The purpose of education is to provide our children with knowledge to be successful in their lives. It is our responsibility, along with the community and guardians of these children, to present them with this knowledge and make sure that they can apply it to their everyday lives. I also believe that with every new day, there is new information to learn, not only for the students, but also for the teachers. Theories are constantly evolving and new evidence to support them is found each and everyday. Teachers have to be willing to adapt to the changing information, to provide the students with valid information.
Education is first and foremost for our students.
We as teachers have to be willing to open ourselves up to new ideas and grow as educators. We should constantly be evaluating ourselves to make sure that the techniques we are using are effective.
