= //I believe.....// = //I believe that a teacher must begin by modeling how to learn and embrace learning. Learning is not about memorizing facts; it is an ongoing journey of overall comprehension that never ends. The purpose of education is to find the fun in and love of learning in order to continue the journey through life. // //Students have certain rights, and it is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure that each individual’s rights are upheld. Students have the right to be treated fairly. In order to help students reach their full potential, a teacher must effectively reach every student by differentiating their techniques and teaching methods. Students have the right to be significant contributors to the classroom community. Open-ended questions can guide students to thoughtful answers and can lead to more suggestions from other students. Their suggestions should be valued and used as a tool for learning. A teacher should create an open classroom community, where students understand that a class is a team and must all work together by valuing all suggestions and contributions. Students have the right to make mistakes. The teacher’s responsibility lies in how to help students identify those mistakes and find ways to arrive at success. Solving problems is part of the building blocks of learning. I believe that one of the most important overarching rights that students have is to be respected and trusted. A mutual respect and trust should be shared between teacher and student, student and student as well as between students, teachers and learning. Respect that begins in a classroom will become an esteem that a student will carry through life. Trust is crucial to a student’s learning process; students should trust that others’ opinions and knowledge could add to their own knowledge. // //I believe that literacy should be integrated into all subjects, while also understanding that other subjects should be integrated into literary learning. Students should understand that subjects coincide with one another, and when they reach that understanding, learning has the potential to flourish. In life, there are no specific math, science or reading/writing classes. The love of learning should be instilled in students to influence the longevity of their educational journey. Students should understand that learning is never over, and that it is an adventure that occurs every day. //
