A Teacher's Prayer...
Lord,
Enable me to teach with WISDOM, for I help to shape the mind.
Equip me to teach with TRUTH, for I help to shape the conscience.
Encourage me to teach with VISION, for I help to shape the future.
Empower me to teach with LOVE, for I help to shape the world.
I didn't know that...
Share one thing that no one knows about you.
Teacher as Creator
EXPERIENTIAL
Experiential education is an educational strategy that connects classroom theory with practice in the real world.
CREATIVE
Integrating creativity education into arts, academic, and training programs can help learners develop their creative capacities—the skills and attitudes that contribute to imaginative, creative, and innovative thinking.
INNOVATIVE
An innovative environment supports strengths-based teaching and learning. It offers students and teachers flexibility, agency, ubiquity, and connectedness.
