About Me
I am a student at the University of South Alabama and I am expecting to graduate in the Fall of 2010. I have chose to major in the elementary education because of my desire to be a teacher and change the life of each child I come in contact with. I believe I will be a great teacher due to the fact that I love children and I long to help and make sure that EVERY student succeeds no matter what it takes. I hope to have high expectations through both my ups and downs throughout my teaching career.
My Teaching Philosophy
I feel the most important aspect of teaching is that each student deserves the chance to succeed. No matter their race, gender, social or economic status, it is their right, as a student, to have the chance to succeed. I also feel that a teacher should be unbiased toward each student in her classroom. It is unfair to the student if you see a flaw in something they cannot help or change. They have nothing to do with the environment in which they live; but as a teacher, I have everything to do with what goes on while they are at school. It then becomes my responsibility to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
I am very committed to teach each student to the best of my ability. If I cannot teach the students, I am failing them not myself. If a student has a question that I do not know the answer to, I am more than happy to help them find it. Letting my students see that I do not know everything shows them that it is okay to ask questions and learn more.
I also believe in being a leader to my students. By showing leadership skills and being a good leader, others will want to follow in that path, which in turn produces more leaders. Leadership is a quality that I believe every student should strive to achieve, and I hope to help each student develop a desire to do so.
I want each and every one of my students to love school and have a love for learning. Through all of my creative lessons and my love of teaching I hope to create this atmosphere for all my students.
Communicating with other Teachers
I feel like it is a very important for teachers to communicated with each other to help each other become the best teacher possible. Technology today gives you many different opportunities to communicate with other teachers. I believe through others blogs, through e-mails, and other web pages teachers can really use these things to be a great teacher. During my first hard years of teachers I will be able to be reassured from veteran teachers that I will make it through the year. Teacher websites, that are normally composed by teachers, will help me to find things that I can use in my classroom. I will also use all these resources to help me find great ideas to use in my classroom. The other part of technology that I feel will be great in helping me communicate with other teachers is following their blogs. I think this is a great way to also get more ideas from other teachers but also maybe even our classes could communicate with each other. I think this allows the students to have a chance to learn and grow from each other. I believe that every teacher should use technology to the best of their ability to make their classroom great and always making things better!
