My:

I grew up wanting to be the boss even though I was shy and had a little speech problem. I first wanted to be a teacher because my mother was a teacher back in my country.

I have been tutoring my two brothers and I have seen how my technique in learning works. I have help in the math subject and reading subject. One of them is placed in gifted program for his ability in math and with the advanced of technology, It was possible to gain the information that I needed to teach a 2nd grade. It was when I start teaching my little brother how to read big words for his next school year that I thought about teaching 2nd graders.

The public school system have puts the teacher constrained by common core standards and test. I am more toward teaching in a private school although the payment issue is not better, but the government system have less power over the private schools. I want to be the one to be more involve in decision making for my students.

The smaller they are, the more creativity, imagination that can be used to help in a lesson plan. I want to help second graders get ready for their next year. Public school in America are not doing so well in advance education. I hope to teach 2nd graders in a public school. I really want to teach 3rd graders in a private school. That was by far the most memorial part of my childhood learning how to read big words, math tables, and facts about the

I actually change a little, that one student that I have a long time not seeing,” ask me what is wrong with my voice”. I was being funny, loving and being interacting with the kids that I also gain patient knowing that all students learn differently and all student have different parents. Some kids never have their parents scream or yell at them. I think that hard things as a teacher is helping students understand the different voice tone. By that I mean “Is the teacher really serious”, is she kidding”, or “is she playing with me”. One of the strength I get is able to connect with them and get in their level of

    Please draft your teaching Philosophy (max 250 words): As a Teaching Assistant, I believe there are two main goals that must be accomplished: keeping my own integrity and credibility in tact at all times and doing my best to assist students in their learning and studying. One’s integrity comes before learning because it is a virtue that take time to earn and can be diminished in seconds. I believe that as a Teaching Assistant, before I assist in learning, I must establish my own integrity to my students and relay to no-tolerance policy of dishonesty and cheating. Secondly, it is a teacher’s responsibility to assist their students in learning the best way possible. A teacher needs patience and diligence in order to help their students grow in their learning.…
