I believe community/family is… a key factor in the classroom because it is what as has educated and continues to educate students within the classroom. By including students community/family with what you are trying to teach, you are welcoming the students dialogue and their funds of knowledge. I believe that if you aren`t willing to learn about the community and families of your students you aren`t taking into count factors that affect how they understand and see the world.

I believe my students will learn best when I…
support their social and educational needs. I believe that students are not stimulated with the work does not allow them to create their own understanding without a fear of being wrong. I believe that students need to be able to discuss what is happening in and out of the classroom to help build their funds of knowledge and make powerful connections.

I believe students learn best when they… are taught information that is relevant to their lives and communities outside of school. I believe students learn best when their thinking and ideas are supported when shared aloud. For students to learn, I think that they have to avoid seeing teachers as "banks of knowledge" and should be able to develop their own understanding. This will happen from from the teaching asking students certain questions in response to develop student`s thinking.

I believe all my future students are… individuals capable of achieving greatness based of knowledge they come to school with. I believe every child is capable of meeting their potential based on the interactions that they have in the classroom. I believe that is my job to allow students to see themselves as someone who is able to educate me as much as i educate them.

I believe the purpose of schooling is… to give every person a safe place to creating and have a meaningful learning experience. Schooling serves the purpose of giving each student a seed of knowledge that is capable of growing when nurtured. The purpose of schooling is to motivate excellence through understanding differences and overcoming intellectual diversity.

I believe that teaching… should surround the community that students live in, as well as show flexibility to each of the students you are working with. I believe that teaching should be relevant for every child because I know that they do not all the learn the same. I believe that teaching is a job that may not get "thank you`s" but is a job that can make so many difference for the lives that you impact on students as well as yourself.

I believe that learning… should be an equal opportunity for all students, no matter if they are rich or poor. I believe that learning should be based on the Common-School Model, although I wonder how the differences in the lives of students outside would affect their education when they're in the classroom. For me, my personal belief is that all students have the ability to succeed regardless of socioeconomic status or other possible factors.
