I think the purpose of education is to set students up for success in the future. This means not only ensuring they learn the content they need to know, but also skills they can apply outside of school and social/emotional abilities.

The role of a teacher is to support students along whatever path they choose for themselves. (This is a bit more applicable to high school teachers because of the phase of life the students are in.)

The purpose of education is to teach children how to think critically not just about the curriculum, but also the world. Education shapes the mind of students to become decent members of society and encourage them to become leaders or whoever they want to be. Education promotes leadership, focus, motivation, and the power of knowledge.

Students often are "following the herd" and just doing the minimum. Students should be encouraged to try new things and take risks. Students should be lifted instead of being put down by teachers. You see this a lot in high school. Students want to do a lot and have the power to do so much more. They have the power to change the world and do anything but often I feel like schools tend to let students go so far. The sky is the limit yet students are not encouraged and are limited. Students too often do not realize their potential. Students will only go as far as they are permitted and who they surround themselves with.

The purpose of education is to teach children how to do think for themselves so that way when they get older they are prepared to do for themselves going into the middle school stage of their lives.

When it comes to school, I personally think students should only have to worry about learning. They should be able to come to school knowing that they are in a supportive and safe environment where they can grow their knowledge.

The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator of learning for the students. To challenge students in order for them to achieve their highest potential. To support students by figuring out the type of learner they are and applying those teaching methods best suited for them.

A majority of people probably have come to the conclusion that the role of a teacher is to teach students a new skill. In reality, the role of a teacher goes beyond that it can consist of being an: evaluator, verifier, consultant, being a record keeper, being a course designer, working with other teachers and being a personal tutor. However, I believe that my role as a teacher is like being a fulltime parent to 20 or so children. When a student gets hurt, we rush to their aid to make sure that they are okay. Just like any parent would do.

Ideally, parents would assume an active role in their child's education. However, as we know, this isn't always the case. Regardless, students should be able to rely on a community to support their learning career, even if the parents aren't able to be a part of it.

The purpose of education is to teach skills and values that will help students achieve their academic goals throughout all of their education including after highschool.

I believe students learn best when you treat them as young adults and not like kids. I have always learned by a teacher explaining the material to me and then by showing me examples of how to do what it is they are asking of me. I have always felt that when my teachers showed their personality their humorous side their own personal experiences they are not a robot just saying here is the material now do what I am asking, so I can collect my check and go home. They show that they are human beings just like the rest of us. The best teacher shows you step by step how to do a problem and they sit patiently by your side to make sure that you understand what you are learning. If you still do not understand the material, they engage you in fun learning activities in hopes that the other students might be able to show you differently.

I believe that it truly does take an entire village to raise one child. I also believe that a parent and the community around a child are the most influential people in a students life. If a child sees that the adults in their lives are walking around defeated than they will probably grow up thinking in the same nature. I cannot stress enough how important it is to be actively involved in a child’s life and in their school life. Parents should not just tell a child, “go do your homework” a parent should sit down with them and let them ask you questions being actively involved in a child’s life is the best thing a parent, a community or a teacher can do for the students around them.

Keeping the family and community involved in students education allows students to feel safe and supported. Good communication and relationships amongst everyone helps maximize students chances of success.

How might individual teachers, and even entire schools, work to build partnerships with families and the community? What sort of relationship might we create if we spend time asking parents and community members how we can help them, and serve them better, instead of telling them what we want them to have or do? What can be done to create greater reciprocity in schools between teachers and families?

Building strong relationships between families, communities and schools. To understand the many different ways that families participate and support their students. To build connections between the classroom and the things that students are learning and the community.

Too often families and communities need so much support that they forget about education and students. A strong relationship with communities and families must be established within education in order for students to succeed. Since students often do no realize their potential and only go as far as they are permitted, establishing strong communities and families will change that. Students will only go as far as communities and families allow them to go. Forming a strong bond with families within communities will encourage students to achieve whatever they set their minds to.
