According to Harry Wong
Schools exists and teachers are hired for one reason only:
to help students achieve.
If students cannot demonstrate learning or achievement, the student has not failed—We have failed the student.

Left with important questions…
• How should this shift in influence affect the way we plan and teach our lessons?
• Are there any areas that I need to work on in order to become a more highly effective teacher?
• Am I utilizing instructional time wisely?• Am I teaching with the learner in mind?
