The Portrait of a Teacher is a document from Montclair State University that spells out the characteristics of it's future teachers and what is expected of them. I enjoyed this document, it is one of the few that I have enjoyed from MSU, as it really caputred what i look forward to in the future. The themes of Democracy, community and social justice echoed in my ears all day. These are many things that I want to put into my lesson plans.
There was also the issues of caring about a student, taking into account the way people learn and presenting the material in different ways. This is important to me as a teacher and to my future students as they are the future leaders of America and if I can transfer these principles and nothing else I think the way they will act in life will be more productive and respectful towards eachother.
