Summary
Know me before you teach me.
As an educator, I firmly believe in the
transformative power of education and
its ability to shape the lives of students.
However, I recognise that teaching is
not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every
student is unique, with diverse
backgrounds, experiences, and learning
styles. In my classroom, I embrace the
philosophy of "Know Me Before You
Teach Me," understanding that building
meaningful connections and gaining
insight into each student's individuality
is crucial for effective teaching and
learning.
