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.
