Throughout the process of learning to become a teacher I have also learned how much I value the chance to learn new things and be a student myself. It excites me to be entering a profession that values and encourages constant professional development and will allow me to continue to be a life long learner. Here are some pieces that have profoundly influenced my perspective as a future educator.
