Instruction is best when motivated by relevancy.
I cannot think of a better way to make material relevant to students than by showing them how the material is relevant to their community. There are an abundance of resources available in a school s community. I hope to use the community s resources to impact the curriculum in my class. By getting students involved in their community, one helps students to see how they can make an impact on their world. Helping students learn to value their community and the opportunities it provides, is one goal of mine as an educator.
