Critical Thinking

It is very important as a teacher that we have a critical voice.  Every student has their own learning style such as teachers have their own teaching style.  It is important that we get to know our students.  Teachers should think outside the box and try a variety of  techniques to give students different learning opportunities.  It is especially important that new teachers have this mind frame when starting a new job.  You have to try a variety to see what works well for your class.  Often teachers get stuck in one way of teaching, the easiest way.  Referring to the article the teachers were afraid to take chances.  Some teachers didn't even know what chances to take.  I think they got adjusted to doing it one way,  but this is not how to teach students.  Teachers should grow and develop just like our students.
