Life Long Learner
I have always loved the challenge of learning. I try to bring this passion in to my classroom each and every day. But, what is it that I have that enables me to value my learning experiences that is lacking in many of my students? I know that offering them choices in their learning has enhanced their experiences and created motivation in my classroom. I have witnessed my students grow, just as I have, over the course of my time at NCSU. However, I have not been able to answer a key piece of my question - do my students value learning? If asked, some would say yes. Others would say they value it more than they did. A few would laugh at me and tell me no. Who am I to determine what is important for them to find value in? I believe that if I continue to strive for success and excellence in my classroom, my few naysayers will eventually admit they at least found value in their experiences while in my class. To me, this is learning.
