We, as teachers, will have the opportunity to be influential role models to our students. We will have the privilege of teaching important information beyond just the curriculum.

When a teacher proves they care for their students, they often earn respect and trust. This theme of caring for a student beyond just their academic progress has come up repeatedly during our foundations class, reminding us how intentional and involved a teacher should be.

Many times, hands-on learning is crucial for students' understanding. Especially with elementary-aged students, involvement and participation are significantly important.

I was introduced to https://t.co/j7rYlgwsNi today, which allows users to create animated, artistic presentations. I hope to use https://t.co/j7rYlgwsNi in the future to enhance class!

As Carol Boyer reflects on her beginning as a teacher in the book Today I Made a Difference, she mentions, "For the first few weeks, I struggled to teach normal lessons, but I quickly realized that I was learning more than they were" (49).

Learning is so reciprocal!
