Although most people will agree that education is the key to success, many educators have differing opinions on how to best do the job of educating students. As a teacher, I think of myself as a tour guide or much like a travel agent. I want to inspire, motivate and encourage students to step out of their comfort zones to not just assimilate facts and figures, but to learn how to think, question and understand. To be able to organize thoughts and solve problems will give students the keys to living successfully in an ever-changing world.
