Episode #5: Imagine the Ideal Classroom

Spend time thinking about the ideal classroom, knowing that every classroom will look different.  What does the physical space look like?  How are lessons taught in that classroom?  What does assessment and classroom management look like?  Once you begin to understand what "ideal" looks like to you, start working towards it every day.  In all likelihood, you will never achieve "ideal" or "perfection,"  but you will certainly have philosophical and tangible goals to work towards.  Effective teachers know that trying is far more powerful than not trying.
