My Education Manifesto
I will uphold the idea that a classroom should promote the optimal learning
experience for all students. I will be flexible regarding my classroom planning to
allow for assignments and topics that will fit best for the students at hand. I will
remember that all students are different with different walks of life.
I will teach and structure my classroom in a way that will allow for all students to
feel included and heard. I will find tactics that allow the opportunity for all
students to make contributions to classroom discussions whether that be through
techniques using a tally sheet or pulling popsicle sticks.
I will promote activities aimed for students to dive deeper into the exploration of
who they are and hope to be. I will encourage them as they seek out their
ever-changing identities in a safe place. I will encourage students to make
connections with others based on their similarities and differences and learn
more about the attributes that make us all individually unique. I will allow
students to also make connections and learn about my own sense of self when
appropriate.
I will remember that sometimes, some of life’s best lessons are ones taught
unexpectedly. In scenarios I will try to value that there can always be a teachable
moment. If there is an incident, especially within a classroom discussion, that I
feel can be resolved on its own, I will let things occur naturally and then address
the situation. I will uphold the idea that vulnerability and truth are beautiful
things in life that can teach such memorable lessons. These lessons could be
major takeaways for students as they gain knowledge on how to be better peers to
one another.
