= **English Program Portfolio**  =

As a prospective teacher of secondary English, I have often asked myself what values I will uphold in my classroom. This portfolio lists these values as well as artifacts that convey how I already uphold them. I envision my classroom to be an environment in which no student feels insecure about participating, or unsure about whether or not their opinion makes a difference. I seek to make each and every student feel valued and respected, no matter who they are or where they come from. Each student should have an equal opportunity to learn and also be treated with fairness and concern regardless of their circumstances. I have learned that with experience comes the greatest kind of knowledge a person can acquire. With this in mind, I plan to move forward with the knowledge that I already have, keeping in mind that I will learn much more from experiences to come.
