Teaching as a profession brings with it an opportunity to give life skills to all students on a daily basis. Students learn what they live. So we need to be aware of our own standards, values and reactions to others. If we treat all people with courtesy and respect then we are setting the standard for all students to reach. In doing this we do not have to have special curriculum to teach students. We implement it into our classrooms every single day and the change will come. I have personally experienced this. Respect your profession Respect yourself Respect each other TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE OUR SCHOOLS GREAT!
