Freedom.

To teach is so important. Not every child learns the same and teaches are the innovators that help three students learn. It should never be about a state or federal test. The teachers I learned and loved three most were some of my funniest classes and I learned a ton. They weren't easy, but it gave me perspective. Teachers are teaching in challenging times and it is hard to stand and teach when several don't want to be there. If a teacher had more rights over his/her clayton

When I think of freedom, I am reminded of the various battles that one has to endure in order to be able to gain the rights afforded them.

As an educator, I am blessed to have the freedom to expose my students to material that aligns with grade level standards as well as content that will educate the whole child. Teaching with freedom helps the educator to see the child as individuals and meet them where they are. As a special educator, I love the opportunity help students as being their life line, encourager, coach, and support system. Students sometimes feel as though their "label" is a death sentence. Having the freedom to teach allows me to change that narrative from death to life!

Freedom to teach means that I have the freedom to do what is best for each student without political repercussions to my career because of whose child is on the board or because I am willing to stand up for what is right when administration will not.

I feel that freedom to teach means that I have the freedom to do what is right for my students at all costs but yet that will never come with the fear of a cost to my career.
