"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." Reading William Arthur Ward's quotation, I begin to reflect on my own teaching experiences and classroom environment. I try to inspire my students by telling them they have to leave their “comfort zone” and push aside their insecurities to see themselves for the remarkable students they truly are. I currently teach three AP Language and Composition classes - junior level, two Contemporary Literature classes - senior level, and one SAT Prep class - mixed level. My school's student population is diverse in ability, career aspiration, needs, and demographic composition. Our diversity has given us the unique opportunity to model the challenges and benefits of a global community within our walls.
