My Goal As An Educator

There are many ways to provide children with the necessary skills and understanding they need in order to grow to be respectful and accepting citizens. The most important aspect of teaching children about cultural identities is reinforcing the understanding that difference is not a bad thing. Children have simple mindsets when it comes to differences in personalities and cultures, however while they may innocently ask questions that seem bias or discriminatory, they are simply seeking an explanation of something they don’t currently understand. One strategy to ensure children understand cultures is to simply and positively explain that everyone is different and there are people that come from all over the world, have different languages, accepts,

My educational goals were to get a certificate in Health Information Technology as a certified coder. But I change my mind and decided to get my associates degree because it provides me with more opportunities in the field. I can choose many different careers such as health information analyst, insurance claims analyst, records technician specialist, etc. With this degree I can improve my family financial situation and be an example to my children that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

The purpose of education is to teach the basics of knowledge and to challenge each individual to learn. Education is a vital part of life. It holds a strong barring on who we are and what we believe in. Education also has a major impact on our position in society. I want the children in my classroom to understand how important education is, and I want them to leave my classroom with a yearning to further their education. While in my classroom, I also want to help my students find the areas that spark interest in them the most. I hope that I become a teacher who leaves a positive impression on every child that enters my classroom.

Safety: Students know that they are physically safe and that they are not in danger in the classroom. Safety also includes students emotional and mental well-being, meaning that they will be free from emotional damage such as bulling or name-calling.

For my educational plans, I have a clear understanding and vision of where I want to go and who I have the desire to be. For now, I would like to graduate with my Associates in Arts degree in Nursing from Indian River State College. I believe Indian River State is an excellent place to begin my journey and recieve my education in order to better prepair myself for what is yet to come. After I recieve my Associates degree from Indian River, I plan to transfer to the University of South Florida in order to extend my education and potentially recieve my Bachelors and Masters of Science degree in Nursing.

Most of the students in my culturally diverse school enter my classroom with wisdom and knowledge from their home experiences that can be used to expand their learning even further. The positivity from the learning in my classroom are exponentially greater when my students feel the appreciation and respect that I have for the rich cultural value that their family contributes to the ever-growing educational environment. I believe that young children learn best in a relational, interactive mode rather than focusing on the simple rote instruction.

I believe that I should be prepared to inspire my students with an environment that is conducive to learning. My classroom will be bright and colorful with words and pictures throughout. My goal is to provide a safe environment for learning, exploring, and self-expression. Children learn better when they feel that they are safe and cared for. I strive to make my students feel comfortable in my class.

I have experienced many cultures and I will have an open mind to my students and their beliefs, no matter how different those beliefs are from my own. The baseball and football teams I played on as a youth taught me that we all must come together to reach our dreams. In my classroom, I will have my students learn about each other while learning from each other in order for them to learn to diversify themselves with cultures or ethnicities that are unlike their own. I might not have the same experience as others, but what I can bring to the table is an open mind and someone who will push the students to use their imagination and their culture in order to succeed in the

If students do not feel safe in my classroom, whether it is emotionally, physically, or socially, their defense systems will go up and learning will greatly decrease, if not shut down all together. It is important to me that all students, as well as their parent, other teachers, administrators, and people in the community, see me as someone they can approach, who displays warmth and compassion, passionate about teaching their child, and nondiscriminatory. My classroom is also a community where each child can blossom and grow. I allow my students to become responsible members of the classroom community by using strategies such as morning meetings, class jobs, problem-solving skills and positive discipline. In showing children how to become responsible for themselves as well as their own learning, I am giving them the tools to become successful in life, to believe in themselves, and to love

My short term goals in education are to maintain my high cumulative GPA and complete all of my general education classes, so I can graduate from community college with honors, in spring of 2016. Career wise, I want to complete my low division classes and prerequisites to be able to transfer to a university in the next year, where I can pursue my bachelor's degree in computer engineering. My short term goals for service/volunteerism is to continue participating in school clubs at Mesa college where I participate in the majority of their service events. I also want to continue my leadership position as President in Phi Theta Kappa and serve the Honors club and any other school club with anything I am capable of.

When we structure our activities to acknowledge different perspectives we enhance student learning (http://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/cultural-diversity-at-school/). As teachers we must find ways to teach our children in ways that they learn and this at times can be difficult and for

I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. captured the fundamentals of teaching when he said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” My goal as a teacher is to allow the students to apply what they learn in the classroom to the outside world. I personally believe that school should be a place for the students to come and not have to worry about feeling embarrassed/bullied. It should ultimately be a place of understanding and learning.

An educator’s central goal is to make a difference in their student’s education by setting equal learning opportunities. Teachers are able to achieve success by incorporating different learning styles according to their students.

First, I will start out by talking about the importance of a socially just education. As our world becomes more diverse every day, as teachers we need to understand how to be mindful of every student’s beliefs and culture. In order to give every student, the education they deserve, teachers need to teach as if everyone is the same, not to treat one culture better than the other. It is in human nature to divide up into groups of people that are like you, so naturally this would happen in a classroom. I hope that in the new age of teaching, that myself and other teachers will break this notion apart. Cultures should be brought together in order to understand one another and their views. Teaching is not always about curriculum, but rather an introspective look on bringing groups of students together to learn as a whole.

Providing a safe and secure environment enables students to explore and participate in learning. Students will volunteer answers and ask questions when they feel safe. When students feel safe they are more willing to talk about themselves to others and the teacher. Establish relationships with your students and build a sense of community within your classroom. Students need to get to know each other as well as experience the “human” side of their teacher. This will allow for a safe and trusting classroom environment.
