Changing policy in classroom to reflect a moving mindset

    I am willing to change a current course to reflect a moving mindset.  The primary reason for this is because the meaning of an education has changed over the years since I first became a teacher.  I can no longer teach the way I always have and be highly effective.  It is obvious kids learn differently today and at a much faster pace. By moving my own mindset, I will better be able to meet all the needs of my students in my classroom. 
   My mindset will be centered around the notation of moving from "testing skills" to "life skills".  I chose to change this after reading the papers and watching the videos associated with a changing mindset in our module two lessons.  Moving to "life skills" will be a powerful benefit for the students I teach.  
   This mindset will enable me to teach my students to explore, question, and implement learning into their own life. With this mentality, I will be able develop seeds that will mature the rest of the students' lives. 
   If students learn to find what he/she is passionate about and what fascinates them as an individual, the students knowledge will be endless. 
    In today's society, information is readily available in a plethora of formats to engage even the most unlikely learners.  Kids are able to be captivated, connected, and self-taught like never before.  I have many reasons to change my mindset.  One of the biggest reasons is because kids are ready for this change.  They are engrossed by the technology and are willing to use it. They are willing and open to learn this new virtual education right beside me.  I would be hindering my students if I did not embrace this new mindset.
    In the past, I am guilty of not using the latest technology due to my inexperience.  I want to change my mindset and let the kids teach me what they are discovering and learning.  I want to place the technology into their hands and pave the path together.  This is when true learning will transpire for both of us. 
   Finally, changing my mindset would ensure, I am providing the learners with essential tools to become the learners they will need to be to be successful or want to become.
