I think that as an educator it is important to remember that ALL students can learn and succeed and that's what I want to make known in my classroom.]]> 2018-08-27 23:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/275715587 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/277203021 I believe that learning is first and foremost is something that builds on prior knowledge, where one's knowledge is a scaffold that supports future learning. It is also being able to repeat the information back and fully grasp what is being taught. Also, learning can take place everywhere and not only a classroom. Also, for learning to take place, a teacher doesn't always have to be present, learning can be from other classmates, other staff, other people in the students' lives.]]> 2018-09-03 01:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/277203021 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/282642375 I believe that teaching is not just a career. It is a passion. Teaching is making a difference in kids' lives and being the safe haven and constant that they can always rely on regardless of how other things are going. Teaching is helping ALL students succeed.]]> 2018-09-17 23:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/282642375 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/285311722 I believe the purpose of schooling is to provide the fullest measurement of learning possible; character, morally, and productively in a society. I think the purpose of schooling also is to open the minds of students and get them prepared for their future.]]> 2018-09-25 02:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/285311722 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/287226315 I believe my future students are ones that will be loved and cared for. At the end of the day, if they aren't learning anything else, I hope they walk out of my classroom knowing what kindness, fairness, and respect is. All of my future students will know they are ALL learners and smart also. I don't want anyone to feel under valued in my classroom.]]> 2018-09-29 15:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/287226315 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/290037073 I believe students learn best when they are comfortable in the learning environment. They learn best when the teacher makes it a safe space for learning and asking questions.]]> 2018-10-07 15:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/290037073 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/297836720 I believe my students will learn best when I accommodate to their learning styles. I think when I give them a safe space for them to share their thoughts and ask the questions that they might have is when my students will learn best in my classroom.]]> 2018-10-29 00:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/297836720 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/300641787 I believe that family/community is essentially the same thing. I know in the community I come from, we all knew each other and thought of each other as family. Unfortunately, this is not the case for everywhere but I think that in order to make a community you need family somewhere along the lines in there.]]> 2018-11-05 18:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/300641787 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/304070528 I believe collaboration in a classroom is working together with the students and communicating things so that the students have the best learning environment possible. I think this type of learning is a fun and energetic escape from the usual style of sitting in a chair and learning while the teacher speaks. ]]> 2018-11-13 23:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/304070528 kayrwatterson https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/307595895 I believe that being a teacher activist refers to those who try to provide social justice in public education in a worldwide scale challenging all kinds of social priorities. By definition of a teacher, teaching is without doubt their activism, though they are obliged to follow a certain curriculum which to them may not be sufficient enough to improve the cultural level of the learners.]]> 2018-11-26 01:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kayrwatterson/om4s0m2hjkxt/wish/307595895
