I believe education  is student-centered.  Education is

                                                   defined as the knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a

                                                   learning process, with the emphasis being that LEARNING IS

                                                   A PROCESS!!  The term student is not limited to the children

                                                   who sit in our classrooms, but broadened to incorporate the

                                                   teachers who stand before them ready to educate and be

                                                   educated.

                                                        To be a teacher or educator does not mean that I have

                                                   reached the end of my road to learning,  as learning is not a one

                                                   way street.  Instead, it means that I must share the wealth of

                                                   knowledge I have and absorb the wealth of knowledge others

                                                   have to give.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I teach like YELLOW!

 

I teach like  YELLOW!

I teach with enthusiasm,

Hoping to brighten the topic at hand. 

 

I teach like YELLOW!

Turning on the light switch in each child’s mind,

Challenging him/her to think outside of the box.

 

I teach like YELLOW!

Hoping that on any given day

I have made at least one child smile at

And be proud of his or her accomplishments,

Or of something I’ve said or done.

 

I TEACH LIKE YELLOW!

As I ignite the spark of discovery in my students,  I must kindle it in my own practices as well.
