You gotta take the time to see more than just the surface of things- really dig in and make a difference in your teaching style by getting your students involved in the change you want to be!
  
I love that we can make connections for our students! I want to be the type of teacher who inspires students to take responsibilities for their own actions, while inspiring them to be the best they can be. By helping students make sense of their options, they are able to see the big picture!
