Music and literature caused many cultural changes in the Black community during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. The Harlem Renaissance was a movement for Black people where they were able to embrace their culture and celebrate freedom. They came from the south to New York to get away from racism. They were finally able to make music and literature because they didn’t have their own community before to be able to be themselves. For example “The Harlem Renaissance influenced theater, art, and music.
What do you currently teach and where? I am a December graduate of the University of Charleston. I graduated magna cum laude. After graduation I began substituting. I substituted at a variety of schools in Kanawha County in a variety of grades.
As a future teacher looking toward a time when I will be responsible for a classroom of my own, the prospects are terrifying. Students arrive in the classroom with various strengths and weaknesses with the expectation that I can and will teach them the given curriculum. Admittedly, some students will be easier to connect with and teach than others. This is not the fault of the students, but rather the fault of the teacher. However, this is not to say that the teacher should be held entirely responsible for the challenges that he/she may face and fail; but the teacher can surely be held responsible for coming to an expected challenge and failing due to lack of preparation or effort.
When I graduate from high school, I want to go into a career as an elementary school teacher. An elementary school teacher has to come up with lesson plans for different subject *, teach the said lesson plans to the students, and grade all of the assignments that are give. They also have to discipline the children if they don’t follow the class rules and meet with the student’s parents and communicate with them about their child’s progress. Depending on where you teach, some elementary school teachers have to also teach a speciality class, such as P.E., vocal music, or art.
When students grow together in an inclusion classroom and respect learning diversity can help separate the divide that might have once existed between students. Inside the classroom is where students learn how to grow as individuals and as learners. To be an effective special education teacher, it’s important for the teacher to hold themselves and their students to the high standards that one wants to achieve. In order for the students' to succeed to the expectations that teachers hold them to, teachers need to focus on their own teaching achievements.
Spending late nights grading, dealing with parents, a teacher’s salary isn’t sufficient for the broad job descriptions they are responsible to meet. Although it takes someone with a loving heart to be a teacher, they are suppose to teach what will become of the future. Therefore wouldn’t they have the most important job? In addition to be a successful teacher, first teachers have to go school themselves. Moreover after comparing South Texas College, Texas State University and University of Rio Grande Valley based on my criteria of tuition cost,location, and strength of program, University of Rio Grande Valley would be my best choice in helping me pursue a career in interdisciplinary studies.
As a teacher, I believe in building relationships based on students’ needs, strengths, and cultural differences. All of my students learn best when they are part of a community, everyone feels accepted, and individuality is encouraged. I plan to incorporate these same ideas when embarking on my new role as a supervisor. Building a relationship with each of my staff members will allow them to feel empowered and lead to a cooperative teaching and learning environment. In turn, this will foster an active learning community.
When children are little they always have dreams of what they want to be when they grow up. Some kids want to be ballerinas, firemen, and astronauts. for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to be a teacher. The areas I wanted to teach have always deferred over the years, but my love for teaching has always stayed the same. I remember when I was younger, I would force my siblings to play teacher with me.
As a teacher I plan to be organized and consistent. With the children on this schedule, they will learn time management and consistency from me doing this. However, it is important to be a teacher because teachers are some of the people who are going to leave an impact on the students. Educators are the ones who are going to give life lessons, that in the long run, are going to teach us to be a better person. As children grow up, they will have many different teachers in their life, and one or two of them are going to make a huge difference in their life.
When I first started teaching, it was exciting. I loved education and working with young people. I was very idealistic and as corny as it may sound, I thought in my own way I was changing the world. Through the years, my initial excitement turned to stress and anxiety.
I want to become a teacher because I was inspired by my hig school teacher when I was a learner, so I want to inspire my learners as the way my hig school teacher did to me. I want to become a positive role model to all my children because same children they don’t have a good background about how important education is, so I like to change that and gives them positive information and confidence about education. I like seeing children being able to enjoy the subject and understand what I’m teaching them. I want to become one of those teachers who want to take education to next level.
In order for students to feel powerful, they need to have some type of motivation from their teachers. I believe that motivation is a key component in learning. Not only is it the case that motivation helps learning; it is essential for learning. A powerful motivator that I have seen work with students is when they are given the option
Curtis White once said, “Anyone can be a teacher or a professor, but not everyone can influence you to strive for excellence and make a difference in the world around you.”. When I think about what teachers influenced me, I think about what got my stubborn self up and talking. What made them so special that I was so excited to go to their class or school the next day? What made them so special that I would actually do my homework and study for their test? Not the fact, that I wanted good grades because lord knows I don’t have to study to do that.
Fingers trembling, the student punches the buttons of the calculator. It would be easy for the student to say “I don’t know,” and hope that I, the teacher, move on to someone else. Slowly the student reads the calculator output. I listen, then smile. The relief flooding through the student is evident, along with something new—confidence.
I have always had a passion for teaching others helping with problems that they cannot solve but that I can. I know my willingness to help others and put them before myself is a trait I inherited from my mother. She was an Art teacher for many years at different districts and different grade levels until she became sick and was forced to retire. I loved hearing the success stories about her kids and the different awards they were winning in their art competitions. I loved seeing her excitement when she told me about a new project she had come up with that her students couldn’t wait to start.
