Education Is A Unique Experience For Every Child Who Enters A Classroom

Teaching is not merely about methods used and material presented in the classroom, but about shaping students’ lives to help them construct a firm foundation for a successful future. I desire to teach my students basic life skills as well as challenge them to set and reach their highest goals.

Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence’s (MI theory) is a valuable resource for teachers, if they understood how they could apply this in the classroom (Snowman & McCown, 2012). In this class, there are multiple intelligences observed amongst the students; however, there is minimal differentiated instruction to allow the students the best opportunities for success. It is critical that teachers understand that their teaching methods may not be wrong, but they

It is my sincere hope that every student should look forward to coming into the classroom ready for new adventures and a whole new world of information every day. Education continually brings us new adventures just waiting for us to experience its wonder and possibilities. I believe that students, when presented with a wide variety of interesting lessons, can become interested and motivated in a way that they never have before.

I hope to build a relationship with every student I teach and let them know that their individual talents and personalities are appreciated. I believe that every student can learn when they are accepted for whom and where they are in their educational journey. Every student has potential to learn and should not be discouraged by personal setbacks. I hope to inspire Dweck’s philosophy of a growth mindset in my students where they believe that they can learn through dedication and hard work. Effective learning requires collaboration between teacher, students, and parents grounded in mutual trust and respect. Therefore I believe that the teacher should also have a “growth mindset” and take feedback from students, peers, and parents in order become a better

I believe each and every student is capable of learning and achieving academic success, however some children require individualized support to ensure their success. A strength I posses that supports high academic expectations for all Houston ISD students is my ability to motivate and empower young children of all types to want to be successful. I am committed to creating a classroom culture where high expectations are set and most importantly constantly communicated to students. I have the ability to lead and differentiate engaging lessons where the diverse learning needs of all students are supported. I am a teacher that believes high academic expectations will be met when lessons are presented in a way that suits all learning styles. I use classroom management strategies to set students up for success.

Having a student- centered classroom means students are involved in their own learning. A classroom that is student-centered is a classroom in which the students are actively contributed to what they are learning and what the teacher is teaching. In order to create a student centered classroom there must be a safe learning environment in which students feel safe to express themselves with the help of positive reinforcement as well as students knowing it is okay to make mistakes A classroom in which is centered on cooperative learning. Students might be working in groups and discussing information over what they are learning. While they are in groups the students are participating and as well as motivated to show what they know. While being in groups the students are interacting and being social while at the same time demonstrating their knowledge. Student-centered classrooms have students engaged in discussions.

In order for my students to succeed I must have goals set for myself. My first action is to continually grow in my

In the classroom it is important to collect information regarding students learning styles, readiness level, and what hinders the student from learning. Creating instructions take time due to students having different learning styles. Collecting data will help support the differentiated instructions that teachers will use in the classroom to ensure all students have the capabilities to gain the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in the classroom. Before gathering data on students, teachers must be aware of their strengths and weaknesses to be able to help students beyond their understanding. There are eight multiple intelligences teachers can use to incorporate differentiated instructions to increase student learning. Gaining this kind of data will give teachers the information needed to guide students throughout the classroom.

Accepting each learner ' unique ability and goals, a teacher can accommodate each student’s individual need to encourage academic goals. Teaching as always been perceived as learning as a reciprocal process. When educators

I am a self-directed, enthusiastic educator with a passionate commitment to student growth, development and learning. I believe that education is a key to success for all students. As a teacher, I hope to motivate students to realize their inner strengths and abilities and to discover what truly inspires them. My aim is to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while creating confidence within themselves to insure that they grow to become intelligent, independent individuals who will become successful leaders of our future

Traditional styles of teaching that focus too heavily on lectures that will only benefit one or two of the eight intelligences, are shown to have two of major drawbacks. It marginalizes and excludes learners of different styles and it doesn’t evoke a passion or curiosity for learning that results in an increased dropout rate.

I believe that every person/student is very unique and brings a lot ot the table in order for everyone to learn from. The teacher needs to create a safe and welcoming learning environment when at school. The students should feel comfortable when coming to class and find that their teacher cares about their education. When caring for and loving the students in the class the teacher is respecting them and welcoming them with open arms. Through this, I will work with the students in helping them get where they need to be academically and teaching on their level of learning they are in. I will go to all lengths to help them grow in and grasp what is being taught if they are behind not comprehending the

Gardner’s theory implied that people have one or more intelligences that determine how they learn best. This theory, like other learning style theories, opposed general ability learning. It is student centered and has been implemented in curriculums across the country (Gardner, 1993).

Howard Gardner said, “Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligence.” Howard Gardner has written a book about a theory he called the Multiple Intelligences theory, in which Gardner states that people have one main intelligence from which they learn. There are eight different intelligences, according to Gardner, explaining how people learn best and the different strengths of learning they exhibit. Although Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory has been around since the 1980s, it is still relevant and useful to those in all areas of the education process. Some people believe that Howard Gardner’s theory is too broad and difficult to write a curriculum around. It has been proven, however, in certain instances, that the utilization of this theory raises students’ scores and their success rates.

With multiple intelligence, students come to school with different educational needs. Not all students learn the same way so as an educator, one needs to be able to teach multiple ways on a single topic to ensure that all students have been engaged. There are multiple ways to teach a single topic, however, Gardner focused on three approaches:
