One of Joy's favorite quotes is:"Esse Quom Videri: To be rather than to seem.
Winston Churchill once commented, “The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity.” The pessimist thinks only of problems. But why focus on problems, when you can fill your head with solutions?
Know thyself.
Never, ever give up!
My core belief as a teacher follows:
Guiding Principles of Responsive Classroom
...Expand for more
The social curriculum is as important as the
academic curriculum.
How children learn is as important as what they
learn: Process and content go hand in hand.
The greatest cognitive growth occurs through
social interaction.
To be successful academically and socially, children
need a set of social skills: cooperation, assertion,
responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
Knowing the children we teach—individually,
culturally, and developmentally—is as important
as knowing the content we teach.
Knowing the families of the children we teach
and working with them as partners is essential
to children’s education.
How the adults at school work together is as important
as their individual competence: Lasting
change begins with the adult community.".
