Academic achievement includes supporting students to become life-long learners. While students’ families are primary stakeholders in their academic success and must be accountable for contributing to it, educators must do the same. We must also strive to continue improving our craft and hold ourselves accountable for student achievement in the classroom. Effective educators encourage their students to improve and develop their skills. The same expectation should be held for us. This can be accomplished by exploring and implementing new and effective best practices as we assist students in reaching academic success as reflection and improvement are two values that are embodied by all members of a culture for learning.  Ultimately, the cycle of learning is always in motion for both educators and students. New knowledge and skills are learned, practiced and acquired. Just as we are coaches to students, other colleagues can provide the support and expertise needed to assist others to maximize effectiveness in the classroom.
