Welcome to Wikibooks, Eschm001!

Hi Elizabeth,
I enjoyed reading your teaching philosophy. I know you said you're still forming it, something I'm sure we'll all be doing throughout the teaching program and our careers, but I think you have an impressive start!

I agree with maintaining an open mind as a teacher and enforcing tolerance and appreciation for differences. I believe our students will take cues from us as teachers and anything we can do to set a positive and tolerant example is helpful.

I also agree with the need for continuing education among teachers. We need to stay abreast of new material we can use in our classes and new technologies to implement. Keeping things fresh is one way to keep interest among students.

I'm interested in learning more about the "power teaching" method you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!

Hi Betsy!
That is a great pic! That must have been an amazing trip! Congratulations on all your degrees...it sounds like you are going to be the epitome of a lifelong learner. I commend you on wanting to continue that throughout your teaching career. What made you choose to teach, or have you always known you wanted to do that? Also, considering your personality and learning specialties in psychology and such, is there any type of program your would especially want to participate in at a school where you teach, or a program that you want to start?
