I want to keep a open mind and encourage my students to do the same. Students need to feel responsible for their own learning. This means they need to be actively discovering, experimenting, and hypothesizing for all content areas. If the students have a chance to discover for themselves rather than being lectured to, they will be more involved and interested in the learning process. This will intern help them retain the information.
Educators often get in the routine of relying in curriculum and course guides far too much.
I want to use alternative ways to teach the content which will involve the students more in their learning. I will incorporate a minds-on approach into my teaching. I want to inspire students and encourage them to become the individuals they are.
