Recommended: Teacher and student relationship
Teaching can be challenging. Nevertheless, there is great joy and reward to be gained through committing to it and inspiring children to pursue their goals. Teaching will enable me to shape and empower the minds of the next generation by sharing my knowledge and skills. My A level studies are preparing me well for a degree in education.
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.
I chose to pursue the teaching field because of my experience training new nurses and C.N.A.’s at the nursing home I previously worked at. There were students that would come to observe and learn the procedures and skills needed to work in a nursing home. My bosses knew to send them to me because they saw the passion I had for teaching skills in the nursing field. So when I knew that I was going to have those students, I became overjoyed because I knew that as they learned, I was actually making a difference in their careers in the medical field. The passion for teaching began early for me in life.
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.
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
Teaching was not something I originally thought of when I started school, but when I got accepted here I realized that I could be the Mrs. DeWeese to another child and be able to influence them the same way that I was. Teaching and helping middle school age children is my dream and I feel that I have the patience and passion to be able to teach them. With all the different types of bullying these days, especially cyber-bullying and peer-pressure I hope that one day I am able to become a school counselor; so that I can help more students who struggle with the pressures of middle
I read a couple of blog posts from former teachers addressing the concerns about the teaching profession and why they or other teachers left the profession. One post was written by Melissa Bowers on what made those around her including herself, leave the profession. She stated in her post that she “watched people leave the profession in droves. Some abandoned ship before they even boarded. Some hung in there for a handful of years before eventually succumbing to cynicism and fatigue” (Bowers
If there is one thing that the education field should have, it is passion. Passion to believe in your students, passion to believe in the curriculum, and passion for seeing your students succeed is a truly special characteristic to have as a teacher. Although I have love for my future students, I realized I have a lot to learn about being a teacher. This isn’t an “easy” field to go into like people would like to think. While going through the class, there were a few concepts that
I believe our children are our future and each of them has the potential to bring something unique and special to this civilised world. Teaching is an important and honourable occupation that demands passionate and commitment. There are dreaming, learning, settling, laughing, sharing and loving every day in classrooms. A teacher has the opportunity to impact on childrens’ lives in a positive way; this is a huge privilege that should be taken seriously.
I want to be a classroom teacher because I believe it is my calling. Throughout my academic journey, I have met several teachers who have impacted my life dearly. These teachers taught me beyond the standards required for me to learn by the state they taught me how to be a good citizen and person as well. I learned from these teachers that teachers continue to learn even as they teach their students, I want to be a life-long learner like the wonderful teachers I have had. I want to be a classroom teacher to help students grow to their full potential and learn from my classroom experiences to become a better teacher.
My goal of teaching is to help students learn to appreciate the beauty of mathematics and to develop the ability to analyze and then solve problems. It is critical for studying mathematics to understand the profound ideas hiding behind the concepts and theories. I try to illustrate the original ideas such as how mathematicians think and solve problems. Also, a successful classroom consists of enthusiastic students ready to participate in discussions. The students should feel always comfortable in asking questions whenever having confusion or comments.
I decided to pursue a career as a teacher because I can’t remember a time where I wanted to do any other job more. It is easy to become discouraged about going into education because teachers don’t make the most money and they aren’t always valued as much they should be. People constantly remind me of the “downfalls” of being a teacher but it has never scared me away. I figure that those people don’t have what it takes to be an educator. I think that all students deserve to have a teacher that chooses to be there everyday because they genuinely care about seeing them succeed.
Coming out of college, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do for a job. My father was a teacher at a middle school and recommended that I'd do some substitute teaching to get some income during the time that I would search for a job. Over time, substituting at the school my father worked at, I enjoyed the experience of doing different classrooms and interacting with the kids and other teachers. I came to discover, unlike other jobs, teaching allowed the day to be lively and exciting but at the same time very productive, with a lot of purpose, avoiding the monotonous routine. It was also a pleasure to see students understand new concepts and change over a period of time.
Ever since I was a little kid, I have wanted to teach. Every instructor I have had since kindergarten either inspired me to follow their direction, or pushed me to not be a “bad” teacher like them. As I grew older, I realized my preferred profession stemmed from a love a books and a thirst for knowledge. I loved learning, and everything, I learned, I wanted to share with others. People, including close family and friends, as well as semi- strangers would tell me I would make an excellent teacher.
I am pursing a degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I am passionate about education and excited to share the joy of learning with students. The perspective of wonder and sense of excitement that children bring into education motivates me daily. Teaching can leave a lasting impression in a child’s life and offers a special opportunity to shape the bright young minds of future generations. While many professions can be impactful, I believe the qualities of the person in the career position to be the most influential.
