Description
Summary:Ritter asserts that respect for education as a profession as well as for world language education itself is one of the factors that contribute to teacher career satisfaction. Empowered educators who report fulfillment in their careers cite bountiful opportunities to make meaningful connections with students, the cultivation of fruitful collegial relationships, continuing one' personal growth, and making a lasting impact on the future by being part of a larger learning community. As a profession, we also strive for respectful practices that celebrate the value of all people, promote a rich array of language offerings, demonstrate acceptance of various approaches to teaching derived from evidence-based research, and partnerships with diverse communities. These practices maximize resources and communicate the importance of language learning to stakeholders.
