Shaffer On Education

Show More
My first grade teacher, Mrs. Shaffer, was one of the biggest influences on me becoming a teacher. She was loving, caring, fun, never yelled or raised her voice, helped me to read, and made me feel safe in her classroom. Ever since being in Mrs. Shaffer's class, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love working with children. Throughout the years I have had some amazing mentors who have also influenced and guided me through the profession.
I’ve been in education for more than 8 years. These years include, pre - kindergarten, kindergarten, second grade, and assistant principal. Currently I am a second grade SEI math teacher. If I were to pick my greatest contribution to the profession, I would have to say it would be working as an assistant

    Personal Narrative: My Favorite Teacher Alisa Fliss

    My favorite teacher was Alisa Fliss. Alisa Fliss was my 10th grade English teacher. She brought a passion for words, literature, and poetry not only into the classroom but into the students hearts as well. Coming from a school where we weren't expected to pass, much less enjoy school, her class was the one class we all anticipated going to, and the one class we all reluctantly had to leave at the end of the day. Not only did she make learning enjoyable to a bunch of kids who would rather skip out of school and hang out at the mall, but she truly did believe in you, your capabilities, and your potential to do anything or be anyone you wanted to be.…

    Personal Narrative: A Memory Of Miss Cc's Class

    A memory I have from Miss CC’s class was Jay’s reaction when he ate the really sour lemon after we learned how to garnish. Another memory from Miss CC’s class was when Mackenzie Wallace said that the “Protein Guy’s” muscles were bigger than her future. A memory that I have from a different class was when Mr. Lord pretended to be his son throwing a fit and started to roll around on the floor. A memory with my family was when I got my new Paint horse, Cherokee. At my 13th birthday party, my really small friend, Aleah, was holding onto a baseball bat.…

    Positively Impacted Me

    One teacher that I think positively impacted me to become more mature was Ms. X because when I used to be childish and immature, she told me that if I keep acting like that I will not get anywhere in life. I should act more mature so I can do something great with my life. She helped me get out of some trouble because I got in trouble for talking and she told me not to talk and act better. She gave me advice about stuff whenever I needed it. I didn't get into trouble that much because she helped me act better and avoid trouble.…

    The Importance Of Working As A Teacher Assistant

    To me, working as a teacher assistant is very important. It brings a lot of interesting challenges and the idea of working with children to help develop their natural skills is what I look forward to. Working with young children is significant because I think this is the age that they are the most impressionable so teaching them at this stage is very important. During my college summer breaks I had the opportunity to be employed by the Briner Christian School of Academic Ellienence and Exposure. My duties involved lesson preparation, classroom management and a wide range of children’s learning activities.…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To The Medical Field

    One of the best moments of my life was during a mission trip I was on with Matt and Trish, as well as the remaining youth group. For one week we traveled down to Knoxville, Tennessee where we helped various organizations and groups with building offices, volunteering at homeless shelters, and the moment that transformed me as a person. This was called “Under the Bridge.” What happens is, multiple homeless shelter organizations from around the city and state come together for one night and, under a highway overpass, they bring food, clothes, and necessities for the homeless community. The most vivid image I have from this experience was witnessing a man in ripped clothing and a hunched posture walk up to the speaker where Christian music was…
