Teaching cognitive skills is not enough...In education, it isn't how much you have committed to memory or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know and it's knowing how to use the information you get.

As a teacher, I feel I have a moral obligation to help the children in my classroom grow toward becoming full human beings and to feel successful.
