I believe that students who learn best are those that enjoy what they are doing and have confidence in themselves. A teacher's most important job is creating a learning atmosphere that engages the students mind and feeds their souls. A successful teacher knows how to instill confidence and passion for learning into his/her students.

Building a child’s self-esteem through praise, continued support and responsibility are important factors that I use in my classroom daily. The successful teacher should keep variety in the classroom by offering different types of learning activities. Whether the activities are hands-on, group work, or direct-based learning, students should have the opportunity to experience a mode of different teaching techniques.

As a teacher I seek to gain rapport and respect from my students, and in turn I offer an environment that is nurturing, stimulating and full of respect for them. In my teaching career, I have learned that all students can blossom when their teacher supports them and challenges them. I believe that helping students to relate what they are learning in the classroom and how it can be used in the real world is essential.

Most importantly I have learned that student and teacher learning go hand in hand. I have learned so much from my students, and from them I am constantly learning more about the world in which we live. A well-educated child is the result of a strong collaboration between the instructional team, students, parents, and community volunteers. “It takes a village to raise a child.” As a teacher, I provide the support and learning environment for them to be able to lifelong learners.

Life is never easy, but when we are educated and know someone believes in us, we can be at our best.
