5 Things That Will Prepare Me to be an Exceptional Educator

1. By implementing the 4 Cs (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, & Collaboration) into my classroom, I will be able to reach and enhance my students' fullest ability. The 4 Cs are great strategies to use in order to make the most out of the required content and learning.

2. The most important words in education are relationships, relationships, & relationships!!! In order for students to be successful, they must form a relationship with their teacher. They must first know that you care about them before they are willing to put forth effort. 

3. It is important for educators to reflect on their work. The only way for teachers to gain an understanding on whether their strategies are effective, is to reflect. Reflecting on yourself is the single most important step in becoming a better educator. 

4. Sensory play is FOOD for the BRAIN! By implementing sensory play into the classroom, you are creating an environment that imprints the information into the students' brains. Sensory play also supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and growth motor skills, as well as problem solving and reasoning skills. Play gives students a chance to practice what they are learning. 

5. Digital storytelling will be an aspect that I implement in my future classroom. By allowing students to use digital storytelling, they will be able to vocalize their own opinions and state their viewpoints on a specific topic. This activity allows students to explore and share experiences with others, develop creativity, and promote critical thinking. Children will become exceptional in their storytelling while also becoming successful members of society.
