The children in a school are valued, with an environment that fully encourages and celebrates their learning and progression and how they are developing. The provision of a safe and secure learning environment for all its pupils should be provided through recognizing the importance of welcoming diversity and equal opportunities.

As a kindergarten teacher at Otter Lake Elementary (WBLAS) and first grade teacher at S.G. Reinertsen Elementary (Moorhead Public Schools), I have learned the importance of establishing a sense of community and belonging in the classroom. By providing a stimulating learning environment that fosters confidence and encourages each child to reach their fullest potential, I aim to meet the specific needs of each student. I firmly believe that every child is entitled to an education environment that enables them to learn and grow both academically and personally. By motivating my students to have confidence in their strengths and abilities, I hope to inspire them to become dedicated, lifelong learners. With only seven hours each day to make a difference in students’ lives, I strive to effectively utilize our time together to ensure they receive a valuable
A teacher can help each individual student to be educationally successful if they take the time and energy required to do so.

I clearly state the learning and behavioral expectations for my class and I uphold them. Most importantly I make sure to create each lesson to meet the individual needs of every student, so that everyone is learning. For instance, when working on math I create a math warm up that caters to all of the needs of my students. One math worksheet will have images of coins and they have to count the coins and write the answer or use a number stamp to stamp the answer. Then they will have to skip count by 1’s writing themselves, circling the answer, or using a number stamp.
Students learn in different ways and styles and I believe this is key to developing a program that engages all students. Every student has a unique learning style and this means that I must be well versed and prepared to cater and deliver a wide range of individual needs. This means that in order to support and foster knowledge growth the learning environment should be stimulating, engaging and offering a range of resources that cater to a range of individual needs. While I have only had experience so far as a CRT and a Drama teacher, I have had many challenges.
Being involved in the learning process of others is vitally important to me. I believe that as an educator, we have the capability and responsibility to help mold not only students educational goals, but to help mold them into successful adults that sill contribute to society. Many times during my life I have been a teacher, a counselor, a cheerleader and a role model for my students. Every student is at a different point in their learning process and cycle, and a good educator can find that point and capitalize on what the student needs next.
I want students to be able to learn and appreciate the complexity which is our nervous system. I want to foster a passion for all things neuroscience.

Writing holds a central place in everyday life, from talking with friends and family to navigating academia and careers. We are all constantly being bombarded with information, assignments, and tasks that require our ability to navigate a highly literate world. As I continue my transition into the world of adulthood, the demands on my literacy skills will only go up. Gallagher who summed up the importance of literacy in the Information Age says it best: “Today, writing is foundational for success” (4). My role as a teacher of writing is an important job, one that, if done well, can tremendously help students to flourish in this new age.
Education and volunteerism have always been important to me. My grandmother made it clear that not going to college was not an option. I am a first-generation college graduate in my family.

I never really knew what I wanted to be growing up until the beginning of my senior year when I found myself sitting in a Government class. Many of my peers found the subject quite boring but I on the contrary found it riveting, exciting, and amazing. I truly enjoy learning about government and there’s nothing else that I’d rather do then go on to become a Government teacher. One day I will achieve my future goal of becoming a government teacher, because of the strengths that I have. Some of my strengths would be that I’m a good listener, fast learner and very goal driven.

Being the top of my class has always been important to me. Not for the number, not for the grade, but rather, for the opportunities that success brought me. I have a voracious mind; I’m capable of devouring countless facts and swaths of knowledge, but none of that knowledge is for me.
