Am I a 21st Century Teacher?

There are days when I see my students engaged in learning, working together to solve problems or creatively applying their skills in a project, and I am elated. I feel pretty good about my job as a facilitator in their learning.  Conversely, there are those days when my best plans seem to fail.  Confusion and misunderstanding prevail.  Am I well prepared to provide my students with 21st Century skills?  It depends on the day.
Although I feel somewhat qualified for 21st Century teaching, I desire more preparation, more information, and more ideas so that I can best help the children in my class.  Like our students, teachers must be learners.  We must continually seek knowledge that will assist us in doing our best.
I believe one of my strengths as a 21st Century teacher is providing a safe and supportive learning environment.  I work hard to create and maintain a classroom community where all students are respected and cared for.  I think it is this type of atmosphere that fosters discovery, risk-taking, and creativity. 
Sometimes I feel challenged by, not so much what to teach, buy how to teach it.  I want to present information to students so they understand and become engaged.  Finding activities and tools that support lessons can sometimes be a struggle.  Time is a huge factor.  There's an abundance of information at my fingertips, but only 24 hours in a day (and I need my seven hours sleep).  Sifting through information can be time-consuming.
Are my students equipped with 21st Century skills?  I believe so.  Can I do more?  You bet!  As I continue to grow as a teacher, my students benefit from my learning, successes and, yes, even failures.
