This means I believe I have the responsibility to make the curriculum be meaningful to the student. Therefore, the excitement of learning and mastering tasks is an important element of this classroom. I must be approachable while using a variety of instructional methods. Progressive techniques such as cooperative learning, self-inventory vocabulary, and written assignments are incorporated as well as the more traditional didactic lecture. I find it essential that I am comfortable with the nontraditional learning strategies that are incorporated into my classroom.
Homework is important as well as active participation in the classroom.
The student is held responsible for wanting to learn. They are expected to work hard. I expect to lead, guide, and facilitate the learning of the student. It is my goal to be a positive influence in student learning.
