Early Childhood Classroom History

Improved Essays
I’ve always found myself working with kids for a good portion of my life, but until I started learning about being a proper History teacher in a classroom with lesson plans and detentions and all that business, I was mostly focused on general teaching and counseling. I’d always been good at interacting with kids and teenagers, getting them to focus on one activity or another and being a source of support for them. It was my comfort zone for a long time, a job or activity I could always fall back on to make some summer cash or earn some community service hours. Throughout my highschool years , tutoring became a big part of how I kept myself involved in things outside of studying and more studying. It wasn’t until when i started tutoring

    Starting at the end of 8th grade, I worked for a couple of years with a student one-on-one during his 4th-6th grade years. Although he was older than the students I would work with in the K-3 program, I learned to respond to individual student needs and the power of firm patience. In high school, I occasionally assisted two elementary students at my church during pre-service prayer at midweek bible study—with the permission…

    As far as my insight on tutoring, I would say in future teacher, tutoring, I would definitely plan to do more one on one with students. Being in a classroom with other children studying as well was not helpful, because they seemed to want to watch everyone else but the teacher. My overall experience of the tutoring was great. I have really enjoyed getting to know the children at the Boys and Girls Club. It has helped me gain patience with the young children and helped me understand the importance of teaching and tutoring.…

    The first time Mr. Sam assigned me to a younger kid class was after I got my first degree black belt. I was so scared I did not know what to do or what to say. In about 5 minutes the younger kids started liking me, we started having a lot of fun and after that day I was no longer scared of working with the younger kids. Now I love teaching the younger kids because they just want to have fun and they do not care if you mess up because they just laugh at it and move on. They accept you as you are and don’t care about your mistakes.…

    Ever since I was a little girl I knew that I wanted to be a teacher; after all I was that child with the double sided easel board and large pieces of colored chalk to write with. Although, back then, I taught in a living room that was filled with imaginary students, the ones who would ask me hundreds of questions as I scribbled away unintelligibly on the easel. It is hard to imagine that this little game of mine was more than fifteen years ago and that my dream to be a teacher still exists today. Throughout my time as a college student, I have been required to do fieldwork in the public school system, where I was introduced to a plethora of real students. My time doing fieldwork has led me to believe that I love working with children and…

    My Educational Autobiography Education to me used to mean sitting in a classroom and soaking up information that would probably never be useful to me. Now, I do agree with at least trying to find the use of what is being taught. If a topic is being discussed, it’s more than likely to have some level of educational value. I learn best by doing research and working with others rather than sitting through a discussion, so throughout high school, I didn’t exactly understand the material the same as my peers because each class very rarely incorporated this style of learning.…
