Teaching Philosophy: As a teacher, you must always remember that your students are just kids and that they deserve a quality education no matter the circumstances.

Teaching Tips: I think it is extremely important for teachers to establish procedures (entering/exiting the room, seating chart, turning in classwork, asking questions, etc) and classroom management from the first day of class. It is also critical to use all resources available especially other teachers to assist with lesson planning and any other logistical issues. I would also encourage teachers to try to get involved in extracurricular school activities so you can get to know you kids outside of the classroom. (I have found that volunteering as an assistant soccer coach at my high school is a great way to get to know the kids and be involved in the school and community.)
