As a first year teacher, maintaining a positive attitude is reasonable considering you are expected to inspire, by organizing my life, I will be prepared to handle unforeseen circumstances, and the use of my experience over the years is a reflection of being a student that will contribute to my success with the help of patience and understanding. When I enter a classroom, I am equipped with an open mind that allows me to be flexible with the understanding that not all kids/students are the same and for that reason does not learn at the same pace. It has been my experience as a mother that, kids will not always like their teachers, partly because they challenge them to do above average. No matter what transpire, I intend to adjust …show more content…

This will give me an edge of dealing with my co-workers, accepting constructive criticism without offense, and be willing to help out and accept help from others. In an educational setting, I am open to having a mentor and learn from that person’s experiences and approaches to different situations that will contribute to my growth and development of being an exceptional teacher. I understand that I have to separate my personal life from my professional life and stay focus on what I want to accomplish as a teacher while protecting the wellbeing of my students. For the reasons listed above, I am the only person that could impact my success as a first year teacher, and I don’t foresee that happening. I was born to teach. In essence “Being Reasonable”, “Organizing my life”, and “Reflecting” will definitely be the driving force that will help me to succeed as a new first year teacher.There is no bigger reward than being a teacher. There is a deep sense of fulfillment and pleasure in the work that a teacher does on a daily basis. The impact a teacher have on the lives of others is priceless. As a teacher

The decision to enter a profession that has the potential to affect hundreds of lives of children each year should not be taken lightly. One must make sure they are ready for the challenges and responsibilities as well as the joys of humour entering the profession” (Hembree, 2013).

The Second Inaugural Address was a speech by Abraham Lincoln about what he will do for the country for his second term on March 4, 1865. At the beginning of the speech he briefly talks about how he will run and that he has high hopes for the future. He spoke to the whole country about what he will do next, but what he said was brief. He has already been president for a 1st term, so he does not say much because he has already said what he wants to do for the county during his first term. Now it is his second term and gives a speech telling the country that he wants to work as a union, to respect and help the army veterans because they go through a lot.

For novice teachers, studies show that about 17 to 40 percent of them will quit within the first five years. Many reasons exist as to why, with popular trends including: low pay (where beginning teachers earn 20% less than their college degree earner counterparts), dissatisfaction with compensation, better career opportunities, challenging working conditions, personal reasons, lack of support for new teachers, and inadequate preparation. Most notably, the factors that go hand-in-hand are teacher preparation and support through mentorship. If teaching institutions are not thorough with their preparation, veteran teachers at the novice teachers’ school would be the next available option. A mentor’s expertise within the school, given their tenure, should nurture a new teacher into becoming effective and efficient.

That overwhelming desire to learn and become a well-rounded person has stayed over the years, driving me to push myself and continually strive to improve and accomplish all I set out to.

The purpose for secondary math education is to guide and support adolescents with high quality math that will prepare them for their future endeavors. School is mandatory for all children to attend, so educators must take advantage of the opportunity to be Jesus in every classroom. Although there are limitations to what the teacher can and cannot say, we must be creative and take advantage of the opportunity that is in front of us. “Christian teachers in public schools are “modern-day Daniels,” working in schools that are hostile to their faith” (Brown). So how can I, as a future secondary math educator in the public school system, use my career as a ministry to further the Kingdom of God?

First, let me tell you I had never wanted to be a teacher since in my opinion, being a teacher was boring and dealing with students was stressing; I got into Teaching School by accident, but once I started I found out that Teaching ESL is challenging, but the rewards outweigh the costs.

As a teacher, you can help others and sometimes that impact is so big that helps them change their lives.
