop personal values. I want to help them learn to achieve success and be better prepared for the future. I will demonstrate how to meet these goals by encouraging them to be creative, to share what they have learned, and by providing a democratic classroom atmosphere. I will also teach them to transfer their learning outside of the classroom.

I will use cooperative learning and other diverse learning techniques in my classroom. I believe that using collaborative learning helps promote social skills. It also teaches them how to work with others. I will also use problem-solving and critical thinking techniques, along with other hands-on activities to promote their ability to reason and make educated decisions.

By using classroom organization and management, I will create a positive classroom environment where my students feel free to participate in open discussions.  I want each of my students to form a sense of respect for each other. Positive behavior strategies will be kept in my classroom by being a good role model as the teacher, giving clear instructions and expectations, and redirection. It is essential for me to have open and positive communication with my students and their parents.

Every student has their own learning style, and I believe that it is my responsibility to know how every one of my students' learn. Tests, observations, assignments, and informal evaluations will be ways I will evaluate my students. I want my students to have a positive outlook on education and life. I believe that this can be met by my students' ability to see my love for teaching and learning. I will encourage them to be creative,  share with them what I have learned, and allow them to share what they have learned.

I hope that at the end of each school year, my students leave my classroom a better student personally and academically.
