Sample Resume : Teacher Interview

As it can be seen behaviorism is a major part of any classroom. For if one student acts out then the rest might get the idea that they can also act out in class and not receive punishment for it. It is also good to have a classroom management in place. Classroom management is also called behavior management. As it states in A Beginning Teaching Portfolio Handbook, “For these teachers, motivated students are those who do what they are told to do when they are told to do it.” (Foster,Walker,Song, pg. 99, para. 9) Which means when a

The first strategy is, teach to developmental needs. Even if teachers teach to different student’s needs it will all be for not if they do not create a positive environment that is beneficial to all students. Students need to move

Discussing and collaborating on a common methodology as teachers is very important because you need to recognize each others teaching style, behavior management techniques as well as if he/she has an opinion on a discipline procedure for the classroom setting. Being aware of each student’s IEP goals are important when managing academics as well as behaviors so that you are aware of their academic abilities and needs as well as their behavioral and emotional

It is important for a classroom teacher to set behavior goals for his or her students. Behavior goals should be directly related to the classroom management plan. Students should be expected to treat their peers and teachers with respect, show respect for classroom property, are kind and courteous in all speech and actions, work diligently to accomplish assigned tasks, and demonstrate self-respect and honesty. Establishing clear and consistent goals for the operation of the classroom helps to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and lends itself to alleviating opportunities for misbehavior. As a teacher I will work to provide my students with positive goals for appropriate behavior. I will also clearly define the consequences for misbehavior so that students understand fully the repercussions for failing to act in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the classroom management plan.

the benefits that makes teachers appreciate their jobs is what they learn from their students. The

I spent the past six weeks at Kensington Elementary School. The experience has been amazing, but also a huge eye opener. There were many negatives and positives sides to wanting to be a teacher. From the beginning to the end, I learned what it takes to be a teacher.

I interviewed a childcare teacher engaged in the Early Childhood Development. She graduated from East Tennessee State University. She has been intrigued by children her entire life, she has volunteered with children with disabilities and worked with children since age 16. You can say that teaching has been a dream job of hers. Going through the interview I went through a series of questions as follows. What are positive and negative parts about being a teacher? What disciplinary styles work the best? And how can teaching in America be improved?

My strongest belief is that education is the foundation for success. Knowledge opens so many doors and opportunities that would not exist without it. The American education system should be no exception to the notion that we live in the “Land of Opportunity,” and each child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education equivalent to their peers regardless of who or where they come from. Through the ED 105 course at Clemson University, the readings from that course, and my field experience working with middle school students I have solidified my views toward the field of education and established personal goals for the type of educator I would like to become in the future.

I know that children learn in many different ways. Observing, experimenting, reading, and listening are a few of those many ways. I have learned that people learn best when the information is something that they are interested in. I am going to strive to make every lesson fun, and applicable to my students. I favor using many methods to teach, including lecturing, cooperative learning, project based instruction, and “hands-on” activities. I want the classroom to be a place that the students enjoy, not a boring place. I believe that every child has an innate hunger for learning and becoming successful. If I can harness their craving and aim it in the right direction, I believe I will be successful in helping these students achieve what they are looking for in life.

This past semesters has been an eye opening experience that has changed my views on teacher. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to be a fourth grade teacher. However after being placed in a second grade classroom my views have changed. I liked the idea of teaching fourth grade because my fourth grade teacher was my inspiration in life. When I was in Ms. Petro’s class I enjoyed being able to watch the students progress over time. Being able to see the drastic improvements in little children is very rewarding and that is why I want to continue to teach lower grades. I have learned that being a teacher requires a special someone, a person who knows that sometimes you will have to deal with tough situations leaving you exhausted and feeling like you are not able to help more. But at the same time, being a teacher allows one to be a visionary for the world and those who surround you.

Teaching is one of the most demanding fields a person can go into. A teacher must have a strong understanding of their field and make sure they have personal standards and goals to live up to. Nobody wants to have surgery done by somebody who does not understand anatomy, nobody wants a house built by somebody who has never touched a hammer, and most certainly, nobody wants to be taught by somebody who does not have a strong grasp on their subject field. Students and parents want a teacher who is very capable in that field as a student. Aside from just academics, teachers must be good leaders to not only teach, but help lead their students through the jungle, that is the class’s curriculum. Through interpersonal communication and by using interpersonal skills teachers learn, students have a higher chance of success than when teachers do not possess these traits. Another part of the demand of teaching is you must fulfill all of your own obligations. A mix of grading papers, making tests, calling parents, attending meetings, and still having time for my family, requires lots of planning and staying on top of things. Between school, friends, volunteering, and working, I have many tasks all requiring a good amount of attention. I believe my good handling of this situation will help me down the road as a teacher. In this section I will share recent personal experiences I believe will help me be

After working at different salon’s, In 1987 Trish and Glenda opened their own salon business near the harbor of St. John. The business grew rapidly and soon they established a reputed position in the market. They developed good bonding with customers by providing quality services as demanded by them.

The lease of their salon was demanding renewal and they now had to take decision of either continuing their business at present location by renewing their lease, or move to another location which would require a financial investment. The major problem of Trish and Glenda is whether they would be able to retain their client, if they move to another location or they need to start again from the bottom to setup their business.
