Teachers should learn alongside students.

Problem solving and independence is important to give students

Focus on students' interests, not just following the curriculum. "the curriculum is your students."

We are teaching students how to get better at learning things and how to grow as we learn.

Everyone has the right to an education

Trust is foundational to learning

All students have the capacity to learn

Lessons should be adapted to the student not the other way around

Every student has the right to be taught and supported in order to succeed

Teaching starts with relationship building

Teachers can demonstrate and inspire passion and a curiosity for learning

Belief that students can learn

Respect is earned as a teacher

Teachers should support students' individual learning experiences

Educators should provide an inclusive, welcoming environment for all students

Educators should inspire curiosity and an affinity for learning

Teachers should maintain a positive attitude and outlook

Teachers have a responsibility to their own wellness so as to present the best version of themselves

Teachers should listen to students, and they should have a voice (a collaborative effort between students and teachers).

We are there to advocate for their voices in the classroom.

Teachers need to be adaptive and know that each student has their own learning style and comes from different backgrounds and home lives that affect their motivation to learn.

Sometimes teachers need to step back and try to think of reasons why a student may seem disconnected, rather than drawing immediate assumptions.

Have compassion, give guidance, but encourage creativity and critical thinking.

Balance between passion and professionalism.

Inspire learning, encourage curiosity

Admit when you need extra support, or don't know the answer
