It is also very important for teachers to understand the challenges that these students are facing. Having empathy towards the students allows for the teacher to create better connections and relationships to better help them.

As an educational leader, the single most important thing I can do is hire, retain, and cultivate an effective teaching staff. Specifically, I want competent professionals that love children, are passionate about teaching, and continuously strive for improvement. Quality teachers build relationships and trust, and when students feel valued and supported, they are motivated to take risks and are more resilient when encountering setbacks.

Student teaching has fanned the fire of my passion for being a teacher and been a light onto the path of how to become the best I can be. Reflecting on each experience, the successful and the not so successful, has encouraged me to continue to persevere and grow from these challenges. Not only did I discover a great deal about teaching but I also learned a great deal about myself. I was able to surpass all the challenges that I have faced.
