Coming back to school

A day before starting the second term, I have done many reflections about my job as a teacher. Each time I think about it I think that my job consists of building a rich environment that facilitates the kind of learning that will benefit my students. It is not to reproduce the lesson but to develop concepts, think critically, and apply and evaluate what they have learned, by providing opportunities and experiences that are relevant to such goals. Because of all of those reasons, I prefer to work through projects more than to have a book and follow the units without any motivation.
By the way, this is a popplet I created to summarize the advantages of working through learning environments. 
Good luck in your practice teaching!
