My whole life I have always wanted to be a teacher so I can change children’s lives to something better. My goal as a future teacher is to be like Ms. Rain from the book Precious. I want to educate children to be a well rounded individual. I want to push them to their goals and teach them that if they put their mind into something they can always achieve it. My main goal is to teach my future students the importance of education. Especially college education because although many people do see the need of getting a college degree, it is important if you would like a well paying job. Without a college degree you could be making only minimum wage or only a little bit over the minimum wage. Someone who works many hours and still makes little to no money to

    I have been a classroom teacher with the same school division (and its legacy divisions) for twenty two years. I have therefore, been an active participant and witness to the multitude of changes and growth that have enveloped the realm of education and my school division. My role in the classroom has mainly included English and Arts instruction at the grade 11 and 12 levels. I have considered it an honor to be one of the last teachers involved in a student’s K-12 education and have deeply recognized this important leadership role, guiding our students by way of instruction and by example, through their final educational stretch and empowering them to be leaders themselves. I feel that I have helped to create a society of learners where students are being constantly challenged, where they experienced meaningful personal and educational growth and were empowered to celebrate their accomplishments whether they were big or small.

  • Persuasive Essay: Why I Want To Teach

    2230 Words  | 5 Pages

    I believe teachers should serve as role models and be the center of a classroom. In order to maintain that students stay on task and are all on the same page, the teacher needs to serve as a guide and direct the students. I do not believe that students learn best in a textbook based setting, but that textbooks are important when referencing material. I believe all students learn differently and look for new ideas or ways to teach lessons and concepts, so that my students can learn as effectively as possible. I also believe that a teacher teaches much more than the subject. It is very important for students in my classroom to something other than the subject that I teach. I want them to learn life skills that will help them in more areas and aspects of their life other than education. I believe my students should strive for hard work, dedication, and integrity, and go beyond learning just the content of a
