Overnight Assignment 2

A powerful learning experience........Well my powereful learning experience occured over a period of time. My 10th grade year in high school(Algebra 2 class), I had an awesome teacher. She would not let her students fail. She made sure that before she went on to another topic that everyone knew what she was teaching at the moment. It was not only her teaching that made her unique, she was so sincere in preparing her students for the real world. There were days when we would have discussions and not work.(Believe me when this happened it had to be worth listening too, as everyone knew that when you had Mrs. Brown you were going to work. It didn't matter if it was the 1st day of school, the last, or even Prom week. You were going to work regardless.) She looked at me one day and said that I would be successful in life, if I would continue to work hard. Well I know we here that alot, but coming from Mrs. Brown that comment really stuck with me. So as an educator, I try to encourage students as much as possible. I know from experience that students do remember being praised. I credit some of my success to her and the "talks" that took place in my Algebra 2 class.
