I was drawn to the teaching profession because I enjoy working with children.
I view teaching as
a
constant
challenge
that
is
seldom,
if
ever,
boring.
The
realization
that
a
teacher
can
introduce
children to new worlds of information and open up new possibilities daily was motivation in itself for
me to select teaching as a profession many years ago.
What I try to do every day in my class is be a good listener, to guide instruction rather than lecture,
and be willing to use varied methodologies to foster learning.
I also strongly believe in establishing
and maintaining good communication with parents.
This can foster a positive learning atmosphere in
the classroom and can only enhance instruction.
Teaching to me is not a nine to five occupation.
It is a privilege and a tremendous responsibility.
I believe in placing my students as a priority during the school year and have a very support family who
accepts the fact that my teaching is important.
I would be a fool to say that I know everything there
is about teaching.
I am a life-long learner and want my students to become the same as well.
I do set high standards in my classroom and will not accept minimal effort from anyone including
myself.
If I am to expect a one hundred percent effort from my students, then it is only fair to say
that my students can expect the same from their teacher.
I really try to make teaching an interesting
and personally rewarding experience for my students while at the same time trying to have fun with
what we are doing.
