This Semester has gone by very fast and there has been a lot of interesting topics that were discussed that were important for a future teacher to know and have more knowledge of what is to come in the future with how life as a teacher works. Many of these topics were very eye opening to me because you get more in depth with what is happening today and how the schools and teachers work together in order to bring a well balanced education to students. From technology in classrooms to diversity being embraced in schools, it just makes me see that a teacher has a lot on her plate and that they are just as hardworking as another other person in their career. The two discussion that we discussed in class that altered my initial perceptions of teaching …show more content…

So much time and effort has to go into the way a person studying to get the subject down for you to teach later on once they become a teacher and also has to go through training as a student teacher because with that experience, a person has a mentor that can give critical feedback on what a person has to work on and has done correctly. It also helps you grow as a person, more confidence in the way you speak, listen, and act around the children. It helps you get out of your comfort zone to be able leht the students know who is they person they should have their attention to. Without this training, our teachers wouldn’t have the patience and training when something occurs in the classroom such as a fight or behavior issues. Having a credential can also help get other job opportunities such as school counselor, school administrator, state education agency employee. Before taking this class, I never knew you can work for the district as something else other than a teacher. I always thought that with the credential in teaching, you would stay there forever and yes, people can stay, but it's a great opportunity to do something new and use your experiences in a different aspect of the education system. I got the inspiration to become a teacher through a class in high school called ROP preschool and it was a nice experience and it made me change my major from journalism to teaching. I knew just the simple things of teaching such as being a role model to the class, being able to lead students in the right direction towards a better future, having the patience and responsibility to maintain a nice environment, etc. With this class and discussion, I got to see the many opportunities and

These careers are among some of the most important professions that have impacted the world in a major way. Good teachers have taught our presidents to read and write, laid the foundation for our surgeons to perform live-saving surgeries, and provided the basics to our judges and lawyers to keep criminals and delinquents off the streets. There are many people who consider teaching as a minor task, but an ample amount of time goes into becoming a successful teacher. They must take on the task of building positive relationships with their students, while simultaneously providing them with the materials and knowledge to be conducive in an ever-changing society. They must dedicate hard time and work just as in any other

Another thing is some teachers really don’t love what they 're doing. They 're just there to collect their paycheck and leave. You hear all the time about teachers who just give busy work and don’t take the time to actually teach. Now being in college though I can see a huge difference in the teaching of the teachers. They actually care about what they 're teaching you and are willing to help you if you need it.

As I was contemplating on my next move, to keep trudging through the year or quit, I slowly, and when I mean slowly, I am not exaggerating, I finally realized that this is what I was meant to do. I soon learned that every teacher has had a “first year,” so I began to seek advice from veteran teachers on how to get through it all without losing my sanity. The advice and encouragement from those around me allowed me to get through days full of tears and anguish to

Using a textbook to its best advantage seems to be overlooked when we prepare for teaching. I believe there is a place for textbooks, facts, and even lectures in different subjects or level of students. I have noticed that many really don't know what to do with a textbook. They have learned a great deal about cooperative learning, using technology in the classroom, and designing rubrics. While those are good things to know, some traditional classroom techniques are also important.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

In this school I was fortunate to have two great mentors who provided me with many teaching tools. During the six months of student teaching I felt that I was really close to reach the final piece of my puzzle, but life took me to a different route. Right after I finished my student teaching, most of the school districts stopped hiring new teachers due to budgetery restrictions on new falculty, so my only option was to be a substitute teacher, so that’s what I did. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to see all of the spectrums of public education.

Since I was a little kid, I have always had my mind set on being a teacher. Throughout school there have been many teachers that I consider role models and some who have pushed me in the direction of teaching. As I got older, I have discovered the reason why I want to be a teacher rather than the answer I used to give when I was a kid “I like to work with kids”. Teaching to me now is much more than enjoying working with kids. It is about inspiring students and getting them excited about learning.

As I reflect on my experience over this 18-month journey, I realized I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge on being an effective teacher leader. Yet, there is much more I hope to accomplish moving forward. I left the classroom because I had a desire to reach a greater amount of students than I could within the confines of my own classroom. I realized in order to have a larger impact on student performance; I needed to be working with teachers on my campus. Looking toward my future, I now feel like I want to have an even broader impact on teachers than what is possible on my campus alone.
