I Am Interested On Being A Third Grade Teacher

Working with children and supporting their learning is my passion. I have always been inspired by the opportunity teaching offers each child to reach their full potential; which understandably plays a crucial part in children achieving lifelong learning.

My motivation for pursuing graduate studies specifically at University of Maryland is because of the rigor and quality of instruction from the College of Education that I received firsthand. I had the privilege of undertaking the Elementary Education program as an undergraduate at University of Maryland. The program proved to be rigorous with high expectations from professors, mentors, and supervisors. Although the demands of the program were high, I was fully equipped with the knowledge and skills

The educational experience helps in this development by presenting students with many challenges, choices, and obstacles along the way. A college degree is a huge accomplishment and most companies know that intense work and dedication was put into earning that degree. Employers also know that college graduates are taught to express their thoughts clearly in speech and in writing and to make informed decisions. That is why most college graduates are viewed as professionals upon entering an organization.

I have always known that it is my passion to help people. This is why upon graduating I attended Mohawk College to pursue a career as an Educational Assistant. After receiving my diploma I began my career helping children with special needs. On a daily basis I have interactions with social workers and children who are involved with the Catholic Children’s Aid Society. I have had many eye opening experiences during my time spent with them. I have worked alongside our school’s Social Worker and have gained insight into mental health. Being an E.A. is rewarding, but I have come to the realization that I aspire to do more for children in need; I wish to become a social worker.

I hope to be granted and pursue the Education Studies Minor here at Gettysburg College for a handful of reason. Currently, I am a Political Studies major with a concentration in comparative politics and International Relations. While I not only enjoy the Political Science field, I have always had the rooted interest in the education field for many years now. Dating back to senior year of High School, one of the courses I took was a course called “Teachers for Tomorrow” which touched upon the basics of becoming a teaching both in a lecture and in classroom setting. Part of the course was a weekly visit to a local public elementary school in which I was able to work alongside a second grade teacher as her “teacher assistant”. I not only enjoyed this experience with the elementary students, but the class as a whole as well. Additionally, this past summer, I spend four weeks overseas at Arlington Academy of Hope, an elementary school located in the village of Bududa, in eastern Uganda. While at Arlington Academy of Hope, I worked alongside current Arlington County teachers as well as current Arlington County Principles, teaching these elementary students basic math and English, while also visiting satellite schools in the greater Bududa region. I was not only the youngest member of this trip by more than 20

I am Brianna Downer and my goal is to become an elementary school teacher. Becoming a teacher is not something that happens overnight. This is a process where you have to know the requirements, challenges, and also the pros and cons of being a teacher. My goal will be achieved at the end of my journey.

I am an educator for over 10 years and want to return to academic study and undertake graduate studies in Educational Leadership at the University of Maryland, as part of the Prince Georges County Public School-University of Maryland STEM Leadership Program. The purpose of this program is to excel professionally and grow as an effective diversified educational leader.

I found the correct website and starting filling out an application. I had all my teacher recommendations and essays prepared just in time for the due date. Unfortunately, I told my mom not to turn in my application because I was afraid of getting rejected. I have been told that when I was a newborn all I wanted was to be

This program will allow me develop my teaching skills in two different levels, middle school and high school. I have chosen to apply to this program in order to pursue this certification to be able to achieve one of my goals. This goal is to learn and include more teaching techniques integrating the latest technology in my classroom. Not only this, but I feel that all types of knowledge experiences are helpful towards my profession. This certification program would definitely allow me to gain a bountiful amount of knowledge that I am going to be able to spread to the young leaders of our

Getting to this point in my academic career has been a balancing act. I spent most of my time as a part time student earning my Associates while working full time. Getting the most out of my education was always my primary goal and it meant working hard and managing my time well. I graduated with Faculty Honors and am currently progressing towards graduating Cum Laude at Western. I was able to not only take a heavy course load, but manage it well and remained flexible and grounded in the reality of what I could handle. Determined to expand my knowledge I wanted to not only to take a variety of courses during early undergraduate work, but as I

My primary non-academic activities and interests lie in the health and wellness area. I had the opportunity to work in a Co-Operatively Owned Natural Grocery during a summer, and that was what really gave me a passion in the field. I was able to see a whole different side of food’s effects on our bodies. The others who were working in the store had so much knowledge and experience with organic and natural foods. They were so passionate about educating others that they didn’t hesitate to teach and explain to me the importance of it all. Since then, I have become a dual degree student in both Management through the Kelley School of Business and Dietetics through the School of Public Health. With these degrees, I hope to work on the business side

A Middle School teacher is responsible for instruction on different subjects including science, english, and math while working with their students in a classroom setting. To become a Middle School Teacher, there are a few requirements one must accomplish first. The minimum entry level education is a bachelor's degree, however, some employers require a masters degree within a set amount of time for professional teachers. You must also maintain a state issued license or certificate. The most common path students choose is to get a bachelor's degree with a major in the subject they wish to teach, a minor in education, practice classroom experience, and finally obtain a state license. You must also have a certain number of credit hours in the

Most of my life I have been surrounded by children especially my cousins, nieces and nephews.

While preparing for my career, While searching for opportunities I took initiative and worked with professionals, children, and peers. Specific experiences that are beneficial are working with OSU Extension Services, URAP, and with Salem Health. While volunteering at OSU Extension Services I learned a lot about nutrition outreach. I helped at the local food bank, assisted in nutrition classes for both adults and children, and helped at an elementary school. The opportunity to work for Extension as the instructor for the Spanish nutrition class arised, I am learning a lot and it has helped my public speaking skills and confidence. I learned about what it feels like to be a professional and have those responsibilities. In addition, working as the URAP Scholar is giving me research experience related to nutrition. I’m getting to be part of a team and collaborate with OSU Dietetic Interns in their research. Working as a nutrition services associate at Salem Health is also a wonderful opportunity that allows me to be around the dietetic field. There, I learn about diets while working with also having patient interactions. Throughout my experiences I gained teamwork experience, problem solving skills, and improved my time
