I teach to give my students the tools and skills they
will need in order to be successful in whatever path they follow.
I will foster a culture of error that will help my
students gain confidence and view mistakes and struggles in a positive light in order to develop the problem-solving skills to overcome them. o To do this, I will encourage discussions about both right and wrong answers to investigate the merits of each and explore multiples ways of approaching the same problem. I will create an environment where each student can feel comfortable and valued and become an active participant. o To do this, I will get to know my students individually and help them get to know each other through conversation and activities, and take the time to listen and respond to their comments and questions. I will emphasize a growth mindset and encourage students to become self-advocates for their own futures. o To do this, I will provide tutoring times for students to
get academic help, resources for them to keep track of
their assignments and grades, and opportunities for them to improve and progress, and hold them accountable for their own achievement.
