H.O.T. Teachers - Higher Order Thinking Teachers / Wanna-be Teachers / or just part of the self-opinionated rabble.
We are:
Higher Order Thinkers (sound reasoning and common sense based on experiences in the classroom)
Creative problem-solvers (some with more imagination than others... oh look a rock that looks like a fish!)
Life-long learners (our lives are stimulated by intelligent discourse with others)
Captivated by knowledge as a pathway to power in our students and ourselves.
Generally good spellers and even better grammartists. (inventors of words as well)
Upholder of high expectations and standards in our students. (and able to leap from a tall building in a single bound!)
We do not:
Mollycoddle
Dumb-down discussions
