This quote was on the cover a journal I just received to write all my thoughts, ideas, hopes, worries, and dreams in. I thought it was a fitting way to start my last post. Writing this blog has been a fun and creative outlet. But this isn't really the outlet that I chose to do my writing in. I have found this to be an easy way to share my thoughts and ideas on particular topics such as literacy issues for diverse learners. It has been an effective way to see other ideas or issues that my classmates have been having with the class. However, when it comes to writing I'm usually more personal and don't like to share with just anyone on the internet. I can see the purpose of a blog and how it can be a useful tool to expand on information and share with a real audience. If I have students that will benefit from blogging I'll be sure to do it. And if I'm ever a college professor it seems to be a very effective way of sharing your own ideas with your students.
I will never get in the way of my students success. This means I will not limit their creativity. I will never give up on my students. Even if my student doesn't want to try I have to help them find ways to succeed. Every person is unique and therefore is entitled to a learning environment which promotes that individualism while promoting community. (Which I'm sure is easier said then done.) But it is my goal to be the best teacher I can be which means striving to think outside the box while providing students with real, meaningful learning experiences. It is important to find the spark in every child.
Remember to follow your dreams and go live the life you've always imagined.
