“I Believe”

“I Believe”

I believe that I have a lot to learn.

A lot to learn about teaching in general

teaching English

reading

writing

everything.

I believe that I am gaining knowledge, valuable knowledge, in All of my classes.

I believe that I can pick and choose what techniques I want to try in my classroom.

I believe that I will improve with experience.

I believe that I will make mistakes and that I will grow from these mistakes.

I believe that I will discover what is successful.

Successful for Both

my Students

and Myself.

                                                                                       This I believe.

P.S. I wrote this a while ago in my writer’s notebook after reading “This I Believe,” by Penny Kittle. It was a powerful writing experience for me and I kept thinking about it, so I had to blog about it.
