I have never really placed any thought on how my teachers became who they are. Whether or not they were my favorite teacher or my favorite class, there was something that caused them to inspire me to learn. What inspired me to learn, you may ask? It was their characteristics and abilities was what made them give me the willingness to stay focus and actually learn something in their class. This has inspired me to help understand and teach kids.

Having high expectations can cause you to be more mature as an individual and causes you to build self confidence. With the help of having high expectations, you make yourself a better person day by day. I plan to use this in my classroom daily, by encouraging my students to do more than normal, I want them to think outside of the box and to push them in an academic way to achieve greater things.

With the ability of discipline in a classroom setting will teach the students that there are rules placed for a reason. I plan to use this by having basic rules that the students must follow at all times. For example, CHAMPS, SLANT, etc. If a student does not follow the rules, I will have to punish them by either giving them a warning, calling their parents, or simply writing them up. It will provide a safe environment for the students to be in everyday. It can also help the students to develop manners because if a great number of kids are following the rules, the rest will follow. As for my fifth characteristic i choose being adaptable. I plan to use this characteristic in my classroom by adapting myself to any certain changes in lessons plans and having an open mind that not everything will flow and create backup plans. If a lesson plan is ruined, I will have another lesson plan already done so, the students will be active in my class and not just sit there and do

Many individuals have a different idea of what is considered a “true education”. Francine Prose, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sherman J. Alexie Jr, Margaret Talbot, James Baldwin, and Kyoko Mori all have different opinions on what contributes to a true education. I do not think that Warren High School serves the goals of a true education in entirety. First of all, Francine Prose, reporter, essayist, critic, and editor from the late 90’s, states in her article I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read, ““Given the fact that these early encounters with literature leave such indelible impressions, it would seem doubly important to make sure that high school students are actually reading literature.” Prose is stating that the curriculum in many schools is

The main focus was to allow teachers to teach children in an environment where they "have a right to learn and a right to have a classroom free from behavior disruption to their learning" (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011, p.464).

Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
