Freedom to teach means being able to use whatever curriculum, resources and supplies engage my students and make them excited to learn and able to learn.

Freedom to teach is being able to modify your curriculum to fit the needs of your student population without retaliation from administrators and evaluators.

Not being constricted by many unnecessary district rules or regs and exposing the students to thought provoking literature and information so that they can tackle questions that concern them and their world, at large.

Freedom to teach means I have the opportunity to teach what my students need.

It means I don't follow a script but I can do what is in the best interest of my students.

I teach elementary art.

I like to explore culture through art. Each day that I teach I am allowed to present ideas and projects without fear! My students enjoy spending time creating art that represents many other cultures. Like many teachers i have been able to travel. The artifacts, ideas and projects I bring back to my students have enriched their lives in many ways. Students want to hear about other cultures. They embrace diversity through art. I am privileged to present ideas, cultural life and language through art. I truly have the freedom to teach and a reflection of that is that my students have the freedom to learn, which is equally as important!

Great point on how freedom to teach is connected to students' freedom to learn!

Freedom to Teach means the classroom teacher is never made to feel incompetent based on standardized test scores.

Highly Qualified means HIGHLY QUALIFIED!

Yes! Thank you for contributing, Lori!

Freedom to Teach is the freedom to offer students the education that they deserve to gain knowledge, skills, and dispositions, that will enable them to have the freedom to be who they want to be, and go where they want to go.

I agree! Thanks for sharing!

Freedom to teach means being able to use outside resources that give the kids more skills than just reading and writing skills.

Freedom to teach means to me that I can help kids better understand themselves, others, the world and their place in it.

I also have the ability to help shape my students future and become the best they can be.
