It has been over ten years from the day I decided I wanted to teach.  The motivating thought for this action was; how can I give back to this culture?  I hold a clear vision and goal of opening minds to teach.  This is the basis and the reason why I want to teach.  Today forward, what is taught and learned by our children is the foundation for tomorrows leaders.

Life is active and all experiences serve to teach some lesson and only two result: they are be positive experiences, adding fulfillment to life, or negative experiences that take away from life's fulfillment.  My teaching objective is to create the learning experience that teaches the student to ask the question, "What is the next right thing to do?"  

The reason to design learning activities that build on a students prior knowledge, skill strengths and experiences are that lessons are more easily learned.  Teaching what is familiar is more easily understood and mastered.  Then what is learned and practiced will strengthen a life that seeks to contribute.  We try to Teach and support educational growth for good.  Positive Teaching is how a human learns to give back to society.

So, my belief is that the responsibility of teachers is to provide all students with positive choices in what they are learning so they can choose the level they desire to learn.
