In the field of education, educators know that they leave a lasting impact on their students for better or for worse. Trust is established or diminished in the classroom and very good educators understand that they are fallible. Despite their best efforts, they will not always do the best for each student.

We need teacher educators who regularly spend a great deal of time in classrooms so they have a deep understanding of where they students will teach.

Teachers craft classrooms that are good matches for their teaching styles as well as for learner needs.

Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small groups of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike.

Teaching is a very habit-bound endeavor. We're unsettled by the unfamiliar. We're creatures of habit too.
