Instruction needs to be fun, memorable, and authentic. Both gifted and talented and special education students should have opportunities to learn in the classroom. It is essential to create a community of learners and to assure an appropriate educational environment for all types of students. Teachers have many responsibilities to colleagues, parents, and communities to create a community of learners. Teachers need close contact with parents on important issues.
Newsletters are a good way to keep parents informed.
Parents should be contacted about discipline and about positive student behavior. The classroom should be open to the community. School should be a place where students learn. My philosophy of teaching shows school as a creative environment for teachers, students, parents, and others to learn and discover. I know that I want to become a teacher to help others.
