I don't want to be similar to any of the awful teachers I had in high school. The ones that continued the mind numbing way of teaching that has gone on for decades....
I don't expect to know everything there is to know the second I step foot in my own classroom. I'm actually expecting and looking forward to it be pretty rough the first few years. We all fall off our bike the first time we learn to ride don't we? No one should expect nor hope for perfection the first time they try something, especially not something as complex as teaching.
I want to learn form my students as well as have them learn from me. If a student has an idea to use a particular outside resource (like tools Google has to offer or anything similar) for a presentation or project, not specified in my curriculum, I wouldn't shut him or her out for having that idea. I would want to look into what they are talking about and maybe even have them teach me how to use whatever it is he or she wants to use in order to complete the assignment. Being a narrow minded teacher will only hurt my students.
