I Want to Become a Teacher Essay

Every teacher has their own motives to answer why they chose this profession. According to Don Kauchak and Paul Eggen (2014), some of those reasons may include job security especially due to the teacher shortage (p. 9), personal and intellectual growth (p. 7), being able to have most holidays off (p. 8), wanting to make a difference (p. 7), or seeing each student’s progression towards improvements in a particular subject area (Kauchak and Eggen, 2014, p. 14). Although there are several…

At the age of 5, I was medically diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers Autism. I never knew how hard it would be to overcome this adversity. My education was very important to me and I knew that I wanted to go to college to become a teacher, but didn't think I could because of my disability. All throughout my school experience I have had difficulties with teachers not understanding how I comprehend things. My life took a positive turn when I was in seventh grade. Rebecca became my behavioral…

What if the way immigrants are viewed in American society becomes a positive one. Helping immigrants and helping ourselves in the process is the best way to work together on some immigration issues. I propose a program that will help immigrants who want to live in the country learn the English language. In return helping our soon to be teachers get hands-on training for their degree requirements. Along with learning the language immigrants could tell their stories of where they came from and why…

To get a better understanding of what meaningful teaching is I interviewed two different teachers. First, Mrs. Cox is a self-contained third through fifth grade special education teacher with more than fifteen years’ experience in the field of Special Education. Then, I interviewed Miss Mundy an inclusive first grade classroom teacher with five years of teaching experiences. Although there are many differences between Mrs. Cox and Miss Mundy, such as year experience, classroom settings, and…

elementary school I remember doing the 5E model during science. My teacher had all the students engaged during science and I was eager to learn more. Now that I am learning about the 5E inquiry model it makes me realize that students need to be engaged in their learning. I chose this question because I have done some previous lesson plans using the 5E model. I like to teach students by getting them active and having them do a lot of the work instead of listening to me talk the whole time. I want…

I will become an Early Childhood Education teacher one day. The type of teacher I will be is dependent on my type of philosophy. My philosophy will help me determine crucial aspects like how I want my classroom set up, the different ways I will teach my students, what kinds of goals and decisions I will make, and ultimately what I want my students to take out of my class when the end of the year comes. To some degree, I am a combination of all the types of philosophies: essentialist,…

in life. With this in mind it is important to remember that we need to focus on building our teachers and staff to be the best they can possibly be. In a perfect world the school vison would include sections that discuss what the educator looks like and what the steps would be to get them there. Sometimes the vision plans discusses the role of the administrator and teacher, but this is not all of the time. I would include in this vision plan what Palatka High School could look if it were to be…

When I look back at my elementary years, I remember being irritated for having to go through the long writing process. I laugh to myself now because I chose this as my research topic. I chose this topic because I think writing is such a crucial curriculum standard for all students to feel comfortable with. I remember in middle school working on the writing process all the way up to even high school. Now I am happy that I had teachers who believed in using the writing process. I feel the writing…

College I am being called to pursue a degree in education and eventually become a Christian, education teacher. Through this education course of learning environments I have learned much about what it means to be a teacher and more importantly, what it means to be a Christian teacher. God has called me to purse the field of education, not only as a occupation, but as more than that, Van Dyk describes in the book, The Craft of Christian Teaching, ways in which individuals are called to be…
