Metaphors for the power of education exist without number. It is a door, it is a key, it is the answer… This year my theme for education encompasses how I see my role in helping students learn. While I have a lot of knowledge about language arts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), my job is not to fill students’ pails. Rather, my vision is that I am able to help ignite a passion for language arts – one that will burn brightly long after my influence has ended. But, with any fire, it needs oxygen to breathe and grow – so, I am asking students to come into class with an open mind, ready to help the flame catch.
