Haters.
I do my job very well, am highly qualified, and certified in three different areas. I follow the law when I teach and am proud to have experience in three different education settings, rural, sub-urban, an urban. I pride myself on making an impact on the way my students view learning, so that when they leave me, they carry on with skills that allow them to teach themselves. Above all, when my students enter my classroom, they feel safe, respected, and important, each and everyone.
Here are some quotes I teach by:
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
-- Aristotle
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
-- Albert Einstein
You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
-- Clay P. Bedford
What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.
-- Confucius
