me. I have a goal to become the best writer that I possibly can. I believe with the right education and the correct guidance, I can achieve that goal.

In addition, teachers have to increase their knowledge and professional growth by taking classes on-line, communicating with other professionals and attending workshops in schools or universities. There are many goals that I have accomplished in this program and I can assure that I have acquired positive results from every single goal.

As I grew up, I started to ask my teachers what benefits they got from being one; the answer I received the most was vacation. During my years in primary and secondary…

When I entered college, I contemplated majoring in Education and going straight into teaching because it was of serious interest to me. However, I chose to go another route with my major. After working for a few years in another field, I decided…
ethical conduct include high standards of honesty, integrity, and confidentiality. “The purpose of schools is to educate students.” While this may seem obvious, it is imperative that this main foundational goal be recognized in showing professionalism as the core of education. Teachers should always put the students first, and have the student’s welfare…

evolving personal goals and values? How are they being or how will they be affected by the mission statement? My evolving personal goal at Marywood University is to be the unsurpassed student and believe in myself. Often times, I look for other people’s approval such as from my teachers or professors.
