Teaching
Statement
Given
the right circumstances and instruction, every child can learn.
As
a teacher, I am a facilitator of the learning
process. It
is my job and
duty to find and use Best Practice methodology as it applies to
each
student's unique situation.
As a teacher, I orchestrate
the learning
process. I define the starting and ending points and the
time-line, along
with the
numerous and different modes of learning available.
I also
provide a model of passion to follow. I then give each
student
his or her
choice within certain parameters about how they are going to
progress from
point A to point B. I closely monitor
each student's
progress and coach
them along the way. I offer advice and encouragement and
intervene when
it is needed.
This practice requires that a number of
procedures and
routines must be in place. I must make personal sacrifices
in
preparing
this journey for my students, but their success is well worth
it. |
