573 Words3 Pages

Teaching is a profession that makes all other professions possible and is a vital part of our society. No matter what path you choose in life, whether that be college, the military, or the job force, someone is going to be teaching you how to be successful in life. However, it is our job to use the knowledge that has been given to us to open doors for ourselves. Education is the key to success in all walks of life and teaching is giving a key to students to unlock their own potential. In our society, students are taught to memorize a set of rules and to use those rules to pass the test. I believe life is one big test and merely memorizing how to sound competent will only get you so far. I want to teach children to truly think on their own, not just regurgitate what I want them to say. I want to give them the keys to unlock their own dreams by teaching them how to problem solve and reach their own conclusions.

I know I can not possibly adapt every lesson to every learning style but I will try my best to help each student learn at their highest level. I want my students to have plenty of opportunity to earn their grade instead of stressing over one paper, or test. This will allow students to feel less stressed in the classroom and allow for more creative learning to occur. Also by using several different assessment methods I will be catering to students who may not feel comfortable expressing their knowledge in certain formats. Some students are just not good at taking test. I myself experienced this in school and want my students to be able to show their acquired knowledge in other

“Students have lost the will to learn for the sake of knowing and expanding their own minds,” June S. observed. “I see and hear too many students who ask, ‘Is this on the test? Why do we need to learn it the’” (S., June). Our society has conditioned students to focus on a numerical reflecting their ability to regurgitate information, rather than developing knowledge and applying it through critical thinking to produce a true education.

There​ ​are​ ​a​ ​plethora​ ​of​ ​methods​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​teach,​ ​guide and​ ​brainwash​ ​children​ ​due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​their​ ​minds​ ​are​ ​incredibly malleable. Toni Bambara and David Wallace demonstrate two distinct teaching styles that are beneficial when used on certain groups and detrimental when used against others. In “The Lesson”, a teacher tries to open her students minds to the lives beyond their own and in “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College.” the speaker wants their students to choose the way they think. Both teachers want their students to be able to escape the “rat race” that many people find themselves stuck in, and want to teach their students solely for the betterment of the children

On May 21, 2015, I bought a brand new Dodge Ram off the lot. It happened to be the first thing that caught my eye, and it was love at first sight. It was just that one of a kind, beautiful slate blue that I don’t see very often. It had big “muddin” tires, a three and a half inch lift kit, and the big, stout cattle guard on the front. I knew that it would go through anything I wanted it to.

Introduction Theodor Seuss Geisel, prominently known as Dr. Seuss once stated, “It is better to know how to learn than to know” (Sherin, 2013). As I begin my journey towards becoming a teacher these words mean so much to me. There is so much out there to know, one cannot possibly begin to know everything; however, if one knows how to learn one has the ability to know anything. In the classroom, my role as a teacher will exceed teaching children the required curriculum, over and above, motivating them to love to learn and guiding them to become lifelong learners. Students’ Ability to Learn When one is born

For that reason, the students will perform an effective assessment such as writing essays, questionnaires of the readings, and a presentation in class, in order to know if they understand the lessons, or if they have problems in the learning process. Afterward, I will analyze the student’s evaluation, and I will determinate which method of teaching is right for the instruction such as classroom activities, homework, and assessment.

I can remember to this day when I was younger, and every day that I went to school, I would admire my teachers and all their hard work.

I would like to use visual aids such as graphs, paper handouts, films, charts, and group discussions. Again, as an educator, I have to keep in mind that not every student learns the same way. Students come from different backgrounds and as a teacher I have to know their previous knowledge. Students might have misconceptions and presumptions depending on how they have been taught. Introducing different concepts or ideas to students is one of the hardest tasks teachers have, but

The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.

This philosophy lets children bring about concerns or interests on life issues. My lessons will be constructed primarily around the students and their ability to learn. These lessons will help them see real life situations that they will be able to achieve throughout a certain time period. Schools need to prepare students for the types of problems they are going to face outside of the classroom. This will promote students’ eagerness to learn because their interest in the subject will keep their attention.
