I Believe...

I believe that along with an adults influence in the home, that a teacher is an extremely important part in a child's life. A teacher should be one who strives to help each individual student arrive at completing the necessary tasks. Some children learn in ways that others cannot, and I would hope that I could find a way in which to help everyone. I believe that no matter who the student, or what their background is, that everyone should be treated fair, and with respect, because everyone is unique in their own way. A student should feel comfortable in their atmosphere, in a way that they do not feel stupid or ashamed to ask a question in class. For me, knowing that a student feels comfortable, means I have done well as a teacher. I want children to grow and become independant people in the world, and people grow by learning from their mistakes. As a teacher I would want the atmosphere to be entertaining, and enjoyable, but to remain on task. Most of all, I want the students to have fun and I would be happy to see their smiling faces in the classroom.
