Jennifer , Turning A Global Teacher of 2020

My choice to become a teacher was not made lightly. This decision was a
culmination of a process of reflection about what I wanted to do with my life. I
have chosen a career in education because I believe that it is one of the most
important functions performed in our culture. I believe that teachers
individually and collectively cannot only change the world, but to improve
it. Within the process of teaching, I hope to find both personal and professional
renewal. I want to be a part of a noble profession with the hope of one day
being counted among those in whom future teachers find inspiration. Many of
the great teachers that I have had throughout my education have become my
heroes and role models. I began to understand in high school and college that
great teachers have skills that I wanted to learn. I want to follow their
examples. I remember that great teachers were good at explaining content,
were patient yet firm with students, were always fair, set high expectations,
knew how to motivate, and used humor appropriately. They were great
communicators who had a command of their subject matter content. This is the
type of teacher that I intend to become. However, I understand that my
personal teaching style will evolve as I draw on my own strengths, knowledge,
skills, values, and experiences. I want children to learn in a safe and comfortable
environment so that their self-esteem will be increased. A high self-esteem will
enable them to strive for and accomplish any goals they set for themselves. As a
teacher, I will play a part in helping them to do that. I will have the privilege of
shaping future parents and productive members of society. For all these reasons,
I ask myself, what better job could there be. My answer is none because
teaching is more than a job. It is an important contribution I can make to better
our society, and I am excited about the opportunity to do so. An excellent
teacher is not just someone who explains. Not someone who just
demonstrates. An excellent teacher is someone who inspires. An excellent
teacher goes the extra mile. They can take any individual and make them
believe, truly believe, that their hopes and dreams are within their reach. An
excellent teacher will not let a student walk away until every question is fully
explained and completely understood, no matter how long it may take. If the day
ends and the student still has not understood the lesson plan, an extraordinary
teacher would brainstorm. He or she would think, “How can I explain this concept
to the student so that he or she can better understand it?” I intend on being that type of teacher. The chance
to inspire another human being is not an opportunity it’s a challenge. There are too many educators that
haven’t accepted this challenge, and it needs to change. Students go to school because they are forced
to. Many times, learning is not their top priority, but the teacher’s job is to teach. This is the reason I want to
become a teacher…. I want to inspire the children who will represent the future of our great nation.
Ma’am Maybelline “As a Role Model”

I have always valued the role I play as a teacher

in the growth of my students. While the
importance of academic growth in students is
obvious, I also recognize the importance of each
student’s social and emotional growth as well. As
a teacher, I have a powerful influence on my
students’ growth in each of these areas of their
lives, and I was able to see the importance of this
influential role during this past week. There was a
case of bullying involving several of my students
this week. Apparently, there was an escalation of
name calling in the lunchroom involving several of
our students and several students from a different
classroom. The students in my class refrained
from sharing what happened for some time, but
they eventually pulled my cooperating teacher
aside and let her know. They were obviously
upset because of it. When my cooperating
teacher filled me in on this situation, she
explained that she was going to hold a class
meeting at the end of the day. I was curious as to
how my cooperating teacher was going to
address this situation and how the class/students
involved were going to react.

 Ma’am Paterna” A Balance of Friend and Teacher”

Something that I’ve been learning

throughout student teaching is the
importance of connections, and by
connections, I mean with the kids.
While it is important to establish and
maintain the role as a teacher in their
eyes, it is also so important to connect
with them and be their friend to some
extent. I have had teachers throughout
my life who do a great job at this, and I

with those teachers who really took the
time to get to know me and showed me
that they cared. To be honest, I
normally feel like I do this well with
my students throughout all the
placements I have had thus far. I felt
like I had a slightly more difficult time
doing this as much as I’d like to this
semester. I feel like I came in kind of
intimidated by the fact that they were
gifted students and were older than any
other grade I’ve worked with before, so
I think that I subconsciously had this
expectation that they were going to be
unwilling to connect with me and were
going to care more about what I teach
them as opposed to our relationship.
With the being said, I am happy to say
that I was wrong and that these kids are
longing for connections that I’ve been
so grateful to give to them.
