Developing A Strong Classroom Community

I believe that children are my first priority and I will do my best to nurture the inherent gifts that each one brings and shares with me. I believe what greatly makes a difference in a child’s life is a teacher who cares about each child and who teaches from the heart to touch or challenge every aspect of a child’s personality, cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and cultural during his or her journey with me. I also believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, gain knowledge, and be educated. I will encourage the child to learn and develop at his or her own level. With the guidance, scaffolding, and learning, they will gain knowledge and explore the world in a safe

I enjoy working with children and how much they learn and grow. I have been teaching both, bilingual and regular education for 16 + years. I taught fifth, second and first grade at School 13 and currently third grade for 10 years at Eugenio Maria de Hostos MicroSociety School in the District of Yonkers. I am an active member in this community and serve as a Targeted Instruction (After School Program) teacher and a PTA member every school year. On Saturdays I serve as a Catechist at Saint Peter’s –Saint Dennis’ Church. It is my intention to continue serving others for many years and attend to conferences and workshops to improve my knowledge, reading books to stay current on best practices in education and be a lifelong learner is important to me and those who I

First, I have a passion to teach younger students and help shape their early development. I think that children are highly impressionable in their earlier years and I want to play a role in their early development.

I have always known that I wanted to make a difference in society by becoming a teacher, due to my love of children and helping people understand various topics. I have worked with children by babysitting, instructing karate, leading children’s Sunday school, and working at a summer camp. By doing these activities I have established bonds with diverse groups of children, but at the same time, I kept a professional and respectable boundary. I have successfully worked inside a planning department alongside people of all ages and personalities in planning activities and lessons for kids.

My personal objectives for teaching is to connect the dots for the students when they learn new things and find ways to integrate what they knew and continuing to learn (Moran, Burson & Conrad,

Through my experience working with kids and my courses at Austin Community College and Concordia University I’ve established a philosophy of education that I intend to use in my future classroom. Being entrusted with shaping young minds, but also sculpting these children and lighting their way is an enormous responsibility that I intend to take the utmost care with. I plan to fall in love daily with my students and the profession that I feel God has called me to do. Teaching will forever be my calling and my plan is use everything that I have learned thus far and continue to learn to aide my students in become the person that God wants them to be.

As an educator I will ensure that the lesson plans are relatable, engaging, and they will in fact impact the lives if each student.

With my passion for working with children, I will become an influential and inspiring teacher that creates a lively classroom atmosphere for developing children who have strong moral character and value diversity, faith, and altruism. I will provide learning experiences which go beyond academic achievement to educate children as whole people who strive for excellence and will contribute to improving their

Although I will always see myself as a teacher, I have vast experiences across the educational spectrum. I have extensive knowledge in school law, budget preparation and design, and building operations. However, my true passion is curriculum and instruction. I have a sincere belief that it is incumbent upon us as educators to challenge our students to reach their fullest potential. I have worked hard each day to truly help our students, staff, and community members throughout my career. I have done this through a caring nature that is both honest and genuine. I am a proven leader that will continue to work tirelessly for this division with integrity. Above all, I will never forget that our children will always come first. I will seek ways to preserve all elements

Education is an important time for children. The purpose of education is to aid children as they develop and teach them skills they will need in life. The educator’s purpose is to facilitate this wonderful feat. I will create a safe, multicultural, and diverse learning environment in order for all children to feel comfortable and develop. My personal education philosophy is to be an advocate for the children and their needs.

I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. captured the fundamentals of teaching when he said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” My goal as a teacher is to allow the students to apply what they learn in the classroom to the outside world. I personally believe that school should be a place for the students to come and not have to worry about feeling embarrassed/bullied. It should ultimately be a place of understanding and learning.

I want my students to know that I value their education and success. My students will know that education is their foundation to the future. By being successful in the classroom, the students will go on to be successful in life. Students are like sponges and soak up any and all information provided to them. My overall goal is to make sure that my students know how important their education is because they are our society’s future. The students will grow up to be our future doctors, lawyers, and presidents. The sky is the limit, but in order for them to succeed, their education comes first and

My freshman year I had the privilege to be a student in the CEID 111 class. Being in this class has taught me the details of becoming a teacher and the history behind it all. This class made my passion for teaching grow even more. I would like to teach the youngest generation. By starting with younger children, I would like to show the community around me that times may be hard, however not to give up

It is my hope to provide students with the type of support that I never received. To be able to encourage them when they go home and their neighborhood peers ridicule

From the time I was a seven years old till the current day, as a Sophomore at Benedictine University, I have wanted to become a teacher. The four years of high school, Oswego High School, I truly become passionate to become a teacher. I took the necessary general education classes, and my elective classes learning about child development and early childhood education.

From the first day or first grade up to now, I have become a success student, which I can’t wait to become teacher I want to be an aspirational teacher one day to my future students.
