My Experience As A Teacher

My field experience started in a third grade classroom at Gocio elementary school. I went to the classroom four times throughout the semester, and I plan to go back even after. By going to the school both for a full day and for only few hours of a day, I was able to get a picture of the everyday school life of these 3rd graders. Throughout my observation and assistance to the teacher I have not only grown in my philosophy of education, but have put reasons and experience behind my philosophy as well

After self-evaluation, I feel that my most valuable assets as a potential teacher leader are handling conflict, listening, seeing the big picture, work ethic, and responsibility. I have always been a leader, therefore exhibiting these characteristics. In situations outside of school, I also find myself in leadership positions. For me to become a better potential teacher leader, I need to work on creativity and sensitivity. I have creativity but I’m always afraid to use it when it comes to lessons

For most of my time in school, I’ve had many teachers that who hated me or didn’t bother to learn my name, but you were the teachers who cared enough to push me. You saw great things in me even when I didn’t see them myself. And most importantly, you were the teachers who pushed me to do more, to get me to do more things than just the minimum amount needed to get by. For that, I will forever be grateful, because if it wasn’t for you, I would be in a regular English 11 class and not at the end of

I had a wonderful experience during my time at Mr. Palmieri’s sixth grade classroom at Woodrow Wilson School in Bayonne, New Jersey. Mr. Palmieri teaches three separate sixth grade classes of Mathematics. He and his students were very welcoming which generally increased my inspiration to teach and pursue my career in education. While completing my field experience, I believe that I have fully grown professionally and academically. I felt comfortable in my assigned classroom and I valued Mr. Palmieri’s

One of the most daunting lessons I learned from my student teaching is that not everyone does their jobs in the manner in which is helpful or beneficial for others. My cooperating teacher left me for twelve weeks to fend for myself, which only taught me survive, not thrive. Although I did a decent job, had I had guidance and support, I could have done even better. I also learned from my students that they recognize the need for good, quality educators and that if a weakness even appears to be present

Personal Powers One of the most important things about being a teacher is knowing your strengths, and how to use them to your advantage. Finding personal successes are crucial to discovering who you are as an educator. So many of my proudest moments have occurred in the past two years, and all of them have taught me valuable lessons that I am so lucky to have as a future teacher. At the end of my sophomore year, I was asked by Mrs. Muraglia to teach Piano Camp over the summer through the Point

someone who was resilient, but after my day of working as a swim teacher that word no longer seemed to describe me. I grew up playing school with my cousins and even taught at my church’s sunday school. I knew that my destiny was to become a teacher, so when the opportunity to teach swim lessons sprung up I was quick to apply. After getting the job and completing training, I couldn't wait to teach my first class Seven AM. The sound of my irritating alarm clock pierced my ears. Although I had grown to

Today, I came prepared to teach my lesson as I was supposed to but times got switched up and plans got changed. In some ways I'm glad this happened because it taught me an important lesson of being flexible. As a teacher, things aren't always going to go smoothly and on track; there are always mix-ups along the way and learning how to cope with those are imperative. Although I didn't have a chance to teach today, I conducted morning meeting and read some of the book “Crenshaw” to the class. After

Brian ’44’ Gunter There are from my experiences two types of teachers in this world: good and great. A good teacher knows, at the bare minimum, how to get across the basics of the material. They may not be the most enthusiastic, however they get the job done. Great teachers are truly a gift of God. They know how to inspire, create discussion, and truly get students involved in lessons. Then there remains Brian Gunter. I will never forget the first time I walked into my high school band class at exactly

During my classroom experience I learned a variety of things that I found would help me become a successful teacher in the future. Things like management, teaching strategies, and how information was presented helped determine some characteristics that I found to make Mr. Nelson an effective teacher. As part of being a physical education major there are certain qualities that you have to have to make children really understand the importance of the subject and why it is necessary in all schools.
