I BELIEVE

MY GOAL: My goal is to continue to add and create new "I Believe" statements throughout my journey.

I BELIEVE...

  • In diversity
  • In professionalism and enthusiasm
  • In use of different methods to grab attention
  • In inclusivity
  • In hands on Learning 
  • In integrated technology 
  • In working together 
  • In learning more than what I don't know
  • In challenging others and yourself
  • In stepping out of your comfort zone
  • In being active participants
  • In inquiry 
  • In questioning
  • In safe spaces 

My "I believe" statements are apart of my morals and values. The need for students to be placed in diverse, inclusive, integrated classrooms are essential for students to grow and shape themselves into holders of the future. Their futures in the hands of our classrooms and teaching, our professionalism, enthusiasm, challenges and safe spaces socializing them into who they are meant to be. Leaving our comfort zones and working amongst each other to be active participants in inquiry and questioning. These are essential to a classroom of prosperity.


TAKEN FROM CLASS LECTURES
We believe that students learn best:
  • When they believe they can learn
  • In different ways and at different rates
  • When the classroom and school environment supports their emotional, social, cultural and educational needs
  • When the learning is authentic (ie. involves real world problems)
  • When they feel respected
  • When there is a positive relationship between teacher and student
  • When teachers provide explicit feedback designed to reduce the gap between a student's current and a higher level of understanding
​
We believe that as teachers we must:
  • Believe all children can learn
  • Display enthusiasm and passion for what we teach
  • Work together as a professional learning community intent on improving students' achievements
  • Set achievable but challenging class tasks
  • Provide differentiated learning activities
  • Provide a quality classroom environment in which all students feel valued and respected by the teacher and by fellow students
  • Work hard to develop positive relationships with all students
  • Maintain high expectations of our students
  • Plan explicit teaching activities that stimulate students' interest
  • Provide explicit feedback that helps students move from their current to a higher level of understanding
  • Keep learning
