This Class Full of Experiences

This class had to have been the most influential class I've taken in my college career. Learning about Education in depth has opened my eyes to what I can really accomplish when I become a teacher. I have so many ideas now as to what I need to do and what I know I don't want to repeat.
I did my paper on breaking classes down into groups like reading levels and labeling the students at an early age. I don't feel I would ever do this in the classroom. I don't want the hierarchy in my class, I don't want any student to be able to hold favoritism over another student, and I don't want any student to feel as if they are useless and have no chance to succeed. I am not naive I know that every student learns differently and I will respect that. In an Art classroom setting I will have the ability to help each student individually as they work and I will give each student the attention that they will need. I don't see the use of labels that can just embarrass a child.
What I really want to accomplish as a teacher is showing the importance of the Arts in the schools. I know that I am an important asset to the school whether they believe it or not. A child needs motivation to come to school not just to go because they have to. A happy student who enjoys coming to school for whatever reason will learn better. My goal now is to get the parents involved so they fight for the arts too!
