Principles for Practice:

• I will always try to get my students to pursue learning on their own.  I will try to incorporate students’ ideas and comments in the classroom.  I want to encourage my students to question the learning process.
• I will have goals for my classroom and work as hard as possible to achieve them.  I will have students assess their own goals and I will help them achieve them.  I will always have a set syllabus, even if I stray from it.  
• I will try to bring everyone into classroom discussions and activities.  I will work to get the shy and troubled kids involved as much as possible.  I will try to be cognizant of language barriers to my students. 
• I will teach my students at a level congruent with their comprehension, while still presenting a challenging curriculum.  I will attempt to use their developmental status to gauge how and what I instruct them so that learning will be most beneficial to all. 
• I will be open to new and innovative ideas.  I will allow my students to explore their creative talents and grow as students and people.
• I will foster the best learning environment for my students that I possibly can.  I will set and keep a set of rules for classroom management.
