My goal as a teacher is to inspire, mold, and cultivate. I want to inspire my students to be active members in their own lives. This means that they know what they want for themselves and will not tolerate other people trying to control their lives. It is my philosophy that we are given one life and it should not be wasted living a life that someone planned for you.
This is really awesome and everyone should see this at som epoint in their lives...
Also, I want to cultivate a love of reading and discovery. Too many times I have had teachers who assign the reading and teach it in a way that made me not enjoy reading. I want to teach my students to be curious people who seek out answers for themselves, rather than for the class. I will do this by urging students to ask open-ended questions and to question everything. Thinking out loud is completely acceptable in my classroom, ignorance is not.
Students will be asked to think critically and analytically, to not only interpret the reading, but it's connections to their lives and the lives of others. We will study unconventional material side-by-side with the required texts to inspire the students to think beyond the the norm. My hope is that students will come to love learning and will carry that love for the rest of their lives.
This is really awesome and everyone should see this at som epoint in their lives...
