I Want To Become A Future Teacher

Decent Essays
When we are children, many of us dream to become a ballerina, movie star, princess, astronaut, or even a firefighter. However, when I was a child, I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to stand at the front of a classroom and teach students. I grew up always using my imagination by playing with my dolls by myself, perfectly happy. My parents would look into my room seeing my mouth moving, but no sound coming out. I could be in my own little world for hours on end. I would set up my own classroom, give my students or dolls spelling tests, and even grade them. I had a classroom right in my own room. However, it did not end there.
Throughout my time being a student, I have found that I can recall every name of every teacher I had in grade school. However, there were only a few teachers that

Seeing different strategies modeled by my own professors has really guided me into wanting my classroom to be a hands-on and interactive environment. I do not want to always be the one leading conversations and teaching; I want my students to explore ideas on their own with self-exploration, discussing concepts with their peers and learning to dive deeper into understanding the concepts because they genuinely want to know more. However, I also know what I do not want to do as a teacher from the professors and teachers I have had throughout my time in school.

I hope to have clear expectations and goals for my students to reach that challenge them to work at their full potential. Through the teachers I have had, my philosophy for teaching children has continued to grow as I form my own opinions on how I want my classroom to look, feel, and

    I am currently student teaching in a 4th grade classroom at Sunset Elementary under my master teach, Alissa Nakaji. Upon my first day, I instantly fell in love with the dynamics of the classroom. The classroom had colorful posters explaining rules, consequences, inspirational quotes, and a list of roles for each student (changed weekly). This classroom feels more like a community of students striving together to have an optimal learning experience instead of just one teacher demanding and controlling the students. It is very autonomous and the teacher is involved only when needed.…

    1 I come from a long line of educators and administrators on both sides of my family. Various relatives of mine have taught me to understand and appreciate the importance of education. This being the case, they have inspired my decision to be a teacher, preferably an elementary school teacher. Last year, I sat in on my aunt’s third grade class at Washington Irving, an elementary school in my district that I attended for three years. After visiting the classroom a handful of times, I absolutely fell in love.…
