Who am I Accountable to as a Teacher?

As a teacher of social studies, I am accountable to my students, my community and myself.  Actually, I am going to use just the one word, community, to describe all of those that I am accountable.  I cannot possibly please everyone but I can try to bring integrity in all of my lessons, actions and interactions.  If I have integrity and have a thoughtful reason and justification in what I am teaching, and my goals are to help students to understand the importance and relevance of the study of social studies in their lives, I am able to have an honest dialogue with anyone about my lessons and my style.  Tensions arise when there is a miscommunication or when there is a disagreement as to how I arrived at my conclusions I teach to my students.  I am a very liberal and very opinionated person and will have (and have had) a hard time wearing my political opinions on my sleeve.  When there is tension, I hope to be able to have honest, open conversations with those in my community.  I am hoping to be communicative through a comprehensive syllabus, emails, phone calls and face to face meetings when necessary.  I want to be accessible to all of my community.  I think my ability to communicate with people will help me, and has helped me to build trust and good relationships with those to which I am accountable.  I have certainly worked with all sorts of people who are not as liberal as myself nor agree with my style of teaching but as long as I am mindful about everything I teach and every thing I say, I am free to move throughout my community.  Again, it's all about integrity, honesty, and keeping an open dialogue with my community.
