1. I believe districts need to view teachers as learners and provide adequate training and time for this training. This will allow teachers to feel confident in front of their students and provide clear direction for students.

2. I believe that all teachers are teachers of reading and writing.

3. I believe all teachers should teach organization, study, and research skills appropriate to their content area.

4. I believe teachers need to model appropriate behavior if they expect this in return.

5. I believe that students have many influences in their lives and need adults who recognize the complex world students live in today.

6. I believe that technology needs to become part of instruction; however teachers first need to make their learning expectations clear for the day and then find a technology tool that facilitates the learning process.

7. I believe professional appearance is important for teachers.

8. I believe students should be challenged. media type="custom" key="19007746"
