Goals

When I become a Elementary teacher (for any grade) I want to be the best teacher I can be for my students. I do not want to become one of the teachers who don’t care or have a good connection with their students. I want to be a fun, likable, and successful teacher. I want to help all children succeed just like my teachers did with me.
