Hello! I liked what you said in your Philosophy! I would suggest increasing the size and depth of it for your use in future classes and interviews. Check out the instruction on Blackboard. Have a great day!

Hey! I really agree with your philosophies for teaching. I also feel that teaching should be more hands on instead of just reading about things. Hands on work is a way to peak the student's interest and make them want to learn even more. I also agree with you when it comes to how to treat each student individually. No two students are the same, and they shouldn't be treated as if they are. They should feel like they all are unique with their own opinions, and should not be afraid to express them. Way to go!

I do agree that education is the realm of relationships! A successful teacher has to be seen by the students as a whole complete human person: being just a skilled instructor in your field won't cut it. Once they know you are real, they pay back in kind - just watch out and enjoy!

I am glad that someone also understand the idea that not all children are exactly the same. Being able to have childern come to you as a mentor is wonderful. To me that is what the education system is all about. We are here to coach the childern towards one common goal. You also realize that childern are not a pile of clay that needs molding, they are already sent to us molded. Us as educators have to send them in the correct direction

Greetings, Thank you for completing a constructive review on the article on NCLB. I thought it was especially helpful that you pasted the entire article and noted needed changes. I noticed that you left the areas of rubric bolded from my example. You indicated your own ratings and explanantion underneath which was very helpful but I thought the bolded remanants might be confusing. Perhaps you could go back and remove the bolding? Thanks for your hard work. Jenniferjkidd (talk) 18:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
