American Foundation 12/08

We had a guest speaker who was really happy and peppy. She talked to us about teaching morals in school. What we should do, could do and what we shouldn't do. Although we have discussed it a few times it's letting me know that there is no way around it somehow and sometimes we will discuss moral issues. We as a teacher can try to avoid it but it will always come back to us. She also talked about teachers roles in 4 categories. The one I found to be interesting is having a role in political issues. We can teach our students about politics by holding democratic processes in our classrooms and by making them apart of the process.
