Christine believes that true knowledge is that which is learned, understood, and pieced into one’s own patchwork of life. With this in mind, our nation’s teachers must provide a secure, positive, inclusive, nurturing as well as engaging classroom environment for all students. Educators need to remember that pupils are multi-faceted learners who are becoming lifelong readers, writers, speakers and thinkers. Teachers are obligated on a daily basis to awaken the learner in each student. This awakening process occurs when the proper learning environment, instructional delivery system, and independent or group practice or discussion are provided for the learner. Consequently, the pupil is enabled to find their education both meaningful and useful. Exposure to exemplary teachers will develop thinkers who thirst for learning throughout their lives. All teachers must inspire their students to understand that one’s most significant learning experiences often come from turning struggles into personal successes.
