Becoming a teacher has always been a dream of mine because of my love for kids. I believe I will make a great teacher when using these four components: professionalism, beliefs, guidance, and involving families. These four components help with becoming a good teacher, colleague, and person. Using these four components is my way of knowing I will be the best teacher I can be and to not give up on my dreams. It will also help me to make sure my students don't give up either. Professionalism…
Personal Identity is something I have never sat down and specifically thought about. Lucky for me I have seldom had an instance where I was disadvantaged because of my identity. I think that everyone has parts of themselves that they dislike-it is human nature, but we are who we are and I believe that everyone needs to be proud of that. The person I identify with is different than anyone else but that what makes humans so incredible. The person I identify with is someone who I am proud of in…
we can do for our students. As future teachers, we need to research ways to add reading for enjoyment back into the classrooms. Every teacher knows state testing is important, but it is not more important than knowing how to read. My first critique is he works in Los Angeles where most of his students are poor and are minorities, so why does he assumes all schools are just like his? Another critique I have is his problem with sticky notes. I use them when I read, to take notes, or to remember…

Two of the many skills I have acquired are from the Husky Compact, acting with integrity and responsibility and seeking and applying knowledge. My daily schedule has allowed me to learn and adopt these skills. Along with many other college freshmen, I have never had a schedule where I could have multiple…
After years of roaming the halls of your high school, especially in a small town such as I, you have already detected the various types of teachers. We don’t do this on purpose, but how can you not pay attention to who cares about your future and who is there for a paycheck? Some teachers have been here since our parents attended and can relate to the same generalizations that we have come to and that opinion is passed for years to come. There are instructors who appeal more to some than others,…
Action Assignment #2: Teacher Interview On the days of September 3rd and September 4th of the year 2016, I interviewed two former teachers of mine from Lincoln Alternative Academy, a high school alternative option in Stillwater, Ok. Aaron Frisby, an English and literature teacher, was interviewed the first day, and Scott Peterman, a Government and social studies teacher, was interviews on the second day. Because of the unique environment of Lincoln, I chose to interview two instructors, in…
others due to their knowledge and wisdom, therefore teacher appreciation was associated with their high value in societies. In 561 B.C. Confucius, the first private teacher in history, was desirable to teach the sons of the nobles. However, his journey to receive his good reputation was not that simple since only the royal or noble could receive an education. Seeing as Confucius had an enormous craving to…
to let their students experiment and learn about concepts they cannot be tested on. As a teacher, I hope to never become overly preoccupied by test scores. My main priority is for my students to leave my classroom with knowledge, a love of learning, and the ability to investigate. Since I believe that these concepts are my goal, I fall most in line with the Constructivism and Progressivism philosophies. I believe that Progressivism is one of the most important philosophies because not all…
