Teacher As A Future Teacher

Every little child has an ideal dream job that they want to do when they grow up. I was one of those little children telling my parents all kinds of things, but when I got to high school I realized I wanted to be a teacher. Ever since then I have realized that I am grateful for all the fantastic teachers I had through high school. They made me realize further why I wanted to become a teacher. I believe one of the most important things about becoming a teacher is helping influence the students of the future like my teachers did for me.

Despite the negative findings about trauma in children there is some positive findings as well. Findings show that teachers can play an important role and help alter the learning process on childhood trauma victims by understanding the signs being presented, helping and taking action with the broken students within the class, and bring to mind outside professionals as needed.

I learned a lot from doing this interview. One thing thing in particular that I appreciated was that he said he did not always anticipate becoming a principal or wanting to be a one and decided to become a principal after several years as a teacher. I have been very indecisive about my career path so learning that you can decide later and still succeed helped calm my nerves. When I asked, Mr. Evans stated that he does not regret becoming a principal, which is a big fear of mine; that I will spend years working towards a position and then regret it or wish I had taken another path. Another point I learned is that, according to him, the current climate in the country is generally not so favorable toward teaching in a public school. He said that because of this, as a leader, it is especially important to give positive feedback whenever possible and to let the teachers know they are doing a good job. One of the most interesting points Mr. Evans made during the interview was when he said he needs to be as much of a cheerleader as anything else. I also learned that, a lot of the times, moments when your ethics will be questioned are the result of miscommunication or misperception. Leaders must always be reflective in those situations and look at whether there was something that could have been done better or differently. Even if a person does not have any facts right, it is best to at least apologize for how they are feeling about a situation and then go from there.

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

Teaching can be a rewarding profession, but it can also be a cause of stress for some. Conflicts arise in any situation where groups of people are placed together. A classroom filled with students will inevitably face conflicts. How the teacher approaches and solves these will determine the outcome of feeling successful or stressed.

The role of a teacher in today’s world is a complex and diverse one. Not only teachers play a crucial and vital role in providing content area knowledge to students, but also providing intellectual and social development, having integrity, being honest and always modeling appropriate conduct in the classroom and the community. Being a teacher is much more than just executing lesson plans; they also carry the role of effectively communicate with a variety of constituents, applicate of the Code of Ethics and Principles of Professional Conduct, and comprehend the grounds and procedures for disciplinary actions that can be imposed by the Education Practices Commission.

Since I was a little girl, I have been vehemently drawn towards a career as a teacher. As we get older, we tend to change our career aspirations from what we dreamed of as a child. For me, the career of choice and indeed my passion continues to be teaching. I have always enjoyed being around children and especially younger ones. Combining my passion for teaching and enjoyment of the company of younger children leads me to the belief that I should be an elementary school teacher. “An elementary school teacher is a person trained to educate children from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. They are responsible for the educational and emotional growth of children in a classroom setting, as well as managing the materials and resources used for

I want to teach because I believe that education is extremely important. Education is the foundation of success in life, and teachers can make a lasting effect on each student’s lives. I love to help others explore and learn new things, and teaching is a way for me to accomplish that. As a teacher, I will strive to promote positive learning, spark learner enthusiasm, and provide a strong foundation to my student for lifelong learning. As a future teacher, one of my many goals will be to develop a student-centered environment where students learn through social interaction and collaboration with the support of technology. I want to incorporate a number of teaching methods and approaches to accommodate a wide variety of learning styles and to meet the goals and objectives of the course or program being taught. Specifically, for English Language Learners in the general education classroom, I will provide more visuals and models, incorporate more group work, and incorporate the student’s home language and culture into the classroom. Students come from many racial, cultural, ethnical, and social-economic status backgrounds. Because of this, I will use culturally responsive teaching which is instruction that acknowledges and accommodates cultural diversity. I will build on students’ backgrounds to help them transition into my classroom. I believe that teachers should respect, celebrate, and recognize the normality of diversity in all areas of human life. I believe that

The first of the five is aptitude. Being a post secondary history teacher means you need to have good aptitude. According to the bureau of labor statics“Aptitude means the ability to do something or the natural ability to do something.” You need to be able to do basic skills but also be able to learn new skills. The bureau also states“A postsecondary teacher needs to have good critical thinking skills to conduct research experiments.” As a teacher you would need to go out into the field and learn/ study about you topic. A third thing the bureau says is “These teachers need good Interpersonal skills to work well with other and have good communication skills” When you are teaching you will be in front of students teaching or talking about the subject and without communication skills you would not be able to teach. According to the college board“A good post secondary teacher needs to be resourcefulness they need to be able to adapt their teaching style to the student's learning style.” You need to be prepared for any type of student who walks into your classroom. Also according to the college board“The teacher needs to have good writing skills in order to publish their findings and research” As i said before you will be publishing work you find. Without good writing skills you will not be able to do this task.

The integration of technology has help society to improve as itself, it means in social, cultural and economic aspects. What concern teachers, is how technology and this “knowledge society” might help the teaching-learning process inside the classroom. So, in order to continue improving society and specially the educational field we must consider what means to educate in knowledge society, how to teach in it and finally what skills are needed to know how to integrate technology inside the classroom.

Daniel Pink makes a solid, science built point regarding motivation 3.0 in his book “Drive”. For the 21st century we are in need of more people that allow themselves to have autonomy, purpose and mastery in their life to become successful and achieve happiness in their careers. Able to look at my future career as a specialist instructor/teacher in a different point of view. After reading every chapter I was able to see how I can apply some of these methods to achieve my goals and also be happy in my career. Most of us look at our future and think we need to pick a career that can offer us a 6 digit yearly income, without realizing if that career will bring us happiness. Drive was able to make me realize when looking at my future career I

Teachers and coaches are professionals in the our society who provide self worth, impart encouragement, and educate their students to become greater individuals in their adult lives. Becoming a teacher takes hard work, dedication, and discipline. Without teachers, people would be uneducated and would have no idea on how to perform or thrive in the real world. They reveal the knowledge necessary for each individual to find his or her own calling. When it comes to salary, teachers are not worried about the money because they care deeply about their students and the progress they make in their educational and daily lives.

“One of the most damaging myths prevailing in American education is the notion that good teachers are born and not made” (Darling-Hammond, 2012, p. ix). This seems to imply that teaching teachers is simply an identification process. Unfortunately, the identification of what makes an effective teacher is challenging (Cantrell & Kane, 2013), the process of becoming a teacher is consistently reported as a difficult and strenuous process (Akkerman & Meijer, 2011; Beijaard, Meijer, & Verloop, 2004), and identification of how best to train new teachers is unclear (Shuls & Ritter, 2013). These qualities of teacher education are unsettling in light of the international call to deliver relevant and high-quality teacher education
