Teachers have become facilitators

Submitted by Shari Kuehl (not verified) on March 2, 2008 - 08:48.

My name is Shari Kuehl and I am a fourth grade teacher in Lena, IL. I am currently in a masters program and ultimately I would like to teach teachers in undergraduate programs that are entering the education field.

First, teachers should see themselves as facilitators. Facilitating the needs for the standards set up by their current situation and the needs of their students. Make these two worlds connect. Second, it is give and take. We both learn from each other. Third, it is appropriate to not have all the answers, but to be able to demonstrate the process to finding the answers. Finally, always be aware of the human spirit that lives and needs in ALL people you have contact with.
