Freedom to teach mean that I have the tools, respect, support, and encouragement to do what I do.
It means my school, the families of my students, the community, and the Department of Education are working with me to ensure that my students get what they need, academically as well as socially, emotionally, and physically in and out the classroom.

I very much value being an american citizen and the freedom to teach means a lot to me.
It means that students are taught that they can voice their opinion without being worried about prosecution. It means being able to have discussions with students who feel safe and value their education. Freedom to teach, to me doesn't just mean teaching the curriculum my way, which I do value and appreciate, but that students can value what they learn as well.
Thank you so much for participating!
The Freedom to Teach means teachers have the right to advocate and teach what is right and beneficial to our students in ways that will help them grow and wonder.
It is part of our job description to encourage students to question. As a Science teacher, I aim to teach students to be open minded about theories and generate their own conclusions and beliefs about phenomena based on the evidence they have researched and uncovered themselves.
I like your point! Questioning lays the groundwork for critical thinking, It is so important that we impart this to our students! I appreciate you sharing :)
Thank you for sharing!
Freedom to Teach is based on trust and respect for teaching professionals.
It means being able to decide, as an educated professional, how to best teach and reach my individual students - students who are NOT the same across the board and who need a teacher who knows them to decide what they need.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for sharing!
Freedom to teach means that as I share my knowledge with students, I am open to learning from them.
Together we learn and climb new heights supporting each other.
I like your point on the importance of learning together! Thanks for sharing!
Freedom to teach means that I can guide and engage my students in a variety of ways in the classroom, reinvigorate the passion for learning, and give them opportunities to grow inside and outside the classroom as strong leaders for our future.
It means that they are more than a test score on a sheet of paper! They are all individuals with a plan for what comes next, and I have the freedom to help teach and guide them towards the best way to achieve that plan.
Thank you so much for participating! I love your inclusion of "opportunities to grow inside and outside the classroom"!
Great point! Thank you for contributing!
