My Outlook On Education And Teaching

My outlook on education and teaching has been impacted by many outside influences. From where I grew up to the people who I look up to, there is a wide range of reason for why I chose this path. I intend to someday assist my students to learn, and never stop learning myself. Education is the key to success.

Over the course of my schooling, I have always gone to a public school. This pushes me to explore my options because I have never looked into teaching at a private school. I gained a excellent education and experience through public schooling, and as of right now intend on teaching in a public school. I am curious to explore what private schools have to offer for an elementary teacher.

Student diversity at my high school based on race was small. We were 94% white, 4% Hispanic, and 2% other races. Other than race, though, we had many different types of students. Similar to an appreciable amount of schools, we had a large group of students who were involved athletics, students in a club, and a small amount of students who weren 't involved in anything. These activities ranged from football to art club. It was simple to find something you enjoyed at my high school, and because of this, student involvement was high. In addition to this, the students involved in specific activities seemed to get along with other groups of people.

Throughout my life I have had teachers that have made an impact on me. Teachers who were my school teachers, and teachers I didn 't have growing up. Each individual teacher has taught me a lesson and impacted me in a certain way. There were a few teachers who influenced me and my future career.

For example, my high school English teacher was more than just a teacher to me, and my fellow classmates. If...

Laptops, are only a convenience in this case. Also, they were a major distraction and temptation to students who chose to not use them appropriately. On the plus side, they were excellent for group cooperation, effortless access to the internet, and communication. I believe they made a positive impact on those who used them responsibly. I intend to stay up to date with technology in my future classroom, but also understand when it 's best to use paper.

Overall, I have had a unique experience that has lead me to my decision of becoming an elementary teacher. People, places, ideas, and facts have shaped me into the person I have become. I am excited to continue learning, and to cause a difference in the world.
