My Career As A Teacher

One of the greatest injustices in modern America revolves around the difference in the quality of education students from different classes receive. Children are held back from doing their best in school for simple reasons such as poverty, lack of parental support, teachers who cannot give them individual attention, learning disabilities, undiagnosed mental health disorders, poor health, developmental problems, and so on. It is my personal belief that no child should be held back from achievement for something that can be solved with a treatment plan, individual attention, or a different method of learning. Because of this belief, I decided to pursue degrees in art and education to become a secondary school teacher.

Firstly, as Napoleon Hill once said "It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed", I want to be able to directly provide support for new undergraduates and help them achieve their academic goals as a senior student. As a person who enjoys learning individuals' studying style and discovering different ways of teaching to help others reach their full potential, I believe that there is no job as rewarding as teaching. The satisfying feeling a teaching assistant can gain from helping students who have trouble learning is truly incomparable. Moreover, being a upperclassmanot only do I want share my amazing experience and advice for the new undergraduates but also as many students may feel intimidating to talk to the professors, I want to become a perfect link between the professor and students as well.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

I am currently a student at Barton Peveril college studying: Biology , Psychology and Sociology. I chose these subjects because I enjoy science and I have a particular interest in child development and behaviour,due to these interests I am keen to pursue a career in education as a primary school teacher. I particularly enjoy psychology, so far we have investigated: child development and behaviour. Within this we learnt how children of different ages are able to learn different things at different stages. For example a child does not acquire the cognitive ability to conserve until over the age of seven. This is where they understand that something stays the same in quantity even though its appearance changes.I found this particularly interesting because younger children would think that the amount has changed because the appearance has changed.

“A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart”. Education is one of the most substantial assets to live stably and comfortably today. Many people fail to realize the importance of education. Pursuing a career as a teacher is not an easy journey. However, it is one of the most awarding careers one can pursue. Becoming a key component in another individual’s life is a big step. As a future educator, you must know your role and importance to the adolescents that you will encounter. Many people think that teaching is an easy career. However, from my experiences as a student teacher, I have noticed the hardships in teaching. Teaching is a not just a career, it is a passion. A passion that one must have to reach out to the younger generations and positively influence each student individually.

Given the growing shortage of nurse educators, the career outlook is strong for nurses interested in teaching careers. Nursing schools nationwide are struggling to find new faculty to accommodate the rising interest in nursing among new students. The shortage of nurse educators may actually develop career prospects since it gives a high level of job security. It provides opportunities for nurses who think they could never give up at the bedside to maintain dual roles as educators and direct patient care providers.

I hope you are doing well. I'm writing to you because I need your advice concerning my future major and my education. I'm doing good so far. I have done 56 units all with grade A.Thank you for teaching me how to speak and write in English.

I live for that spark in their eyes. Going from not being able to speak to just saying the word “dog”, being able to hold their breath longer than three seconds, or finding that balance for riding a bike on their own.That magical moment when I witness a child learn/understand something is what drives me to work with children. I am interested in pursuing a career in education because of my passion of working with children and its importance to society.

I am single and do not have any kids. I am going into teaching because I have always had a desire to work with youth. I have six years of experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I worked at a daycare for two years, volunteered at Iowa Western Community College and the Ellis I. Levitt Boys and Girls Club for a year. I now currently a sub for Grand Prairie Independent School District. This year marks my second year as a substitute teacher in the district. The career path of a teacher has crossed my path many times. I decided last year, after subbing for a year that becoming a teacher has always been a part of my destiny. I plan to be the individual leading educational activities in a classroom setting, addressing disciplinary concerns,

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

What does it mean when someone tell you they want to be a future teacher? Some may think you’re making a mistake; saying teachers don’t make a lot of money or have terrible benefits. Being a future teacher to me isn 't about the money or the benefits, it’s about the satisfaction of seeing a child learn something because of you. When someone tells you they want to be a future doctor it 's because they want to help people, that’s exactly what a teacher does---helps people. Teachers are the stepping stones to any career you want to do, without teachers who would you look towards for guidance on how to do anything in life. Being a teacher is my goal in life and I intend on being the best that I can.

I can say that everything that we learned in this course will be useful in my career as a school counselor. However I have to say that chapters 8,9,10 seemed to stick out to me the most. Being able to assess educational ability will be very important as a school counselor. My target population his high school age students, I think that learning as much as I can about cognitive ability test will be very important. For example I have a strong interest in helping students transition in college. Certain assessments such as the SAT and ACT are very useful to me. Being able to provide resources to students to help them score high on SAT and ACT will be a major part of my job. If I decide to work in higher education as a academic advisor I could also need to find resources for students to take the GRE, LSAT, MCATS, CPCE or the NCE. Whatever type of cognitive ability test that may be provided I need to be able to interpret and understand the results of each of these test so that I can help my students apply for the right programs or provide them with resources such as tutors, practice test, etc to help them in any way possible. Though I don’t have interest in working with elementary or middle school be aware of test such as the KRT, MRT6 or the GDO-R. Though the text states that “diagnostic testing, usually administered by the school psychologist or learning disability specialist” as a school counselor I may work in a school that cant afford to have a school psychologist so I

On October 21, 2015 my cooperating teacher mocked me in front of my class. You see I was the student teacher in a second grade classroom at Charles Olbon Elementary School. After class I went home, locked myself in my bedroom and I started pondering my future and my career path. I thought I would not be a good teacher, why did I choose this career path? I choose this path because my friends and family saw me a teacher, but I guess they do not know the real me.

Regarding her career/life work, she said that till this day not being able to finish high school and attend college like she wanted, still affects her in some way or another. She dreamed of becoming a teacher. In accordance to this, when I asked her what was her biggest regret, she said that not finishing school is something she would always regret. Then, I asked her about her work life. Ynes’s first job was at a café her husband owned, but she was the one who worked it along with the help of her mother. She was 22 years old when she started working for the first time. After that, she started working at a grocery store that was her husband’s property as well. She worked in the grocery store for many years until her husband died. After his death, she had to leave the grocery store and take care of his business. He was a lottery retailer, and even though she was not directly working with him she new about the business so it was not difficult for her to take on the ownership.

What are you going to be when you grow up? That’s the question every child is asked their entire life. When I was young I would answer Veterinarian, then teacher, and now archaeologist. Growing up I loved being around animals and I still do, so I wanted to take care of them but then I learned I would also, as a veterinarian, have to put animals down. As soon as I learned that I decided I couldn 't do that job. I began to search for another perfect job and since both my grandma and my mom have worked in a school my entire life I settled on becoming a teacher. It sounded like a fun job, I knew what to expect and was familiar with my elementary school because my family worked there. I spent a lot of time there before and after school helping
