Using my beliefs, I am able to be a strong role model for my students. A s a teacher in today's society, I believe in taking an active role in my students' education.
Active teachers create active learners.
My enthusiasm and motivation to teach stem from positive role models who took an active part in my life. I am fortunate to be surrounded by concerned, connected, and caring colleagues, friends, and family who consistently challenge me to learn. It is my responsibility as a teacher to foster and transfer my enthusiasm and positive influences into the lives of my students. M y strengths as an educator are not only presenting the curriculum in such a way as to help my students understand its content, but also working extremely hard to instill in my students the desire to learn, the ability to question why, and the knowledge of how to use available resources to answer these questions. When teachers explain exactly what students are expected to learn and demonstrate the steps needed to accomplish a particular academic task, students learn more.
