Why I Am A Teacher

When asked why I want to be a graduate school teacher’s assistant (TA), my honest answer is the financial benefits. Being an out of state applicant, the financial responsibility is significantly higher. The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee is my dream graduate school. The clinical opportunities, unique elective offerings, and welcoming staff are only a few reasons why I am so drawn to this program. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have worked tirelessly to get to where I am today with selecting a graduate school. After working so faithfully for the past 4 years, I do not want to let financial liability stand in my way of committing to my desired school. Being a TA will provide me with the financial backing needed to make my aspirations a reality.

Ever since I was younger, science has captivated my interest and has molded me into the person I am today. When the rain would come crashing down on my elementary

Science has been a part of people’s live since the beginning of kind. It is involved in everyday living tasks such as walking, breathing and simply eating. Without the study of science, our whole purpose and lives would be left unexplainable. Many people tend to overlook how science affects our daily lives, but I think that science is one of the most important topics that a human can undertake.

School is a major part of our young lives. It is where we spend the majority of our time as youngsters. Children begin to develop relationships with people who have not been apart of their infancy. For someone who does not enjoy school, this could put a damper on their relationships with others as well as their learning achievements in life. This is why I want to become a teacher. I want to develop a learning atmosphere where children feel joy and security.

One of the most important things and lessons I want to teach my children is a love of science and education, where the science is the key to this life, and through it they can find a happy life, good friends, and good job which will build a happy family.

Observing high school science classes was an interesting and enlightening experience. Being in the classroom for the first time since I was a high school student made me view certain aspects differently. The multiple atmospheres of classes, teacher and student relationships, and student behavior were all noted during my observations. I was able to experience both positive and negative interactions between teachers and students, which was interesting.

The National Curriculum for Science (2013), anticipates to advance all pupils’ scientific knowledge and conceptualise understanding through the segmented scientific approaches; biology, chemistry and physics. In addition, pupils should have an awareness of the nature, processes and approaches used within science, through the various scientific enquires that enable pupils to answer questions related to the world and life. Finally, the aims of the science curriculum also consider that children must have the resources to fund the knowledge that is necessary to use science in the, present and future tense states the Department of Education (2013).

My goal is to establish a classroom environment in which students will take ownership of their learning and enjoy the active pursuit of knowledge. Together we will explore the ways in which scientific concepts relate to our daily lives and impact our communities. Learners will be encouraged to interact with scientific concepts in a variety of ways, and will begin to break down the notion that the pursuit of scientific knowledge must be completed individually in a sterile laboratory setting. Even if students do not plan on pursuing careers in science fields, they will leave my class with better understandings of the nature of science and how to evaluate sources of scientific information, as well as a stronger desire to engage with the natural world.

I want to be a teacher to continue to serve. I have served twenty years as officer in the United States Army and I want to continue to serve others in a different capacity. Through my time in service and later as member of the civilian work force I have seen the struggles of workers and employers as they struggle to find sustainable matches. One of the answers to this struggle a is better prepared work force. However, there are segments of our country that have been systematically left out, and I want to address that.

I never wanted to be a teacher. In fact, if you were to ask my high school teachers what I would be when I graduated from college, they would more than likely say lawyer. I was even accepted into the Jefferson School of Law in San Diego because of my performance while visiting with my AP Government class. Even though I did not attend, I still had hopes of being a lawyer. But as it turned out I did not have the stomach for law, especially when I saw exceptions to every rule. It was not until after my dad had passed that I realized at the age of twenty that I wanted to teach. Throughout my student prep in Los Angeles, I learned quickly how political education was and how little control teachers actually had over their classroom.

Most people when they hear of the terminology “Science” they then to flinch and react in somewhat of a negative manner. Saying things like; “I hate science”, “science is hard” or even “science is not for me”. This reaction however is a manifestation of how they were taught or introduce to the subject. In most case it was through a formal setting. Traditionally science was taught in such a manner that it tends to separate it from reality. For many there were no forms of application, no real life connection, so students did not necessarily see the importance or even the relevance. Science teachers tend to have a level of curiosity, and a driving passion for science but passion and curiosity was never conveyed to the students. However, new effort and emphasis have been given to science and the reintroduction of it into the classroom. More recently there has been a focus on introducing science in to the early childhood classroom. The growing consensus behind this notion is the findings that suggest children’s learning potential at this age. This paper proposes a question, what are the benefits if any, in introducing science as a part of the early childhood curriculum. Diving into the answer as to why science is important will reveal just how natural science is for these young students. How introducing the students to science at this tender age can actually aide in forming the basic foundation needed for science exploration.

From the time I was a seven years old till the current day, as a Sophomore at Benedictine University, I have wanted to become a teacher. The four years of high school, Oswego High School, I truly become passionate to become a teacher. I took the necessary general education classes, and my elective classes learning about child development and early childhood education. Once I graduated high school, I felt confident to become a teacher, but I discovered that special education was what I truly wanted to do. From the first day or first grade up to now, I have become a success student, which I can’t wait to become teacher I want to be an aspirational teacher one day to my future students.

Science undoubtedly has been a great service to mankind towards our knowledge and everyday lives. Every day we wake up and utilize things that would not be possible without science. Our transportation methods, the computers we use, the clothes on our backs, the cellular devices we use to communicate with each other, and most importantly medicine are due to the improvements of science. However, this revolution of life and its standards are due human curiosity. Without the curiosity of mankind, all these things would not be available to us. Therefore, it is important to note the history of science and the individuals that were curious and pushed science into what it is today.

Even though science can be very mind boggling it is often at times misunderstood by many, it draws together model experimental developments and concepts in conjunction with matter, gadgets, and other devices because scientists contributes different conveniences for the different communities to develop and expand their individual awareness. It helps one to better understand the invention of recreating mass and matter. As an attempt to look at the continuing debate of the true role science plays in public education this paper will address not only the concepts of coaching and instructing students as they learn the importance of the science world and the role it plays in educating students alone with their parents within the settings of the public school. Science plays a great role in our every day lives. As we view science through the eye of public education we will experiment science and education as an antidote, learn the evolution of education in science and examine the importance of museums as an environment for learning. This is an attempt to look at the continuing debate of the role science plays in public schools. While we examine different views of the general public this paper will try to explain why I feel science is an important concept to public education.
