A large group of students in the United States makeup a large population of English language learners. Students who are considered English language learners undergo many challenges in their education, and without the necessary support and resources from their educators it can make it hard for them to succeed. A teacher plays a significant role in the success of a child, and it is crucial for them to be able to provide the proper education to students whose first language is not English. It is also very important for teachers to understand the challenges that these students are facing. Having empathy towards the students allows for the teacher to create better connections and relationships to better help them.

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.
On September 14th one of Professor Dresser’s former students visited our Education class to discuss what it is like to be a teacher. Ian Cole is now a teacher at a private school in Yonkers. Ian has taught many subjects including social studies, science, and gym. Also, he has taught grades six to eight over the past two and a half years. He expressed the amount of experience he has had with student behavior, teaching techniques, and student learning methods.
Staring the beginning of my career as a teacher, I'm moving towards having my own classroom. Being a head teacher you are in charge of what is begin taught in the classroom, and find ways to prepare the children for the next coming years. Working with children ages three too five is the beginning of the child's life, were its important age on who they are as an individual. The school I would like to work with would be public, a spot were all children are welcome, no matter the back ground or were their from. Children at this age are excited to go to school, and meet new friends this age is were their spirits beginning and their enthusiastic.
While reflecting over why I want to become a teacher, I went back and looked at some of my old schoolwork from elementary school, and in the "What I Want to be When I Grow Up" section, I always, without a doubt put Teacher. At the time, I think I really just liked the idea of designing a classroom all to myself, but now it has become so much more. The possibility of changing a child's life and helping him or her to realize how much potential he or she has is what drives me to become a teacher. I want to teach in a low-income Urban school, where there are more children that need guidance and someone to look up to. I believe the education and influence of school early on has the ability to affect a child's ability and motivation to complete school.
My teaching philosophy is to develop young children into self-thinking, self-controlling, caring, and independent students. I will create a safe environment for each student to learn, explore, and play. I will have an all-inclusive classroom, no matter what their background, ethnicity, and culture. My guiding principles are that students should be encouraged to work toward their potential and appropriate behaviors should be acknowledged and students are expected to treat one another with respect and dignity. Recognizing the importance of forming a partnership with the parents in order to create a positive experience for the students.
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
Being a teacher may not look hard but it sure can be. According to Mrs. Munguia a teacher who teaches success 101, sophomore English, and AP psychology, “All things considered its rewarding, but the its stressful and a little tiring at times.” The interview started with a basic opening up question, asking her why she wanted to become a teacher. She replied like every great teacher should with, “I’ve always enjoyed working with young people.
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?
I believe that teaching is an opportunity to change the world one student at a time and is one of the most important jobs available to regular people. Being a teacher is a blessing and having the opportunity to work with amazing kids and influence their understanding is the most valuable skill I have to offer. Teaching means giving students the skills to succeed in their future endeavors. All students have the ability to learn and should have access to a quality education. Every student should know that they are special and that they can achieve success.
It is my firm belief that my students should be exposed to a quality education. As an educator, I will keep in mind that in the field of learning there is always new information on teaching and learning. So, it my job to keep a breath with information and technology that relates to the learning and teaching process. I also believe that as a teacher it is my responsibility for making certain that my students are given a fair opportunity to learn.
