What are your thoughts on teaching?
Teaching is a gift and a wonderful opportunity to develop relationships with students who are at a critical point in their lives. The classroom should be a place where students have the opportunity to ask questions, challenge and pose new ideas, and develop critical thinking to make connections between the content and their daily lives.
