Teaching is what we do, it is not what we are. That is our uniqueness as humans. This distinction is the truth that allows us to all to break from the herd and discover our unique personalities and develop our individual styles as teachers. We are like all teachers and yet, we are like no other teacher. It is impossible to leave me outside in the hallway when we walk into our classrooms; we teach who we are each and everyday. That being the case, it is imperative that each of us reflects every day on the effectiveness of our teaching. An excellent starting point to this lifetime process is to rethink our philosophy of education. The first question that should come to mind is; "Why did I choose this profession?" There or course will be several answers that will come to mind. Your task is to discern the truth. This is a most difficult task but it is basic to your success. You can do it, you must.
