What I Believe:
I believe it is important that every student has an
opportunity to learn. My classroom will
take into account students’ different backgrounds and learning styles. I will use as much technology in my classroom
as possible. I will also try to motivate
my students to do their best by letting them know I care about them and believe
they can all be successful.
How I
Plan to Teach:
My classroom, by keeping in mind different learning styles,
will consist of small group activities and remedial activities. In small groups, students will do
simulations, research projects, and discussions. I will also have my students do individual
assignments to help them improve their skills and understanding. I will teach in a way that best meets the
abilities and needs of my students.
