Teaching is so much more than just being able to have students pass a test. Teaching is about preparing the next generation to be successful in life. The children today determine what the world will be like tomorrow. It is our job as educators to ensure the future will be positive. The first step to educating is making sure that the students are interested in the material.
There are many tools that are available to teachers today and new tools are being created every day. I know there are many different types of learners. As a teacher, I will use my knowledge of the Universal Design for Learning to try to reach all of the different types of learners.
Students today are surrounded by technology. The one place where technology is still repressed is in schools. Many teachers view technology in classrooms as a distraction. I feel like technology has a place in classroom. There are my online applications that can actually help a student read and practice math. Some schools are providing their students with personal chrome books. As a teacher I would encourage my students to use these book to perform research because on the Internet they can find resources that are not available from textbooks. I feel an increase use of technology will generate more excitement for students to come to school.
I think it is also important as a teacher to maintain traditional methods of education such as handwriting and class lectures. Handwriting develops motor skills that children use outside of the classroom and some students learn best in a lecture setting so it is important to cater to their needs as well.
As a teacher I will be very motivating. I want students to want to come to my class. I want to be some one that he students know they can come to if they have a question. I will incorporate hands-on activities in my class to generate critical thinking. I will push my students so each and every one will reach his or her full potential.
