Freedom to Teach

It means that students are taught that they can voice their opinion without being worried about prosecution. It means being able to have discussions with students who feel safe and value their education. Freedom to teach, to me doesn't just mean teaching the curriculum my way, which I do value and appreciate, but that students can value what they learn as well.

It is part of our job description to encourage students to question. As a Science teacher, I aim to teach students to be open minded about theories and generate their own conclusions and beliefs about phenomena based on the evidence they have researched and uncovered themselves.

e. administrators, colleagues, parents , and school

It means being able to decide, as an educated professional, how to best teach and reach my individual students - students who are NOT the same across the board and who need a teacher who knows them to decide what they need.

Together we learn and climb new heights supporting each other.

It means that they are more than a test score on a sheet of paper! They are all individuals with a plan for what comes next, and I have the freedom to help teach and guide them towards the best way to achieve that plan.

It help to provide them with learning that opens their minds to a higher level of thinking. And It helps to encourage them to want to continue learning.

I am able to communicate my ideas or facts so that young minds can appreciate education in the developmental stages of their lives.
