In addition, I come from a family that operates a Jewish outreach center.

Daily, I am surrounded by family members, community members and their children. Having had the opportunity to interact with children on a daily basis, I understand their unique qualities and needs. Moreover, I come from a family of educators, who are my role models and who have influenced me to pursue this field . As a religious Jew, living as a Jewish emissary has shaped my life drastically. …show more content…

I feel that these are the strengths that are needed by childhood education teachers. As a hardworking young teacher, I will give my class all I have, whether it is by preparing extra hours to make sure my class will understand my material, or if it is by spending the extra time looking for ways to teach, to ensure the success of all types of learners. My excellent organizational skills will also come in handy, as I will be able to create a controlled classroom, giving children a sense of stability.

I postulate that the above mentioned attributes will allow me to become a successful educator. Besides for my attributes, I believe that from my experiences I have gained much needed knowledge about

For instance child-centered education programs tend to have educators that put “children’s ideas, preferences, learning styles, and interests are considered in the planning for and implementation of instructional practices”.

I also read that “Children are active participants in their own education and development. This means that they should be mentally involved and physically active in learning what they need to know and do”.
