I believe as a teacher it is my responsibility to guide students towards success. Success is measured differently from student to student- each student can experience success in their own rights. 

I believe it is a student’s right to have an open and safe learning environment, one that is clear of judgement and disrespect. As a teacher it is my responsibility to provide that space for all of my students.

I believe all students are creative individuals and they deserve constructive and timely feedback on a regular basis in order to further their learning. It is a teacher’s responsibility to provide that feedback in a manner that will empower students’ thoughts.

I believe all students are entitled to a lesson that meets their unique learning needs and styles. As a teacher it is my responsibility to understand the needs of each student and redirect my teaching to cater to each student’s style. All students have the ability to learn if they are given the proper opportunity. 

I believe that parents are key in their child’s learning but over involvement can also push a child away from learning. There is a fine line between too much and not enough parental participation in a student’s learning, it is my responsibility to guide parents in their child's education.
