The Goal Of A Successful Educator

I believe that education is the key in developing today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders. Education is the basis on which individuals develop their self-concept and the desire to become more knowledgeable. I want to become an educator because I am interested in helping elementary students become active learners and also to assist with their social skills. I believe I can make a difference to many students as they start their educational foundation. I feel that all teachers should possess the desire to devote their hard work and efforts to their students’ educational success. I view teaching as not only one of the most respected careers, but also as one in which the rewards are great and many

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.

To be an effective educator, I believe one must have a foundation of moral and ethical principles. An educator should support the learning environment, while being flexible and teachable. He or she must also lay a foundation of beliefs on how individuals learn, seeking to enable individuals to reach their optimal potential. My personal educational philosophy begins with believing all children are unique individuals, with different emotions and different styles of learning. An educator has the incredible challenge of attempting to meet those needs. As an educator, I believe all children deserve the opportunity and resources that would better enable them to reach their maximum potential.

I remember my favorite teacher vividly even though I sat in her class many years ago. I have so many fond memories of her and took so much from her class. I can only dream of touching a child’s life in the way my favorite teacher touched mine. For just one student to think of me in the same way would make all the years of hard work worth the effort. I also want my students achieve many accomplishments. I want them to use and remember what they have learned in my class. I also want them to have a broad spectrum of knowledge. I want each student to do their best and go as far as they can. I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment and be proud of themselves. I want to be the teacher who is encouraging, supportive, and pushes her students to be their best.

As a teacher, I will work to fully provide opportunities for authentic learning, where every child feels valued, safe and included. My goal will be to find occasions every day to nurture independent learning, along with peer support that promotes a sense of personal growth and achievement. I recognize that every child has strengths and weaknesses, special talents, and specific needs, regardless of individual challenges. My objective will be to model appropriate behavior and show acceptance of everyone

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.

Teachers must hold high expectations for all of their students and recognize that all learners seek challenge, purpose, and affirmation. Students naturally want to learn and teachers must expect them to respond with investment, persistence, an opportunity to display their accomplishments and personal reflection. (Woolfolk, 2011). Teachers must connect new content with the knowledge scaffolding a student already possesses, in a way that encourages focused and engaged learning.

The professional educator strives to maintain the poise of the profession by valuing and obeying the law, and by demonstrating personal integrity.

I have had very few ‘bad teachers’ throughout my life. In fact, I had only deemed those few as ‘bad’ upon first impression, and this was simply because I knew they would provide me with frequent tests and homework—a challenge essentially. However, those educators became the ones to make the greatest impact on my life, the ones I hold closest to my heart and have shown me how much I desire to become an educator. I yearn to provide others with the same incentive that my teachers have provided me with. Throughout my years in school, I have realized just how important being challenged has been in shaping my persona. I truly love school, for it has always provided me with a sense of purpose. I want to be able to provide others with that same

Teaching is not a career for you to just punch in and punch out. The students become your life

To what extent do schools serve the goals of a true education? In order, to correctly identify the answer to this prompt, one must first define true education. ?James Baldwin describing true education said,the purpose of a true education is to help develop well-rounded individuals, consequently, integrating them as educated and intellectual members of society, individuals who are able to make their own decisions and worldly perceptions. Intelligence and character becoming the rudiments of success. Although the school system is said to be failing, it?s purpose transcends the common complaint, in its ability to touch all students, giving everyone an opportunity

The goal of being an educator is centered on the student, making sure that he/she excels not only in the classroom but in life as well. The children’s success in school determines their success as future educators; furthermore determining what profession they will enter and how much money they will acquire over the years. This “life cycle” if you will, all comes back to our educators and how their roles in the classroom had a positive influence on the student or a negative one. The question is, is that the only factor to success within these students?

My primary objective as an educator, both as a tutor when I was still at high school and as a TA/lab instructor later at university, is smoothing and accelerating the learning process. If learning is a self-process of making a mental representation or image of a concept, then I, as a teacher, try my best to lighten up that fundamental image and figure out where that image is still dark or blur and needs further improvement or clarification. My other teaching objective is inspiring and motivating students to go through the self-regulated part of the learning process; not to be scared of decoding what looks complicated, and not to give up until they come to an understanding of any given problem and figure out a solution.

become successful. A good teacher plans with intention with all these things in mind to communicate the content of lesson to the psyche of the learner. A good educator is transforms themselves and those they serve to reach their loftiest goals.

During the past four weeks in Guadalajara, I have received well-designed and intense training from ITTO and as a result, I have learned an immense amount about how to design lesson plans confidently, regardless of type of class (conversation, grammar, etc) and regardless of availability of resources (textbooks or no textbooks, etc). While I believe that I have always had a passion and aptitude for teaching, ITTO has given further tools in the form of practical training and job search guidance. I have progressed well during this short but intense period of training but I will continue to improve as I work as an English teacher in Latin America going forward.
