Developing the ability to think is a common thread that ties all levels of education together. As a science teacher I facilitate learning and encourage students to learn by inquiry. I also use realistic experiences and experiments to activate learning in the classroom.
All students are unique.
This means that they are all unique learners. As a teacher I believe that it is my responsibility to address all modalities of learning in order to meet the individual needs of my students. I believe that teachers should use a variety of instructional strategies. In order for students to actually learn they must think in a number of cognitive levels. I refer to Bloom s taxonomy as a guide for learning in my classroom.
