Education is not a stagnate process.  While teaching demands much planning and structure, it is also very spontaneous and requires constant evaluation and reevaluation of students. It is important to use ingenuity and adaptability to adjust to the many situations in the classroom. It is this ability coupled with creating an encouraging classroom culture that most benefits students and helps them achieve their full potential.

The application of learned material in hands-on activities keeps students engaged in scholarship and provides relevance to the world beyond the classroom. Without adding relevance or meaning to a lesson, students fail to value skills and knowledge in their everyday lives. Patience and determination to differentiate instruction, approach concepts from different angles, and introduce current issues in classroom discussions and reflections helps educators excel at this. Interdisciplinary instruction and incorporating skills and content from math, literacy and history promotes academic rigor and a greater appreciation for the connection between educational disciplines.  

While it is important to guide students with proper understanding of curriculum, it is also necessary to implement problem-based and student-centered learning methodologies. They provide strategies and skills that promote student leadership in initiating and creating positive learning environments. Educators should have a strong desire to help students become comfortable with their ability to learn and develop a sense of autonomy and accomplishment. Encouraging and nurturing a strong inquisitive spirit plays a vital role in helping students appreciate their academics and be successful in their lives after leaving the classroom.
