I believe that learners come to the classrooms with a lot of background information that is important as a building block for me as a teacher to take advantage of and hinge my teaching on, so that learning becomes an adding on to what the student knows. I believe that learners should be given a conducive environment to learn and interact with the learning experiences in a safe place. Teaching is an interactive relationship between the learner and the teacher as facilitator.
