Beliefs regarding education can exhibit considerable divergence. While my perspectives on education may align or contrast with those of others, my fundamental conviction is that education should endeavor to cultivate our youth into active and accomplished contributors to society. This encompasses imparting knowledge and guidance to the youth on engaging as proactive members of society. I do not advocate for a unidimensional approach to instruction in schools; rather, I advocate for a diversity of knowledge dissemination.

Beliefs regarding the content of students' education represent a highly contentious issue. The apprehension of instituting change and the potential for failure serve as significant deterrents to altering the educational content. It is evident that the predominant creators of the curriculum are of a white demographic. I firmly advocate for a shift towards diversity, particularly in contexts where the student body is culturally diverse.

I frequently contemplate student expectations and have realized that I often make assumptions about students' skill sets or background knowledge that may not be accurate. I am actively working on refraining from making assumptions about students, as I understand that each student has a unique knowledge base.

As an educator and a woman, I believe that it's important to acknowledge that beliefs are not fixed and can change over time. Embracing this perspective allows me to remain open-minded and adaptable. I understand that holding onto rigid beliefs can hinder personal growth and development. Therefore, I am committed to continuously evaluating and, if necessary, adjusting my beliefs to ensure that I am always learning and evolving.

The expression of personal beliefs is often discouraged in a classroom setting, but these beliefs can have a significant impact on individuals. Ignoring or failing to acknowledge one's own beliefs can lead to disruption and conflict. It's important to acknowledge and understand the influence of personal beliefs in order to navigate interactions and discussions effectively.

As educators, our personal beliefs play a crucial role in shaping our teaching methods and the overall classroom environment. These beliefs serve as a guiding force, propelling us toward success and inspiring us to give our best to both ourselves and our students. By acknowledging and understanding our own beliefs, we can mitigate any potential negative effects and pave the way for more effective goal achievement.

"Educator's to be underestimate the difficulties involved, but this supports the contention that those planning to teach form definite ideas about the nature of the role."

I chose this note because this was pretty accurate for me. In the beginning I didn't fully know what the education system was all about and now I see things that I may not agree with and think the system can make improvements.

"What is undisputed is beliefs have a motivational

component and play a role in driving behavior." I chose this note because our beliefs are fully driven by things that have happened in our lives and our upbringing.

There was a note I made about teachers and our beliefs and how sometimes what we believe in as humans can shape the way we teach our students. I sort of disagreed with this because I think as teachers we have to be neutral and teach lessons/ materials regardless of our beliefs.

I really liked how the author included information on what to do when beliefs are outdated and gave a guide on what can be done. The last step on the guide was reflecting on the old belief.

I think as a teacher you have to go into teaching with an open mind. Some students may not agree with your lessons or teachings and will not change their mind. I think this is okay because they are their own person and are entitled to their thoguhts and beliefs. I thought the last message was beautiful because students are being taught to have a voice and stand by what they believe in.

Towards the middle of the article it talks about how our beliefs as teachers operate and how they can change. I think this can be accurate as sometimes we work with students or come across situations that may us reflect and change our beliefs/thoughts.

Overall, this article was very interesting to read and did make you reflect as a teacher. It makes you really think deeply and wonder whether or not you're taking into consideration your students beliefs. The article was an eye opener.
