I have always believed that the moment I think I know it all, I fail as a teacher. Being a lifelong learner is something we want our students to achieve, but as teachers, we need to have the same mentality. I want to learn as much as I can and I want to be the best teacher possible. All of the books I would like have to do with student engagement strategies. I want active learners to learn through hands-on experiences. I also want to learn how to write grants so I can bring even more materials into my room. I would love and appreciate all the knowledge and tools I can get!
