Every teacher is responsible for provide a good education to her/his students. This is why is so important to come every day to the classroom prepare and ready to educate our students for build in them citizens of good in the present and in the future. For accomplish this, is so important have resources to help teachers seek for help and orientation when need it. Some of the resources that I willbe using for my personal and students benefits are: A professional in the field, I come from a family of teachers but one of them is the reason of why I want to become a teacher, my aunt Wilda Cruz with 20 years of experience in Elementary Education. An organization, The Association of Teachers of Puerto Rico, this organization had been helping teachers for a century in Puerto Rico.
