Welcome to My Teaching and Reflecting: One Year In 1rst Grade. You can also read my current posts at www.nataliegrimm.com |
"For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a teacher. Some childhoods are spent playing house or with Tonka trucks; mine was spent subjecting my little sister to playing school (naturally I made her the student). My passion and love for teaching children has grown ever since then.
It is my firm belief that the role of a teacher is one of a cultivator.
Looking back on my own education, the teachers that made the
most impact in my life were not the ones who tried to fit me into
some kind of mold, but rather spotted my strengths and passions
that were already present in me and sought out to grow them in me. I desire to continue that approach in my own
teaching and learning. Likewise,
the role of the student is to glean, personalize, & take
ownership in the learning environment they find themselves." Natalie Grimm
