Teachers must be leaders who, in order to take responsibility for student learning, must: use a variety of student assessment methods, create a safe learning environment, and reflect on teaching practices to improve student learning. As a future educator, I believe that every student is unique. Each student has a background, a story, and needs that need to be met. My goal is to truly know my students and to meet their needs. I want my students to learn in an classroom environment that is safe and that allows each student to do their best. Every student has the potential for their learning to grow. As an future educator I will help my students to be their very best.
