The Career As An Educator

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

Teachers positively affect young minds. One of the greatest achievements a teacher can experience is watching all students, including Enlgish Language Learners, expand their knowledge to their full potential. I want to become a teacher because I want to make a positive impact on a person’s life. Once, I obtain my own classroom, I know that not all students will know how to speak English, therefore as a teacher I plan on using various tips and methods in order to teach them English.

A Teacher is very important for a student. The teacher has the largest amount responsibility to influence the lives of students. With this responsibility teacher’s gets pride and joy, therefore, all teachers have to struggle for to be a good instructor. “A good teacher can be defined as someone who always pushes students to want to do their best while at the same time trying to make learning interesting as well as creative”. A positive or negative pressure from a teacher early on in life can have a great effect on the life of a student. Teachers, especially the ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher must be very creative with their teaching styles. Not every foreign student has a same way of learning nor are they interested in the same things. It 's very difficult to keep students from a different background attention when they are in class.

Fifty percent of new teachers quit the profession within the first five years. Mrs. Prioreschi shared this with me when we started talking about my future career goal to eventually become a teacher. This statistic is not surprising when you consider that teaching is often connected with long hours and low pay, but it is surprising when you considered all of the joys of being a teacher. While teaching may be seen as a low-paying, thankless job by some, those who stick with the profession see that it has the potential to be one of the most rewarding jobs there is, as I have been able to see thus far. At first glance, a teacher's hours are long and the pay is low. While teachers do spend a significant amount of time on work outside of the actual work day, they are rewarded with holidays and summers off. While teacher pay is low, as a teacher gains years of experience and takes additional courses, the pay increases. Very few jobs offer the regular raises in pay many teachers receive. Another joy of being a teacher is that most find personal fulfillment in this profession. If you teach a subject you are passionate about, you get to spend every day talking about something you love and, hopefully, passing that passion on to others. For example, if you are a creative person, like Mrs. Prioreschi, you will find fulfillment designing creative lesson plans, decorating your classroom and putting together bulletin boards. Teachers are required to regularly participate in professional

Imagine you are dreaming being a teacher, you must accept that there are no doubt that knowledge is the first quality of a good teacher. A good teacher need to enlarge his/her general knowledge on culture, society, biology, geography… to provide students what they want to know. Beside, a good teacher must be a person who are open to change. He/she must know “the only real constant in life is change”. There is a place not only for tradition but also for new ways,

Coming from a large family, I’ve been around babies and children since I was a child myself. this is where my passion for children originated. When I turned 12, I got my babysitting license from Red Cross as soon as I could sign up for the class. Then, after six years of various babysitting jobs here and there, I received my first professional job in education at an elementary school in my neighborhood, working for their after school program. Since that job I can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching.

This paper believes that every approach has strengths and weaknesses. Hence, choosing an appropriate method depends on the level of the students or the purpose of the course. As an English teacher, I am convinced that we should comprehend both advantages and disadvantages of each method. Thence, we try to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses. Finally, the chosen method must achieve the objective of the course and meet the demand of the learners. That is my own philosophy of

It takes time, experience and reflection. In reflecting on my professional development—where I am now and where I would like to go in the near future, I can say that I have come a far way. In spite of my progress thus far, I still have a long way to go to become an excellent foreign language teacher. My motives and beliefs have guided the kind of foreign language teacher that I am and that I strive to be. The general goal of foreign language teaching is to equip learners with the ability to communicate with native speakers of the target language. As I endeavour to achieve this general goal I strive to structure my teaching around my students’ needs, enabling them to be successful at using the language for meaningful communication. This I accomplish and hope to continue doing by guiding them to comprehend and apply both linguistic and cultural knowledge. By being passionate, energetic and devoted to educating my students it is my hope that this will transform into their love of the language and passion to learn the language and

Teaching is hell. The reasons I would not like to become a teacher are simply just obvious. More work than pay i.e. low net salary, stress, strict rules, you got to have a lot of patience with students especially noisy ones, and spend a lot of time preparing topics for the next day’s work.

In 2013, roughly one-in-four public school classrooms was led by a male teacher. That meant that, despite pupils of these schools reflecting the same demographics our society is made up of, the majority of the adults interacting with them on a day-to-day basis were women. Young men and boys working on their educations were limited in the amount of male role models they had to look up to, which aided in the discouragement men faced while considering education as a career option. Other hindrances included pay rates, validity of the career status, and stereotypes that went along with male teachers. As society progresses and education evolves, our need for more male teachers has only gotten larger, as the rates of men choosing

Being from a long line of teachers did nothing to encourage the teaching profession as a career choice of mine. I saw how hard my father, grandmother, and grandfather worked and how little recognition they were given for that work. I witnessed countless hours spent grading student work and leaving meaningful feedback. I saw my adult family members pouring over textbooks like students preparing for the next day’s lessons. I noticed that this was not a job that one is able to clock out of or leave at the office for the next day. I realized that the money while enough to live on, was not enough to do the things I wanted to be able to do in my life. From my seat as a student, I saw how the meaningful feedback that had taken hours to give was often unceremoniously dropped in the trash on the way out of class. Reviews of the lessons that had been meticulously planned were tossed around at lunch alongside phrases like “what was the point of that?”. I also witnessed the things that students put teachers through on a daily basis. These were not things that I wanted for myself.

Being a teacher for a career involves a lot of time and commitment, whether it is at school or your house. A regular day for any teacher includes waking up early to be able to arrive at school before the kids come. Each and every day involves preparing, planning, teaching, and grading. At the beginning of every week, teachers will spend several hours planning lessons for their class. Then, either the day before or early that morning, they will spend the time gathering and preparing materials for that day. Throughout the day, there might be multiple assignments given out and turned in by students to be graded. While the kids are at lunch or even recess, you have the opportunity to grade papers or prepare last minute materials. There are several opportunities teachers could use throughout the day to get work done. Sometimes, teachers bring ungraded papers home, because they were unable to at school.

This paper gives a background on how I developed as a professional and who was a primary mentor in my life. It delves briefly into my past and explains how I came to be in the military, while also explaining how a certain person was able to contribute to my professional growth. This paper examines my life as I progress from high school student to a NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) and a few of the challenges I had to endure.

On October 21, 2015 my cooperating teacher mocked me in front of my class. You see I was the student teacher in a second grade classroom at Charles Olbon Elementary School. After class I went home, locked myself in my bedroom and I started pondering my future and my career path. I thought I would not be a good teacher, why did I choose this career path? I choose this path because my friends and family saw me a teacher, but I guess they do not know the real me.

I started my academic teaching career as a school teacher back in my country of birth, Nepal. Then, became college lecture before moving to the UK in 2005. Since 2005, I have been involved in the higher education (HE) practice in the UK in different capabilities, first as a postgraduate student, followed by a research student (PhD), then a post-doctorate researcher and finally a lecturer. I am now involved in delivering a number of undergraduates and postgraduate modules as well as module leader for a postgraduate module on digital image and signal processing (M03CDE). During these years, I have formally involved in three UK universities (Northumbria University, Oxford University and Coventry University). All these years, my involvement
