My future teaching platform

In the article, "We got this forward Part 1", it talked about how you would define yourself as a teacher and how similar yet different we are from superheros. A few quotes from that article that I wanted to help me define myself as a teacher would b:

- the histories that we chose to tell regulate our imagination for the futures that we aspire to build

- we are allowed to fail, reflect, improve, and try again.

- will great power becomes great responsibility.

- there is no quick path to success

purpose of schooling

- to give students equal opportunities to thrive

- develop my students into healthy, confident, and passionate humans

- show a loving environment and excitement towards learning

nature and substance of student work

- I think students should be able to think creatively

- they should work together to solve problems

- students should have enough freedom to develop their own opinions

- they should learn by doing and trying not only through lecturing

image of a teacher

- always positive

- a mentor and a leader

- passionate for the subject and the students

- high expectations for the students

image of the curriculum

- critical thinking

- asking them to be creative

- not limiting their goals

- curriculum should be an outline of basic information, not orders

- working in groups and being able to socialize

preferred pedagogy

- some student led discussions

- working one on one with the teacher

- less discipline and more creativity, limiting children's creativity can lead them to be less open minded and willing to except new ideas from different perspectives

preferred school climate

- golden rule

- start with high standards

- treating people fairly doesn't necessarily mean every child gets the exact same thing

- communicate problems or troubles

- always be positive and show you are passionate

- support change
