From teaching preschoolers in Kindermagic to being an intern at an Intermediate School, teaching has been a big part of my highschool life. Teaching is my favorite thing in the world. I love watching students learn and grow. My role as an educator is to make students feel safe in the classroom and make the learning material fun and creative. In the classroom, I want to promote and incorporate hands-on learning. I believe that students learn best when they engaged in the classroom. I know that my way of teaching will receive positive feedback from students. As a teacher it is important to create a supportive learning environment. One way I can create this learning environment is to teach lessons that go beyond the classroom. Meaning, I want to teach lessons that can provide life skills. This skills can then be used in everyday life. Next, I want to create a strong connection with the parents of students. I think it is important to have this deep connection so they have an understanding on what their child is learning in the classroom. This will also make the school feel open and welcoming. Another way is to collaborate with students. This way I can develop a group agreement …show more content…

I will create bonds with my students by being engaged in the classroom and sharing my opinion on material while being considerate of other viewpoints. In the first couple of days of school, I will get to know my students names. I can also find out their interests, initiate conversations with them about sports, TV, or school activities, or compliment them on their clothing. I also will provide extra help after school. Some students might need that extra bit of one on one time for the material to really sink in. I will also provide my email address so that my students can email me any questions they have. I will check this regularly so that I can address any questions my students have as soon as

I think it is important for teachers to establish relationships with their students; not only for teachers to learn about their students but also for the students to learn about their teacher. It is also important for there to be a real world connection within the classroom. I have found classes most beneficial when the teachers have branched out from the class subject. There are many things that make a teacher “good”, but it is rare to find a teacher who will make a lasting impression on their students.

Build positive relationships with students will help establish a more comfortable classroom environment. Michie have put a great amount of effort at trying to get to know his students on a more personal level, such as through individual home visiting and personal questionnaires about each student’s likes and dislikes about school. In order for students to feel that the information is relevant to them, teachers should make connections and relate to real life examples. Michie uses his past classroom experiences to connect to his students and further sparks class discussion. Michie would try to relate to what the students were going through in their lives to get to know them better.

I want to use different instructional methods to reach all my students. Within my classroom I try to bring fun and creativity to my lessons and anchor charts in order to help my students develop a desire to learn and continue learning.

I believe that teaching should be student-centered, helpful, and memorable for the student. The goal of teaching is not for the teacher to be remembered, but for the content to be and when a student looks back on the class he or she will remember the lessons they learned and the importance of that material. Teaching should be student-centered because the student is whom the teacher is doing it for. If the teaching is focused on the student then they will develop a life long love of learning that will truly benefit them unlike memorizing facts to regurgitate on a test. I chose to be a teacher because of a want to help other people.

In my classroom I make sure every child is looked after and being taught at their own level which they can succeed and grow. Making sure as a teacher you have records of what they know, and what they need to work on is important, so you can see their achievements and goals they can meet.

As an educator, I will take the necessary steps during the first few days/weeks of school to orient myself to the needs and context of my students and to familiarize myself with the schools community. First, I will meet will the administration/principal to speak about the expectations for the year to come. We will discuss the schools overall goals as well as my goals as a teacher. Then, I will familiarize myself with the student's individualized educational program. I will review their annual and/or short term goals, evaluation results, academic achievement, functional performance, learning characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, social and physical development, management needs and related services.

There are a lot of routines and information that these first time students need to absorb as they start their academic careers. By using process oriented feedback in the classroom, coupled with a good dose of encouragement, we are teaching our students that it is okay to make mistakes and that effort you make to reach the answer is more important than the result. For these students believing that they can do it, is the first step. So, I think that my being there to give the type of feedback that positons students to have an open mindset will help them meet the objectives set for them this year, at the very least it will make them feel like trying! I am really comfortable with saying that my being in the classroom has a positive impact on the students, but the alignment between my philosophy and my enactment is a work in progress.

One of the guiding factors of my interactions with students, both in and out of the classroom, is that the student is ultimately responsible for their own learning. As a teacher, I have a responsibility to help students gain an understanding of the material and applications of that material. This doesn’t mean, however, that I should simply provide answers to student questions. I require that students with questions take the responsibility to research those questions on their own (at least in the textbook and other class materials); if that research doesn’t lead them to a solution, we engage in a dialogue to guide them to an answer. If I can teach students how to discover answers on their own, I’ve given them capabilities they can use well past
