2. When I teach I want students to learn and stay
on task but I want learning to be self motivated.
Children have an innate desire to learn and are
curious so with guidance children could have
the potential to learn beyond grade level.
I do believe teachers do need to help children
learn and acquire greater skills but the students
are capable of learning anything with proper
instruction and help.
