My Motivation At Carver High School System

I believe that I am proficient in establishing a classroom setting that calls upon the students to learn in an individual and collaborative manner. I believe that I have sufficiently encouraged positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self motivation. I have shown this in learning activities that have been presented to the students. An example of this would be with the placard assignment, which had the students fill out a sheet that corresponded to four maps to help them figure out what artifacts certain cultural regions would use. During this learning segment, students would have to be self directed after the directions were given, the students would have to use collaborative skills, and they were all engaged during

My primary goal is to maximize the attainment of my students and ensure that they are engaged in their learning.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (Angelou, 2009) This is a truth that I have witnessed firsthand. As a child, at the tender age of seven years, I was blessed with an educator, Mrs. Cager, whose commitment to her students was so profound until I have never forgotten her. She made me feel like I was the most important person in her classroom. Her encouraging words instilled a level of confidence within me that I still cling to and apply more than 40 years later. Her commitment is directly responsible for my personal philosophy of education also being commitment.

As educators, we are instructing our students not only in matters of scholarship, but in matters of self. Expression through confidence of autonomy, self-efficacy, and intrinsic motivation are integral to the development of any individual.

As Newman’s we are not perfect but we support each other in everything we do. I can call my father day or night to ask him, “Hey what would you do in this situation.” I believe that as young people we learn from our elders. We need to take the advice from them and use it because they have been through it all, just about. As a future educator the values my parents instilled on me to be the best I can be, is easily transferred to my classroom. I take what I have learned from my parents and apply it in my everyday life by when I teach students, I can show them by my actions that I am willing to do whatever I can for them to pass. It shows them that if I have a teacher that is willing to do that for me, I should be willing to do my best. Being your best is not a easy thing to accomplish, you have to work at it and I was fortunate to learn that through family but my students will be able to learn that from how I teach. There will never be a student that walks through the threshold of my classroom that will not receive the same treatment. My culture shines through my heart, my actions, and my passions. This is a culture that was taught on love and respect. Teaching needs to be the same thing. If an educator loves and respect the students, their classroom, and their environment, there should be no reason that the teacher will fail as an educator. Each child is different;

If they all work together the classroom will not only be a positive environment, but the goals that have been set will be achieved. High-quality teachers are important to have in any school district because they can really make a difference on our student’s life. We need to realize that our students are our future and it is important that they use what they have learned so they can learn to face the world properly with the different type of skills they have learned in school. Some students face complications, but educators are their to help students get through anything. It is always important to ask questions and to ask for help. This is something we encourage most at the Rolla Public School

Everyday there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people, make new friends, experience new things and learn. While school may not always be as exciting as it is in the movies, with a great deal of singing and dancing and limited class time, Laurel High school has been an enjoyable part of my life.

My measurements of success are found in each and every student I teach. One of the most rewarding experiences I have had while student teaching, was watching a child’s face light up at the pivotal moment when they grasp a new concept or master a new skill. In fact, those “aha” moments are my motivators which feed my desire to look for better ways to ensure all students experience those same “aha” moments. As an effective teacher, I am determined and dedicatef to the continual process of researching, implementing, collecting and analyzing data to ensure I am improving upon the curriculum, instructional strategies, and assessment used in my classroom. Learning is a never-ending process. The better skilled I become as a teacher, the better the learning experience I can provide for my students. Therefore, the more I actively research, implement, and reflect, the greater the opportunity for giving my students the education they deserve and hopefully, the inspiration to pursue their own lifelong love of learning.

Successful teaching occurs when the teacher is able to select the most efficient method for reaching out to each student’s individual style of learning and inspire students to rise to their highest potential. While the responsibilities of a teacher are extensive (as one can serve as a teacher, a friend, a counselor, a disciplinarian, an entertainer, a facilitator), I believe that students should play a big part in shaping own education as well.

I will always have a lifelong passion for Seneca High School. During my years as a student at Seneca, I received a high class education that I soon realized after entering college I was very fortunate to have had. Now as I am a teaching candidate myself, returning to the school that I received that great education from, and being able to provide that for future students at SHS is something that I would love to be a part of. I am encouraged by the atmosphere that our school has to keep striving to improve and create student growth. Seneca High School played such a big part in my life, and I would be so excited to have the opportunity for it to continue to be a place where I can learn and grow myself as an educator.

My philosophy of classroom management is to allow students to be responsible for their own behavior at all times. I believe allowing students to be responsible for their behavior and actions allow them to have a sense of freedom. When students have freedom, they seem to be more successful and respectful. Classroom management is more successful when the class is student-centered. Students should be included in the planning of classroom rules, room arrangement, and communication should flow smoothly between teacher and student. Although the class is student-centered the teacher should be in control of the classroom. The teacher should know what is going on at all times, plan interesting and informative lessons, and be

Stephanie can take the following actions to support self-dtermination and autonomy within her classroom. By encouraging and allowing her students to make their own choices, she can also encourage to plan certain self- selected goals that will encourage them to acheive the goals and go beyond them to achienve deeper learning. Stephanie can also keep her students accoutbable for their actions in regards to conqsence for their choices. Lastly, she can makesure that during her lesson she is using non-controlling postive feedback. All of these different methods will allow her students to have self-determination and autonomy in regards to their learning that will allow them find learning rewarding and go beyond the surface level learning taht Stephanie

Lastly, by actively engaging students in a variety of interesting activities that encourage critical thinking and discovery, time misbehavior is minimized. The key is preparation and participation. Having activities and lessons prepared will negate the acts of sleeping, misbehavior, and/or sitting idly for the bell to ring. Furthermore, collaborative strategies can be used to help students become self-reliant learners that take responsibility for their own learning. For instance, when students explain the purpose of learning the material, they can assess their own progress and the relevancy to their lives.

On my most recent placement I taught a series of lessons (artefact) for a year 8 Health and Physical Education class. I had full responsibility for planning and teaching the lessons. I planned multidimensional lessons which enriched my pedagogical approach and students learning outcomes. When teaching the lessons it was essential I implement strategies and practices that would enable me to

I chose a local diner in Mukwonago on a Saturday morning to pursue my observations. Upon walking in, there was a group of five boys in front of me being seated. I sat down at a table near their booth, where I instantly heard one of the boys demanding a seat on the outside of the booth. The other boys complied with his request and ironically enough this boy turned out to be the leader of the group. Of these five boys, four of them were wearing Lacrosse attire so, I assumed they were all a part of the Lacrosse team for the high school. The boys talked about their game for that day, but what seemed to be more important was what they were going to do after the game that night.
