How i look at teaching...

In my opinion!

We are ALL Teachers! As human beings on this earth we learn from each other. Our actions and words are teaching someone something! Weather they are good things or bad things we have to remember there is always someone watching and hearing everything we do and say. Unless of course you live under a rock!!
As a parent it is my job to teach my children everything!! And where does that "everything" come from? The teachings my parents handed down to me. The morals and ethics they installed in me are what i emulate to my children and those of my future students. Like Whaea Te Auta said "My whakapapa, culture, values and beliefs" will always play apart in how i teach and learn.

I think the most important elements of teaching are creating a warm and caring environment for the learner. As māori we always manaaki first. This is one of the values i have been brought up with and will take with me through my teaching/learning journey.
