Chapter 1: Look Beyond What You Can See
In reading Chapter One, I was reminded how important it is to enter your classroom on a daily baisis with a positive outlook on the "possibilties" of learning in many different ways. Being an encourager while teaching and tapping into the various avenues in which to motivate students individually, will hopefully help the classroom as a whole to "Aim High." The section entitled Raise Your Expectations explains well the benefits of having high expectations in every classroom setting and using engaging curriculum and strategies to peak the students interest and encourage participation that results in happy learning.
