"Hello, my name is Richard Miller, and I will be your English teacher..."
I base what I do in my classroom on some very simple principles: Respect, Knowledge and Fun.
In my room WE create an environment of Respect for people, literature, communication and ideas.
In my room WE create an understanding that Knowledge is something gained through WORK and EFFORT on both the learner's and teacher's parts- we are a team.
In my room WE create Fun by keeping an open mind about the world around us. We have Fun by finding something fun in even the most mundane things.
You see, in my room we create an environment where neither of us will be right 100% of the time, both of us will loose a lot more than we win, and as soon as we both realize this, we can work together to make this room a place where learning can be fun, challenging and beneficial...all at the same time. I hope to bring you to a place where you are learning how to use knowledge you have, understanding you have gained and desire for both that you did not know was there, all in a way that you have never done before. You will learn and not even know that you are learning!
