Introduction
What makes a teacher? Teaching is like a salad. Think about it. If you were to attend a party for any given holiday, the number of and
variations to each salad recipe that might be present for consumption could outnumber those present at the party. There are so many different ways to
teach, varying circumstances to take into account, and philosophies to apply to each classroom. And what better way to have a positive impact on the
world than to offer knowledge for consumption? The term teacher can be applied to anyone who imparts knowledge of any topic, but it is generally
more focused on those who are hired to do so (teach, n.d., n.p.). In imparting knowledge to our students, it is inevitable that we must take into
account our own personal philosophies, or pedagogies, and determine not only how we decide what our philosophies are, but also how those impact
our consumers.
