From My Heart

- Remember that ALL children deserve to feel self-worth and respect.
- Constantly strive to improve yourself, knowing example is the best teacher.
- Prepare your classroom and materials long before the children arrive.
- Set up a good filing system, labeled well.
- Work for a climate that is conducive to learning.
- Search for ways to AVOID punishment rather than ways to punish.
- If independent work is part of the curriculum, make it constructive.
- Plan skills instruction to include ALL learning styles.
