Substitute teacher

I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, raised in Texas, where I lived until summer of 2010. In 2010, I moved to Alabama, where I graduated High School May 2014. I am currently majoring in early childhood education as an undergraduate at University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a child, I grew up in eastern part of Texas. I attended schools in the Keller School District until middle school. Middle school year my family and I moved closer to family members, in Tyler, Texas, where I attended…

experienced getting in trouble at school? It is 6th grade I am in the computer lab with a substitute teacher and my class. My friend and I are throwing an eraser back and forth and it hits the teacher. The substitute is furious with us, the next day the my teacher calls my mom. When I come home I find out that my phone has been shut off and I am forced to write an Apology letter for the previous day teacher. The lesson I learned from this experience is that if you choose to make a decision these…

I believe that my motivation for becoming a teacher came from familiarity in the field of education. My collegiate career by no means once encompassed becoming a teacher, I just appreciated researching and working in the laboratory, but I recognize that something was missing I didn’t know it at the time. My inspiration for being an educator came from the time I’ve spent in my church, I was predisposed by leading a bible study. I had up to that time had worked as an assistant with children’s…

My public school career was one filled with corruption, incompetence, and hardships. There were teachers who would fail you for no reason or kids who would try to frame you for things simply because they didn’t like the way you dressed. With the exceptions of a few students and teachers, I experienced some of the worst sides of the Loudoun County Public School system. I find myself glad that I learned all the lessons I did from those hard times because without them I would not be the person I am…

around it for whatever was going on that week. I only got it one time; spelling was never really a strong suit for me not until much, much later. Second grade was back with Mrs. Crawford again. This was another excellent year because she was the teacher that got to teach us phonics, yes we waited until second grade to really delve into the world of phonics rather than kindergarten like the do now. Also, second grade is where we really started getting science and social studies for the first…

profession. If a teacher does not truly enjoy going to school early every morning and staying late to grade papers in order to better the lives’ of their students, they should not be a teacher. Even though I am only twenty-two years old, I have already become accustomed to a teaching lifestyle. In 2012 I started substitute teaching during breaks from college and during the semester when I was available. I am overjoyed when I receive a phone call from the high or middle school about a substitute…

underlined text to emphasize areas of importance. ORGANIZATION: A class syllabus can vary from teacher to teacher, but they generally follow a similar format. Usually a syllabus will start out with a course description followed by the rules and expectations of the students. Then come the course objectives, topics, units, and dates. After outlining the assignments and deadlines typically the teacher will discuss his or her grading policy. This document should be well organized and contain…

ball or the world ball. For instance “When teacher- coaches travel for games, schools have to hire substitutes” (Ripley 11). This means, school has to pay another teacher, while the teacher is at away games. Also the teacher they have to plan something while they're away. A lot of work! The school have to pay the teacher and the substitute. Teachers have to make a plane, when they are gone. Most of the time the substitutes don’t teach. Why should teachers spend time making planes, when they…

Assistant Teacher at SK Intercultural Association We see more and more immigrants in Canada and not all of them happen to speak or fully understand the English language. By working at SK Intercultural Association I will be attempting to help all these individuals learn English and get accustomed to how things run in Canada. Since I am quite social and can get along with almost anyone I believe I’ll be able to work well with the teacher and the students. Moreover, I also happen to speak Arabic…

After watching the film “Teachers” I felt slightly discouraged, as the scenario of students slipping through the cracks, not learning to their potential, and being bound from the opportunity of success, is true. Now, that being said, I don’t think students can graduate without the ability to read or write, however I do believe that some students are just passed along never receiving the help they require due to the fact that teachers can only do so much on their own, and that teaching the…
