Seeing how you laid out your teaching "mission statements" in different sections with a header at each section, I feel like this was the best way to make such a thing. This is because it would be easy to look back on and realize weather you're staying true to your word as a teacher or not through the things you do for your classroom and your students. You could even post something like this publicly for your students/coworkers to see and be accepting of feedback from others on weather they think you're staying true to what you want to achieve as a teacher. This can lead to great discussions, and if they're with your students this is an easy way…
