Teaching assistant

Personal Statement Anebi Adoga, Jr., Spain, ETA I am inspired to serve as an English Teaching Assistant in Spain by my love and appreciation of Spain, by my previous experiences as a teacher, by a desire to engage in dialogue with people who differ from me, and by a desire to pursue a career as a lawyer who will advocate for the less fortunate or a government professor who will help create and teach about policy’s that can help the most vulnerable in society. I love and appreciate Spain because…

I knew from a young age that teaching was what I was meant to do. Shadowing a teacher for a day in eight grade cemented for me that I was going to be a teacher. While the age of the student I was wanting to teach has changed as I've gotten older that drive to teach has never left. Working as an Educational Assistant at St. Louis Community College has only poured gasoline on that fire and passion for teaching. I can no longer put off pursuing my education to become a mathematics professor.…

had their own teaching style, which required me to be able to adapt in order to learn as much as possible. The varied from deceptively relaxed discussion mode classes to very structured and detailed ones.

From my childhood, I remember telling everyone that “I want to be a doctor when I grow up”. I don’t recall how I learn such answer, but I know for sure that it was my parents who opened the door to my imagination. There were many times when I asked myself if I would follow the goal, mostly because I was in a dilemma of figuring out if such…

Please draft your teaching Philosophy (max 250 words): As a Teaching Assistant, I believe there are two main goals that must be accomplished: keeping my own integrity and credibility in tact at all times and doing my best to assist students in their learning and studying. One’s integrity comes before learning because it is a virtue that take time to earn and can be diminished in seconds. I believe that as a Teaching Assistant, before I assist in learning, I must establish my own integrity to…

I have decided to apply for a teacher position as I would like to develop my skills and knowledge acquired during being a Teaching Assistant. I support students who work towards Functional Skills qualifications in Maths. I also take part in Craft courses which, in some cases, give possibility to gain the Aim Awards qualifications. I have enjoyed working with adult learners and see when they succeed. As I grew up in a family where education was an important part of our life I always felt a…

My first placement took place at a special educational needs (SEN) secondary school where I was employed as a teaching assistant. My duties were varied as I would often help children who struggled with the work because of their disabilities but also perform menial tasks such as photocopying. However by doing all of this I gained valuable experience of working in a school, knowledge of learning difficulties and improved upon many of my transferable skills. Communication skills Throughout my time…

Team teaching, co-teaching, collaborative teaching, interdisciplinary teaching—there exists much disagreement in how refer to the strategy, but researchers agree that empirical analyses are lacking regarding the topic (Hanover Research, 2012; Aliakbari & Bazyar 2012).

Furthermore I was able to review the IEPs of two students in the second grade classroom. The school I did my observations is Hammond Elementary School is the elementary school I chose to complete my educational field…
