Why I Feel Called to Teach I see teaching as a lifestyle rather than a job. I feel called to teach because I simply love children. When I think of my future, I picture my life centered on something that I truly love doing. As a teacher, that’s exactly what I will get to do. I believe that teaching is one of the few jobs where you can make an impact on our world’s future. Spending time with children as well as getting to know them and making an impact on their lives brings much joy to me.…

A school leader should be able to demonstrate the knowledge and understandings of seven essential standards that promote the success of all students these are: developing a vision and a plan for the school, promoting a positive school culture and climate, instructional leader, efficient and effective manager of the organization, collaborating with families and the community, acting fairly, ethically, and with integrity, and responds to and influences the politics, social, economic, legal, and…
in her study, “The children had no access to materials. These were handed out by teachers and closely guarded. Things in the room ‘belonged’ to the teacher: ‘Bob, bring me the garbage can,’. The teacher continually gave the children orders”(Anyon 169). This just depicts that these working class schools are just making future low wage workers for larger companies. It shows the students being barked at by their teacher like how they would be barked at by the boss of a factory. These students are…
learning tool in the classroom. Compared to students’ use of technology outside school, in-school technology usage is much less intensive and extensive (Lim, Zhao, Tondeur, Chai & Tsai, 2013, p. 59). Teachers are held responsible for using more technology as they teach. This responsibility means that teachers must teach the skills that students need to move from knowing how to use technology tools to understanding…
strengths based approach focused on the strengths of students rather than their weaknesses. This approach to behaviour management grants students the opportunity to fell important, it also allows them to realise their own potential and see their teachers as partners in learning (Grant & Cadell, 2009). While a disciplinary approach can leave students feeling anxious and only has a short term effect over classroom behaviour as it does nothing to tackle the problem of…
Philosophy of Education When I envision my role as a teacher, I see myself in an environment that is open, safe, and supportive. This is a place where students are encouraged to have their own thoughts, and consider the thoughts of other people. I hope to help students develop the personal tools needed to have fulfilling physical, social, and emotional lives inside and outside of school. In order to do this, it is my job as an educator to ensure that each student has the opportunity and means…
Final Exam According to Guardian News Editor, Sarah Marsh (2015), over 80% of teachers polled said that they started teaching because they loved working with children and more than 70% quit their teaching jobs because of the huge work load. As a teacher, I will face the challenge of dealing with school violence, having to modify my teaching to fit into many different learning abilities, along with motivating parents to get involved in their child’s education. Although challenging, teaching can…
and gentlemen. I would like to begin by thanking the parents and stakeholders in this community for their hard work and dedication to both the students of the school and in our district. "Technology won 't replace teachers...but teachers who use technology will probably replace teachers who do not"(Tarte). This quote is actually from a tweet from Dr. Justin Tarte, a Director of Teaching and Learning. This quote, ironically in the form of a tweet, Is a highly discussed topic within the…
amount of funding received. The No Child Left Behind Act in 2001 was the beginning of a controversy by holding schools responsible based on standardized tests. Which caused either less funding or replacement of an entire staff. Putting pressure on teachers to go beyond their limits to keep their job. Although success cannot be reached if funding is not given to the proper schools. Studies have shown that low poverty schools receive less funding than from those richer schools. It is time to face…
