I believe the school and community must work together to ensure the best possible education for each student. School is an excellent place to help mold active and responsible community members; however, this is possible only if positive relationships are developed among the teachers, parents, community members, other professionals and especially, the students. In my own classroom, my goal is to initiate and maintain constructive relationships and open dialogue with each player involved in the educational process.
In my classroom, my goal is to provide a fun learning environment, while requiring respect and participation from everyone. My students describe me as a passionate, approachable teacher, who cares about the success of all students. They describe my classroom as an environment where classroom expectations are always clearly communicated and everyone is encouraged to ask questions without fear of criticism or embarrassment. Additionally, my students would point out that they are held accountable during discussions and activities, as my questioning techniques require active engagement. I firmly believe that this type of environment is critical to students truly comprehending the material and achieving academic success.
