some final last words to live by....

• you can't teach creativity or imagination .... but embrace what is there and what you can find
• create a book list this summer to read...engage yourself in teaching material and keep yourself updated with the educational world
• diversity is a strength that we can build upon in the classroom
• KNOWLEDGE BUILDING is key to learning & teaching
• technology can be an enabler and give everyone a voice in the classroom. Kids that normally can't be heard are heard
• scaffolding means that we provide continuous feedback over time and opportunities to improve learning. We as teachers improve our understanding as well
