Like others here have mentioned, modeling, mentoring, and monitoring are essential for our students to succeed. My students don’t just learn from what I say, but from what I do as well. It’s important for me to model the behaviors and attitudes I want to see in them. Mentoring plays a huge role in the classroom—repetition and offering different viewpoints help students truly grasp concepts. By monitoring their progress on projects, I’m able to ensure no one falls behind. Being present for students, even outside of class, shows them that we care and are invested in their success.
My stand in life is to "make a difference in people's lives and have an impact on the world." I strive to do that with every interaction with my students. When we model, mentor, and monitor, we create an environment where students feel supported and motivated to reach their goals in life.
