I've been using this quote for a while and I think it helps to sum up part of my style of teaching:

// **“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”** // //-////William Arthur Ward//

I would like to be the type of teacher that can help any student achieve, this will definitely call on my creative side and a side that is able to understand how each of my children learn and to adapt my lessons so that kids are included, learning, and having fun. I distinctly remember teachers from Elementary school because of these reasons and I would to do that for my students. I think getting to know my students and families on an individual basis is also important. Being a part of the Elementary world it's important to get those building blocks of learning set up so that kids can be inspired, challenged, and motivated to continue on through school. It's important to instill a sense of autonomy, self pride, and a continued interest in learning.
