I Believe Statements
I have been collecting my I believe statements that will guide me throughout my journey of becoming a teacher and while teaching. These statements are important values that I believe will create a healthy classroom.
I believe:
...language is a powerful tool.
​
...teachers possess the ability to change the future one day at a time.
​
...future teachers are being taught to change our education system to sufficiently benefit and include all racial groups, students with intellectual disabilities, behavioural challenges, and gendered children.
​
...to never favour children, it is ranking the children when all should be taught and viewed as equals.
​
...all classrooms should preach the land and right of Indigenous peoples.
​
...that in order to become a successful teacher is challenging myself to keep learning.
​
...it is time that people who identify with different sexualities and genders then heterosexual deserve to be respected, valued, accepted, supported, and defended, especially in the classroom.
​
...everyone should have equal rights despite their genders and sexualities.
​
...everyone should feel comfortable and content at school.
​
...no one is obligated to explain their gender/sexuality.
​
...our strength is our diversity.
​
...in being a strong role model that I would have liked to have growing up.
...early experiences impact who we become.
​
...in building relationships with your students.
​
...in executing an inclusive education curriculum in my classroom.
​
...in spreading awareness of truth in reconciliation in the classroom and outside the classroom.
