Freedom to teach means having the autonomy to focus less on preparing students to fill in the bubble of a multiple choice test and more on developing social emotional learning skills, creativity, and problem solving.

Freedom to teach means not being bound by the tight grip of standards that discourage students from focusing on issues that matter the most to them. When teachers are free, students are free to be the true architects of their future.

Freedom to Teach means to me that my students have safe learning environments.

It also means that our school district is able to provide the needed resources for current technology and educational materials that promote lifelong learning and critical thinking skills in my students. And finally, Freedom to Teach means that I am able to give my students the freedom to investigate ideas and concepts that spring from discussions and explorations.

Freedom to teach is having the ability to explore the areas that make me and my students feel truly passionate about learning.

This exploration captivates kids to be the best version of themselves and come to school with a positive attitude. Freedom to teach creates not just a classroom, but a whole building, where every person regardless of position feels listened to and respected. This means that requests for resources, training and collaboration are heard and met to the best quality that all involved can provide.

I like your point on how it creates an environment in the whole building where everyone "feels listened to and respected." Thanks for sharing!

La libertad de enseñar, es una acción valorada y de confianza por toda una familia educativa y sociedad involucrada, cuyo objetivo fundamental del maestro, es formar ciudadanos reflexivos, críticos, creativos, partícipes y/o solucionadores de problem

. as en su ámbito social. Libertad para enseñar es compartir las buenas acciones con otras escuelas del mundo para rescatar valiosas opiniones y aportes de como ellos enfocan sus aprendizajes y desarrollan sus habilidades socioculturales. El mensaje es simple si hay libertad de enseñar se puede hacer de este mundo UN MUNDO MEJOR.

The Freedom to Teach in the U.

S.A. allows us to present all sides to a story without fear of repression. We are privileged to live and work in a country where we can choose what and how we teach our students. Some districts and departments allow us freedom to plan engaging lessons to meet the needs of our individual students. Students need to be proficient in multiple viewpoints to make educated opinions. I love teaching languages as it allows me the freedom to teach many things that my students are interested in being able to communicate.
