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.
Teaching to the best of my ability
As a teacher I have a job to complete. My job is to teach each and every student and to do this to the best of my ability. When I say this I mean that I will make sure that every student is LEARNING what it is that I am teaching. Many times teachers say "I taught it, they just do not get it." I believe that this is the teacher's fault 100%. As a teacher I will go to the extreme to make sure that all my students are learning what I want them to learn. This may be easier said than done, but I will make sure that I get it done. If I can not make this possible then I am not hurting myself but the students, and I will not allow this to happen! I am positive that throughout my teaching career I will be faced with many different challenges. I will have students who need special attention and a lot of work. I will always make sure I learn and make changes to make sure that each student is learning to the best of their ability. Being a teacher is more than a job, each and every one of your students futures will be in your hands.
