I believe passionately in the potential of all young people and that teaching English will enable them to develop as informed, socially aware members of our society. I employ interesting, relevant and dynamic techniques to ensure that lessons are stimulating, exciting and challenging. There are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day." Every classroom has its own unique community; my role as the teacher will be to assist each child in developing their own potential and learning styles. I will present a curriculum that will incorporate each different learning style, as well as make the content relevant to the student's lives.
