Decent Essays
Over this past semester I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge and experience that I can and will use in my future career as a teacher. I attempted to use the knowledge that I had learned in class in my field experience at the Tri-County Career Center to improve on my teaching skills and overall professionalism. In retrospective, I feel as though I have really made some progress as to becoming a teacher but there were areas in some of the teaching dispositions that I need more improvement on. I will address both my strengths and weaknesses in each of the four teaching dispositions that we have discussed in class in this paper. The first teaching disposition that we talked about in class regarded high expectations for students and …show more content…
My goal as ta future teacher is to provide a quality education for all my students, meaning that the students are receiving the information and teaching needed for them to become the quality adults they need to be in the future. I am one hundred percent for inclusion of students who would benefit most from it. I want my classroom to be inviting for all my students. I want them to feel comfortable in school and in my class. The most important role of a teacher is being a positive role model. I will strive to create great rapport with my students because it opens the gate to maximum learning. I will strive to know the most I can about what I will be teaching my students so I can put them in the best position to utilize the skills throughout life. I realize that not all students learn the same or at the same pace. Having an inclusive classroom will be no easy task but it is a necessary one in my opinion. I think that for this reason having an inclusive class will benefit all my students. It will teach them that the world isn’t full of people that are exactly like them. There is a wide variety of people and learners out there and getting people to work together will help them in the long run. It is my responsibility to modify and accommodate my students in any means necessary for their success in my class and growth and an individual. I will encounter a wide variety of learners in my future and it is my duty to take what I have learned from the teaching dispositions and my experience so far in my schooling to benefit all my students. I will do this by becoming engaged in their lives, committed to their constant growth, mindful of their learning styles, aware of emotions, involved in the community, dedicated to self and student reflection, and faithful to the idea of creating an positive learning environment for

    As educators we are continuously trying to make connections with the students we are intrusted to guide, and mentor. To create for them a foundation which will make their lives in some measurable way better. However, many educators although well versed on pedagogical practices, fail to understand the role in which creating more culturally inclusive classrooms will have dramatic improvements on whole school, and teacher student relationships. As noted by inclusiveclassrooms.org: “As teachers, so many of our exclusionary practices are ones we do not even recognize. Practices we have known and loved our whole lives may have implications for students, simply because of cultural differences.…

    In 2009 the United States of America tried to create an equal learning system nationwide that is now a set and standard learning procedure about what children should be learning in school for future college and career readiness called Common Core Standards. However, not every single state uses the standards because they are based on the best of the state's academic goals that have already been accomplished. Common Core Standards have had a big impact on public schools, teachers, and families across the country and are helping children of America become more prepared for college and their future careers, but the Common Core Standards are making it worse for the children that cannot meet the standards of the schools' goals. Like with any…

    Every day I’m surrounded by others who share the same passion as I do. We all want to become educators. We want to spend our days with little ones expanding their minds and setting up a strong educational foundation for the rest of their lives. Although we all share this same desire, there are major differences in the way we view teaching and how we will teach our future students. Even if we weren’t aware of it, these differences began the moment we were born, and have continued to change throughout our lives.…

    Many are unaware of the positive results of having a diverse classroom and that it is important to keep affirmative action policies that looks at having a diverse group. From experience, I find find myself more comfortable when I see other minorities in the classes. This is because when you feel more welcomed and you have a sense of belonging since you know that at least one other person in the class looks like you. Having a diverse classroom leads to more enhanced conversations. For example, a class may have a discussion about discrimination in the United States that would consist of a students with diverse backgrounds and experiences.…

    While reading both of these articles my question did not change. It gave a great analysis of how to implement an inclusive teaching environment. From the research on both papers, there is a consensus that teachers must continually assess themselves and the students, create an inclusive learning environment, and try to cater to all the students needs in their lesson plans. If there is one thing I would like to see in any future research is more hard data, numbers to see how this type of teaching has benefited the students.…

    Journalist, satirist and cultural critic H.L. Mencken once said, "The aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner". However, in retrospect, my time within the Australian public education system has shown me that in Australia, this is not the case. Being a part of this system for the past thirteen years of my life, I have come to realise that our education system, powered by teachers who have the potential to inspire and innovate, have caged their students in cells haunted by repetition. We memorise facts to pass a test and forget about them later. We are trained to conform to the…

These challenges can be overcome, however, if the teacher believes in their students ability to learn, and is able to inspire and motivate them.

    Observation: As part of my research paper for three days I observed an inclusive classroom for two hours each day. During this time I was able to see how the general education teacher handles real life teaching situations in a classroom that has students with different abilities and six whom have IEP’s for numerous reasons such as emotional disorders. During my observation I took notes on both the students behavior and the strategies implemented by the teacher. The observation helped me to further evaluate the importance of inclusive classrooms and the influence an educator has on these students.…
