Education : My Personal Statement Of Teaching And Education

Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous

I was home on leave after serving 15 months in Iraq, spending time with my family and connecting with people I haven’t seen in a while. My mother arranged for me to speak to my brother’s 3rd-grade class since they had written letters to me while I was deployed. It was something I felt that I owed since the letters were cheerful and really helped when I was over there. I was a bit nervous because I have never done something like this before, public speaking was not a strong suit of mine. While visiting with the students and answering questions I fell in love with being in the classroom. After finishing my commitment to the military, I continued my education and got my degree in Elementary Education. I am currently finishing up my 3rd year in teaching 2nd grade and love every minute of it.

As a Case Manager and Educator, I am self-motivated with helping kids, elderly, and people with disabilities from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, who voices are unheard and often are ignored.

Learning occurs when a newborn first opens its eyes and observe its surroundings, and like a sponge absorbs the new information. It is a process that takes place through observation, participation and comprehension. Becoming a teacher isn’t a career that I first envisioned for myself as I grew up and went through the stages of ‘identity’, however, it has become the only career I can now see myself as. We become teacher by learning from teachers and our teachers became teacher by learning from their teachers and so on. When thinking about the aspect of becoming part of that cycle, I can’t help and wonder what my future students will teacher to others as they grow up, be it as a teacher, a parent or an adult part of society. For me, becoming a teacher is a means to create possibilities and accept the status of a lifelong learner. A new door opens for children as they develop and obtain knowledge by overcoming obstacles, discovering and exploring their surroundings and pursuing their dreams as both a student and an individual.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude May 9, 2015 from Brescia University with a Bachelor’s of Science, majoring in Elementary Education P-5. I am applying for the available elementary teacher positions open at Mary Carrico Catholic School. I am a new teacher and I would love to make a positive impact on students’ lives in the community, by being their teacher.

I firmly believe that teaching is a noble and very fulfilling profession. We cannot deny the importance of education in our everyday life - I want a career in teaching and impart knowledge, and thus contribute to the society. I had my first teaching experience a few years back when I became part of the Student Associates Scheme (SAS); a program created by the British Government for University students in the UK. I was trained and assigned to work at Longhill Secondary School, where I taught Mathematics under the guidance of a certified teacher. By the end of this project, I had a more detailed understanding of the diverse roles and responsibilities of a teacher - I became greatly interested and wanted to learn more about teaching so I independently started applying for internships in schools. I interned at Unity College as an English teacher, and I gained invaluable insight into the rewards and challenges that teaching offers. I was also a Student Ambassador while I was in University hence I am confident about my communication skills; I believe a simple way of building a healthy and friendly relationship with students (and colleagues) is by being respectful and likeable. From experience, I have

Education is the process of learning that can take place anywhere and at any time. I believe that creativity and activity as well as books and lessons are essential to the learning process. As a teacher, I hope to instill in the children a sense of knowledge and self-worth that will remain with them throughout their lives.

Growing up as a child of teenaged parents, I understood the meaning and challenge of poverty. I learned that through education there is an improvement of life. While everyone has the right to seek an education, its attainment is a great privilege. I knew that I could not take education for granted or was it optional.

As a child born in the U.S. growing up with parents who come from a completely different country, knowing a language that is distinct from what they know, and with an education similar to a child in the third grade. It was very hard to learn how to read or write in my early childhood. My parents would have helped if they knew good enough English and have had a higher education level than a third grader but unfortunately they did not. There was a huge language gap between my parents and I. They would speak in their Guatemalan dialect, I would be in school speaking in English, and come back home to my parents speaking Spanish, it was extremely challenging in my adolescent years. Yes, I had teachers in school that would help me out, but there were so many other students that needed their help as well. I never really had a teacher that really influenced me into getting better. Many of them thought I was doing okay in the subject and did not think I needed help at all. As I grew older language arts and writing was not my strongest subject throughout elementary school, even to this day it is still not my best subject. I did not care much of the subject because I could never really understand on what I am supposed to write or do, what I would do is do the bare minimum enough to get me an A or a high B, because it was not the subject that I was the most interested in. Fortunately, there was the PBS network, on the T.V. we had, with animated shows such as Martha Speaks, Super Why,

As an aspiring teacher, education is very important to me. Education is the foundation on which society is built upon and it plays a major role in everyday life. It also provides opportunities to advance through society and succeed in life. Each teacher has his or her own unique goals that he or she strives to achieve in the classroom. I view all areas of education with a large degree of relevance, but specifically target broadening my students’ knowledge and advancing their communication skills. Knowledge and communication will aid students and help them grow as they continue their education. I will reach my goals of proficient knowledge and adequate communication in my classroom by efficiently communicating with colleagues and students and conforming my technique to each student’s individual needs.

In researching this assessment I looked at a lot of essays and papers about teaching and education

The invention of writing and schooling is the greatest invention that we as a society have ever created. As an individual, I believe that education is by far the most significant aspect of being a human being. I believe that is always important to challenge ourselves, no matter how difficult the challenge may be. Throughout my entire life I have been a student and I will remain a student even when I become a teacher. As the famous saying goes: “you learn something new every day.” Education does not end when one finishes a class, when one graduates, when one begins their career, instead it continues until the end of their lives. The ultimate purpose of education is to search for knowledge.
