My Career As A Teacher

They switched around my orders last minute and I found myself on USS Anchorage instead of a mountaintop. I had an amazing time on USS Anchorage; I spent time with EOD from different nations, Marines and later NASA scientists. The EOD were onboard for RIMPAC, and they took myself and a few other midshipmen out on one of their small boats to observe a mission. The Marines came aboard later for LA Fleet Week, and the NASA folk were practicing retrieving a space capsule. I got to line handle a capsule into the well deck of the ship, and it was harder than I expected. When I was not running around the ship, I practiced navigation and driving on the bridge. Towards the end of the cruise, one of my friends took the Conn and I took the helm without the OOD’s awareness. For a solid 30 seconds, two midshipmen were driving the 550 ft. ship (at the enlisted’s amusement) until the OOD came back from the bridge wing and kicked me off the helm. If we had more time, we might have tried to turn it 360 degrees. Overall, my experience on USS Anchorage convinced me to become a Surface Warfare Officer

In 2 month of basic training i met the person named duke.he became a mentor.he teach me how to speak english step by step and how to do stuff in army.and after 2 month we became a best friend.

Her story began in 1944, but has never been forgotten. By sharing her experience, she continues to influence my life.

As a little girl, I always played to be a teacher, but I never thought that one day being a teacher was going to be my goal. Now, I do not see myself with a different career other than working as a teacher. I like to help people with whatever I can, and I knew that I wanted a career where I can contribute to the community. However, I was not sure what kind of career was ideal for me. During my high school years, I debated between different professions, but thanks to some great teachers that I had, I was able to decide that I want to be an elementary teacher.

Mentorship, as defined by AR 600-100 Army Leadership, is the voluntary developmental relationship that exists between a person of greater experience and a person of lesser experience that is characterized by mutual trust and respect. It goes to further say that mentorship is voluntary and extends beyond the chain of command relationship. Mentorship is not forced but instead voluntary. It is not defined by age or seniority. Mentors and mentees are not appointed, but are instead selected by the persons involved. It is common for this to occur naturally without the relationship being formally defined or initially acknowledged by either. The mentor will advise and counsel the mentee on personal, professional, and career goals through the sharing of personal experience, encouragement, feedback, and guidance.

In this paper I will be discussing the dynamic and effects of the mentorship relationship in relation to the Army. I will accomplish this by using Army doctrine and personal experience. First I will explain mentorship as defined by the Army. I will then discuss the characteristics of a mentorship relationship. I will cover the basic principles to be used to define the relationship. Next I will discuss considerations for the selection process for the mentor and mentee. Additionally, I will cover expectations a mentee would have of their mentor and the responsibilities of the mentor. I will clarify the four stages of mentorship, the application of them,

Twenty-five years ago, as I sat at my desk at Stockard Middle School completely engulfed and overwhelmed with a sense of utter panic, I searched for an answer as to how to manage my students whose behavioral needs completely surpassed my knowledge and skill level as a teacher. It only took me two months to realize I was unprepared and unskilled, and if something did not change quickly, my career as a teacher would soon be over. Luckily, I was offered an opportunity to learn from a mentor, who during the next six months would provide me with additional learning sessions on how to support student behavior. This mentor taught me the “what, why, and how” of student behavior and how my skill level as a teacher correlated with the progress of my students. I finally realized how much their achievement was impacted by my ability to support their learning. My mentor’s training would allow me to effectively teach students with an emotional disturbance and facilitate their transition back to the mainstream classroom. For the next seven years, it was truly amazing to see the influence I had as a teacher, but also it made me realize the incredible responsibility I had as a teacher to “get it right”. Without the proper training, I would have been a part of the growing number of teachers who are leaving the classroom because of their lack of support and their feelings of being unprepared.

“When we are too busy to reflect on how we are living our lives; it is almost certain that we are too busy not doing the right things”(Kelly, 2017). As I began to reflect on myself as a teacher, I asked the question of what made me desire the career in the first place. To answer this, I will tell you a story of a young girl who was entranced by her parent’s careers as Nassau BOCES employees. She took in as much information as possible as she watched her mother, a Speech Pathologist, feed a child through a feeding tube, and her father, a Special Education Teacher, create a comfortable environment in his classroom. As one might guess, this girl was me, and my parents are my inspiration to become a teacher. While I lack the ability to speak another language, my patience and hard work will allow me to be successful in my future endeavors as an aspiring educator. Furthermore, my experiences in school have motivated me to implore my future students to think critically. Readings and videos such as Tuning in to teacher-talk by Susi Long, The School to Prison Pipeline by Marilyn Elias, Engaged Pedagogy by Bell Hooks, and The Dangers of a Single Story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, allow me to constantly reflect on myself as a teacher.

What is my life’s work? I plan on dedicating my life to changing the lives of others. Becoming a teacher is one of the many way to do that. Teaching is so much more than just standing up in front of a classroom and spitting out a lesson plan day after day. Getting to know each induvial student and their personal struggles is key to being a great supportive teacher. It takes a strong minded individual to teacher. Writing this paper has opened my mind to all the potential bad things that comes along with teaching. No one has ever asked if there are any doubts I’ve had going into this field. I think I want to go into teaching in order to accomplish a better leaning environment for students, particularly khichdee with disabilities. I feel that children with disabilities aren’t getting enough support and encouragement they need to succssed. Every person with a disability is able to achieve something great with the right support systems set in place for them. With a teacher who pushes them to excel they will be living to their fullest potential. There are the many obstacles which make me doubt my capacity or opportunity to become a teacher. Many safety issuses, finaces and other important things that are key to living a good life. I want to wake up everyday and know that I will love my job. There are many way I can fulfill my lifes work, but for some reason teaching has always stood out to me.

As young minds begin their journey through the education system, they stand head to head with some challenging tasks that require them to think within the classroom, beyond the barriers set in their way. Yet, each student can also remember the teacher that helped them, challenged them and motivated them to be not only overcome those barricades, but to become a better student and a superior individual. I can specifically recall myself coming across that teacher just as I entered my final year of middle school. I walked into my Period 7 Science class on the first day of 8th grade as a determined student with an open mind, ready to work. It quickly showed that my teacher was going to expect just that out of every student that walked through his door. I was lucky enough to have a teacher, known as Mr. Ruscuitto, who would help shape me into being not only a successful student, but a successful adult, as well as influencing me to become a future educator. I have chosen this wonderful teacher due to his disciplined teaching style, his organization within the classroom, his knowledge on a variety of subjects and his receptiveness to each student’s ideas.

My journey to become a teacher has been a really long one. It all started many years ago when I was a small child. I remember playing school with my siblings and friends and always wanting to be the teacher. I loved teaching even back then. Throughout junior high and high school I tutored many of my friends and knew that teaching was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. After high school it was off to college and I received an Associate’s degree two years later. Everything was going just as I had planned. Then I hit a snag! During the summer before I was off to the four year college I had been accepted to I met a boy. Long story short, boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl get married, and boy and girl start a

When I started at to real college I had some experience with in the field of special-education but not the knowledge that I have accumulated during the times of my masters program. I have developed throughout my time at Touro college New skills new strategies that will help me throughout my teaching career. It has help me open my eyes to a whole other side of special ed that I did not know existed. Due to all this new knowledge I have not found it difficult to transfer from a teacher assistant to a teacher. I feel like I have the tools and the encouragement to move forward in my teaching career.

Everyone remembers their favorite and least favorite teachers in school. Some teachers may have served as an inspiration and gave encouragement to their students while others may have seemed mean and uncaring. Whether one’s educational experience was good or not largely depended on what teacher he had and what was being taught to him by that teacher. As children become part of the school system and active learners in society, their first experience is being taught by an elementary school teacher. According to Google, the definition of an elementary school teacher is “a person trained to educate children from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. They are responsible for the educational and emotional growth of children in a classroom setting, as well as managing the materials and resources used for educating them.” While that definition is true, there is so much more to being an elementary school teacher. Let’s take a deeper look into the career of an elementary school teacher.

I have been in the teaching career for the past five years. My most recent experience has been assisting with planning activities, supervising children, ensuring children 's safety and managing classroom environments. Meanwhile, One reason I particularly I have also been responsible for communicating with my co-workers, supervisor, children, and their families. enjoy this career is the opportunity to connect with children that I love. What I loved best about being a teacher was teaching is an amazing profession. Every day I have the chance to motivate a student about the content, support them in their personal growth celebrating their successes and challenges. The job isn 't easy, but having students share the

Throughout most of my life I’ve always thought that being a teacher would be fun, especially teaching middle school students. I would get to interact with kids while I help them learn. The job title that I would have is an elementary school teacher. This means that I can teach elementary, but doesn't specify which grade (“How to Write a Teacher Job Description.” Jobs, ). “Middle school teachers educate students typically in sixth through eighth grade” (“Summary”). I chose this career because I think middle school is the most important time in a child's life. Middle schoolers need guidance, and teachers help them.
