I believe, a good teacher has passion about his/her students and being the best teacher takes constant reflection and dedication. As an Exceptional Education teacher, I know that not all days run flawlessly. I truly believe that every day is a new day, with a fresh slate, and that we learn from the reflection from the previous day. I believe that the key to success with my students is building a strong relationship fostering trust and acceptance so that they will take risks in the classroom. I believe that students learn best by "doing" or being actively engaged with concepts being taught.
