is that teachers should have to pass a basic certification test that shows they are eligible to teach students what they need to learn. The author supports this main idea by giving examples of teachers in certain states who take the basic test and are unable to pass it. Therefore, they are unable to help students learn the things they are in school for. The secondary main idea in this essay is that thousands of teachers fail the basic skills test, but still maintain their job as a teacher. The…
committed, educated, understanding, teachers. Children have the potential to change the world and offer something unique and new. They are all special individuals. Each student has many different talents and abilities. I will help them find these talents and abilities and I will help them mature so they can use these talents and help them grow. Not one child is the same, but they all do possess the power to make a difference. I have a very strong passion for teaching, and I believe in what…
I am seeking admission to the Region One Integrated Leadership Program because I am now pursuing a leadership role in administration to better help our educators better serve our children. I have been working as a 5th grade teacher for 7 years now and at the end of each school year I reflect on my growth as their educator and my student’s growth and their learning. As a future administrator I strongly believe that in order to achieve results one must be able to analyze student data base on…
practicum experience, I notice that I went in with biases and I tried not to act on them. One of the biases I had was that it was going to be like the school that I went to since it was a title one schools too with variety…
Reading A White Teacher Talks About Race has helped open my eyes to how much diversity there really is in our education system. It has shown me how race, economic status, exceptionality, and many life challenges affect a student’s attendance, work ethic, and grades. This book also helped me gain perspective on what life may be like for students that face discrimination, such as finding a job, having enough food and shelter, taking care of their children, and much more. One big lesson I got out…
states that learning with a teacher may not be beneficial in the long term. In our society learning is always based on what a teacher teaches us. We don’t learn anything exactly what should be learned, but the things that a teacher wants us to learn. Everything is prepared beforehand by the teachers and the students accept that without any efforts made. The trend about learning with a guide has been going on for generations to generations but I don’t agree that a teacher is always necessary to…

A lot of people say that being an elementary teacher isn’t the best choice above all, but I disagree. I think if somebody likes children and they don’t care about the salary, then being an elementary teacher is a perfect job. Honestly, I would love to work with Children and having two months off every year (“Elementary School Teacher Salary”). Teachers do a lot of stuff. Most people think that all they do is teach children, but they honestly do a lot more than that. They do teach children…

Since I was young I believe it was in the first grade is when I knew that being a teacher is what I wanted to do. I would set up dolls and stuffed animals in front of my chalkboard and pretend that I had a class full students that I was teaching. Then when I was in fourth grade I was given the opportunity to help in an after school program called Pass. The Pass program took students who struggled in a certain subject or subjects and allowed them extra time after school to get help. My part…
