It means having the resources and administrative support necessary to fulfill that calling.
Freedom to teach is freedom to focus on teaching students rather than fighting the unending disruptions. To me, freedom to teach is about meeting needs and not teaching to a test.
Thank you so much for sharing, Ashley!
It means being given the opportunity to teach and reteach as needed and allowing the time necessary to make sure every student receives a high quality education. It also means that we are open to constructed criticism and suggestions that will build up my confidence to continue in my effort in being successful with every objective being taught. It means I can be open and honest with my students to create relationships that will strengthen the communication in the classroom along with developing a safe community that students trust and feel comfortable every day they are in our classroom. Lastly, it means going beyond the boundaries of reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is teaching coping and life skills that will be planted in each student in hopes that it will continue to be watered and grow so that when it is needed, that tool will be readily available for each student to use. I. LOVE. MY. JOB!
Your love for your job shines through in your post! Thank you for sharing!

In so doing, I will utilize the 21st Century teaching strategies so as to equip students with the skills needed to function effectively in our evolving society.
I really like that idea. The future of work and society is constantly changing, and its important that teachers equip the students with the necessary skills to be able to handle that change. Thank you!

It means having an access to all possible opportunities for a teacher to educate minds ,not because of state tests or of school directives.It is all about nurturing the holistic development of the students, guided and supported by a high level of positive parental involvement and school administrative support.
Great point on the importance of nurturing holistic development! Thanks for sharing!

Freedom to teach means being able to use and apply what we know works for students. It means being able to teach and facilitate in the way the each student learns best. It means being able to use our creativity to engage students and develop their passion for learning. It means being able to go home to our own families and feel like the professionals we are and know that we did important work that will DEFINITELY lead to success.
Freedom to teach means be respected as a professional and understanding that I know what is best for my students. As a resource specialist, it is very important to understand that all students are different. In order to meet their needs, we have to be free to differentiate instruction, provide interventions and make each lesson work for them!
Freedom to teach means no restraints or hindrances to the profession of teaching. Scholars should feel safe about learning in all aspects and teachers should feel the freedom of teaching about life and not only about certain curricula. As a life long learner, I feel we should and can always learn. There are so many avenues of education and as teachers we should be using all of them. Media plays a heavy part in teaching in this century and to this generation. Children learn differently as adults do and we cannot limit or hinder their learning in any way.
