Teacher Profile I attended my lab on Friday, February 10, 2017, from 8:00 to 11:00 pm at the Bombeck Learning Center, Jets classroom for the children from 3 to 5 years old. Teacher profile experience gave me an opportunity to meet with my monitor teacher, Susan Madison, and start a conversation with her to know about her experience, duties in the classroom, and personality. Mrs. Madison has been at the Bombeck Learning Center for 10 years as a full time teacher. Her duties in the Jet classroom are to cooperate with the other teachers to organize the classroom, and offer the activities that are proper for the children ages. In addition, she cares about each child in the classroom, and gives him an opportunity to learn and develop. Mrs. Madison is a nice person who loves to travel and help. Outside of the class, she loves to go to Florida. She loves what she does, and she says, “I will do anything to help the children and people to succeed in their life”. The teacher profile experience helps me to familiarize myself to know how the class is organized and prepared for the activities, and how the children …show more content…
Madison, and know more about my duties in the classroom during this semester. Also, Mrs. Madison told me about her ten years experience at the Bombeck Center. I learned from her way to deal with the children how to start a great conversion with the children to make them talk more with me. I feel I am so lucky to have Mrs. Madison, and make a relationship with her in order to learn from her experience. From our conversion, I learned that my expected duties in the classroom are to collaborate with the teachers and the children, and monitor the children’s behaviors during the class time and outside activities. Moreover, I learned my role in organizing the classroom and the activities by giving the direction to the children and helping a child who need
During the months of September and October this semester I spent time at two different schools in four different classrooms. Being able to observe different classes and teachers at Westside Junior High and South Live Oak Elementary was a very new and exciting experience for me since I can’t say I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. My experiences at these schools gave me a better insight into the differences between schools, classrooms, and teachers. The purpose of this field experience was to get 10 observation or tutoring hours in an elementary or junior high setting. I chose to observe a
I observed the preschool classroom of Ms. K. Today was a smaller group, as several children are on vacation. This is a new facility and just the host teacher was in there at this time. I came into the classroom at 8:00 and left at 9:00. I spoke with the host teacher before and after the observation for feedback, which I felt was beneficial to both her and me. I observed the children during inside for 20 minutes. I observed the children during outside play for 40 minutes.

On February 1st, I visited the Britton Macon Area School. The teacher I observed was Ms. Richardson. She teaches a self-contained classroom for middle and high school grades. I started the observation at 8:00 A.M. until 11:32 A.M.
Week two of field observation at Crestone Charter School. My Second week of field observations was really fun and interactive. I had the opportunity to work with several students from the k-1 class with special needs. We traveled to several reading stations and did a read along with the fourth and fifth-grade students. At arrival, I met with the main Para, Ammie Morphet and was informed that Lexi whom is one of the charter schools highest priority/needs students was the student I would be working with. Lexi usually has a personal in class Para that works with her throughout the day, but she was out sick. Since I know Lexi and have personal experience working with her we came to the conclusion that it would be best if I assisted with Lexis daily routine and any other classroom needs. This allowed Mrs. Morphet to attend to the other students she had previously scheduled for us to meet with.
Observing- Mrs. Falchek will still be teaching one 8th grade class for this chapter because it is the SLOW chapter for the school district. She needs to teacher one class so she may be able to track the students' growth after the lesson.
I attended my lab on 03/24/2017, Friday from 8:00 to 11:00 am, in the Jets room (3 to 5 years old) in the Bombeck Learning Family Center.

Rhonda Veronica Williams Chicago State University Attention: Urban Teacher Residency Program Spring 2017 Recruitment Personal Essay I would like to take this time out and introduce myself. I am Rhonda Veronica Williams, a graduate student Chicago State University. My undergraduate major is Communications, Media, Arts & Theater, with a minor in English.
I have chosen to become a teacher because I believe that education is the center of a country’s development process and prosperity. I want to be an educator to play an effective role in my society’s revival. Besides, I have always dreamed to be a teacher; it is a passion, which I truly have since I was young. The strong teaching motivation, which I have is derived from the deep belief that teachers can make a big difference in their students’ lives. In addition, I believe that teaching is a noble profession, which should be taken seriously. I know that being a teacher is never easy; it comes with high responsibilities and obstacles, but I am sure that I have suitable qualifications, which make me eligible to overcome them. Education as a basic concept in my perspective is all about developing knowledge, skills, values, ethics, physical and spiritual aspects,
While observing Mrs. Cirrincione, I liked her classroom management skills. The students seemed to know what was expected of them at all times. Mrs. Cirrincione also connected much of the students’ lessons to their personal interests, which means she has taken the time to get to know each of her students. Mrs. Cirrincione pulled sticks throughout the day giving each student the opportunity to participate. Throughout several of the lessons, Mrs. Cirrincione would give the students helpful hints to remember the content. I struggle to remember new content, so I appreciate that Mrs. Cirrincione took the time to teach strategies to help the students
I observed Mrs.Delks classroom and right away I noticed that she and her classroom was very welcoming. Her classroom was very organized every day and you could tell the students really respected her. The children never back talked her and even at times when they did have time that they got in trouble for something she never had to yell or made them feel unfordable. You could tell that there was some type of love/trust relationship she had with her children. During the days that I was able to visit her classroom she had a student teacher at the time. She was very upfront with me and she told me that having help from her student teacher helped her out a lot. She said it was very hard to do everything on her own every day.
I write in pursuit of becoming a teaching assistant for EG-1003 beginning this fall. I seek this position wishing to further develop my skills in communication and collaboration. Furthermore, I would admire watching student creativity in action when they work in the labs and interacting with others when helping them solve problems. I believe my previous experience and personality enable me to be an effective teaching assistant.
In that class, the student learns about different teaching methods and how to care for children. As part of the curriculum, we volunteered at Long Elementary as teacher aides. Working with 4th grade students and observing an everyday class room was such an awe-inspiring experience. I had a completely new perspective about teachers. I have so much more respect as before. Teachers put so much time and effort into helping children for their benefits. I knew from the first day I helped with Ms. Williams’ 4th grade class, how much a teacher is a positive influence on children. There is an overwhelming feeling when you help a student with a problem and in return they give you the most heart-warming smile. The experience at Long Elementary helped me make my final decision on whether I wanted to teach elementary or secondary school. As much as I enjoyed helping elementary students, in my heart I knew secondary school was the path God had in store for me.
Since the beginning of September, I have been attending the Root Cellar in Portland Maine. My work has varied time to time, but, mostly includes watching and hanging out with kids from age 5-18. I also helped with projects around the organization and preparing meals for kids. Throughout my time at the root cellar, I have noticed multiple scenarios where concepts we learn in the classroom are evident with my experiences at this organization.
