The environment should provide positive social interaction and promote creative independence. The classroom should be organized, efficient, print-rich, and adapted to the needs of all students. To be a successful teacher one must be inviting, facilitating, patient, creative, responsible, hard working, dedicated, loving, cheerful, understanding, observant, organized, trustworthy, and respectful. A teacher must also be a positive role model, easy to communicate with, and responsive to problems. A teacher should also challenge each child while carrying high expectations for them and truly believing that each child can achieve success inside and o utside the classroom.
Children are a bundle of small miracles waiting to happen.
As a teacher one gets to witness and encourage each and everyone of those miracles with a sense of pride and contribution. Teaching is a very special gift.
