My Strengths As A Teacher

Improved Essays
Generally speaking, I believe I am a strong teacher. I am still learning, however, I believe that I will only continue to become better with experience. As an educator it is very important that I make sure that each and everyone of my students is able to learn. I believe one of my biggest strengths is being able to do so. I adhere to all learning styles while teaching. I present my students with a wide variety of methods to solving problems while teaching.

This is something that I haven’t quite learned yet but definitely need to learn. I need to learn how to adapt on the spot to further the idea that I am teaching. I tend to just follow my lesson plan exactly and when I reach the end I conclude my lesson. I need to learn how to expand on the ideas I have taught based on the needs of my
