I truly enjoyed the video and agreed with Dr. William Ayers was stating. As a teacher, each day is trial and error. Children need to know what my expectations are of the classroom and of themselves. The teachers classroom rules and expectations need to forced the moment they want into the class. A classroom also should be structured and consistent at all times. Students should also be given ample time to learn and grow new things on a daily basis.
My philosophy of being a teacher is to provide a safe, nurturing, and caring environment for all students. I want all of my students to be successful with their academic work. As I continue to teach, I change certain things because I get a new group of children each year. What may have worked one year with one group may not work with the next group of children that I will get the following year. I am always taking workshops and reading current news articles to see what is going on in our classrooms and get new ideas for my own classroom.
Your heart has to be in the right place in one decides to go into the teaching profession. You will have to take the good with the bad, like any job and hang in there. Teaching is very rewarding career for me. I look forward to teaching my students each day and having fun with my lessons.

Module 7
The two topics that I chose to talk about were: The Federal Government and Black Americans: The Struggle for a Chance to Learn. As a teacher, I feel that it is important for all children to learn a grow when getting their education. I know that all schools do not look the same nor have the same types of available resources. Teachers spending a lot of time and their own money out of pocket, like myself giving the children what to need to be successful in school.
