"I begin with the basics and add to them by using the resources from staff development courses, computer programs, learning centers, strategies from Project RIDE, Student Support Team meetings, parent conferences and shared experiences from other teachers. "As I teach, I try to focus on individual progress and provide students with an application and an appreciation for what is being taught. Stewart said that teachers should always remember their first committment-- teachine children "Also, teachers should also keep parents informed of progress, behavior, and changes in the students. Stewart said a familiar Bible verse should urge parents to watch with interest and pride the direction their particular child travels. "Proverbs 22:6 says, ’Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it'," Stewart. said. ”1 am teaching my own children, and my students, to follow the right path, and I look forward to seeing the blessings they receive from their training."
