Introduction

What makes a teacher? Teaching is like a salad. Think about it.

If you were to attend a party for any given holiday, the number of
and variations to each salad recipe that might be present for
consumption could outnumber those present at the party. There
are so many different ways to teach, varying circumstances to
take into account, and philosophies to apply to each classroom.
And what better way to have a positive impact on the world than
to offer knowledge for consumption? The term teacher can be
applied to anyone who imparts knowledge of any topic, but it is
generally more focused on those who are hired to do so (teach,
n.d., n.p.). In imparting knowledge to our students, it is inevitable
that we must take into account our own personal philosophies, or
pedagogies, and determine not only how we decide what our
philosophies are, but also how those impact our consumers.
