~What is like to be an inspiring teacher that you always want to be?

“I have learned that, although I am a good teacher, I am a much better student, and I was blessed to learn valuable lessons from my students on daily basis. They taught me the importance of teaching to a student and not to a test.” ~ Erin Gruwell~This is one of my favorite quote as an educator. This is the meaning of inspiring teacher and the nobility of being in a teaching profession.

  1. . Treat teaching as a noble profession.
  2. Embrace all students and promote growth mindset.
  3. Establish strong teaching philosophy that advocates the importance of equality, justice, and sense of belonging.
  4. Remember that choosing a teaching career means that your service is ending illiteracy step by step.
