I sigh and look in disbelief as our society deals with so much negativity that is cast by it's own hand. Learning is important to our success and that is why I feel so strongly about education. I feel it is necessary for a person who considers becoming an educator to think about the decisions they will be making. Their concept of what teaching is, should also be a priority. That person should also ask themself what learning is to them because that is an important aspect to becoming a leader in education.
Teachers are leaders and role models to the kids that they come in contact with.
I see it necessary for myself as an individual to believe in what I am striving for. The definition of teaching to me is to be an effective example to my students, not only as their instructor but also as a person. I also believe in open-ended conversations with my students so that I can learn from them. It is in order to open windows of opportunity for myself so that I may also achieve new ideas. I want to know that my students have a goal in life and for them to be able to learn as much as they can while they are attending school.
