Welcoming Word
Making the world a better place starts with ourselves!
Welcome to my portfolio, the personal and professional information provided in this digital portfolio is to give insight on who I am as a person and future teacher. The lessons I have created as well as my experience, will be found in the following pages of this portfolio. I am a very creative person, I tend to create new things and let my imagination guide my choices as a person and as a future teacher. Encouraging imagination on the part of students is one of my most important principles, Albert Einstein once said that “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” I agree with this wise observation, teachers should promote imagination in order to make students better thinkers and creative citizens, for children, are the future citizens of tomorrow. Which is why I think teachers should not teach for the sole purpose of one year but to teach for life. My pedagogical choices are focused on fun and creativity because I believe that learning should be promoted as a pleasurable thing rather than a boring obligation. I will end this welcoming word with one of my favorite phrases by William Shakespeare.
But be not afraid of greatness, some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
( William Shakespeare, The Twelfth Night)
Together (teacher and students) can achieve greatness.
