Teaching young people in Canakkale

Teaching young people in Canakkale is very satisfying--it makes me understand and respect more deeply the meaning of family. I read a quote today--"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." and I think I agree with her. I am glad to be in a position of learning something new every day.

What good students can do to be better

Good students inspire the teacher to new insights and better practices in the classroom. I have seen how innovative students are in approaching new ideas and how they can work together. The process helps improve my understanding of 'what to do' in facilitating the class experience. 

I want to be a part of 'Classroom 2.0', using time in- and outside the class walls to improve the speed and depth of learning for my students.

These guys make me feel good to be a teacher. For them, I want to always be improving my craft.
