My teacher interview was with Jessica Mays/Richie. Jessica is fresh out of the program from Chico State University. For a first year teacher she is doing really well, and I’m surprised at how well her kindergarten class is. Just being in her class as a volunteer I have learned so much about what its like to be a teacher. Instead of looking into experience, because she doesn’t have much yet, she told me things that she learned from being a new teacher. I believe that this will help me through the program and becoming a future teacher. A huge part that she let me know during the interview was that she didn’t think that this grade level was ideal for her. Without even doing the interview I found that she was wonderful with kids and they really
Have you ever witnessed your own teacher shave someone’s hair? Or even assign over 40 assignments when she is absent for “club”, also known as cult activities? If you haven’t, man, have I got some bad news for you. Strap in kiddos, because I’m going to share my experiences with Longleaf’s infamous English teacher capable of striking fear into anyone’s eyes, Ms. Taylor.

I was placed at Buies Creek Elementary with Mrs. Emily Pivec, a fifth-grade math teacher. Going into the interview I was curious to see who she was and what she was like. I do not plan on teaching elementary, but I wanted to experience what it was like to be in an elementary classroom. I was interested to see her reasons for teaching and why she picked elementary.
We were both trying to make sense of the messiness that exists in education inequity, and the process did not have to be pretty, but it had to happen. Each day I left her class fired up and inspired to do better and be better for our
Teachers have a positive influence on many students lives. One teacher has made a huge impact on my life. Mrs. X has always helped me and made a huge impact on my life. She always listened to what I had to say and she helped me learn.
My interview with my teacher was one of the most interesting and informative moments I have had so far. Throughout the interview I learned a lot about what to expect as a teacher, how education has changed (and how it can and will change within the future of education), and advice on what I can do as a future educator. I feel as though the interview opened my eyes more to the reality of being a teacher, and how being a teacher is not all is seems.
Now as I get to the interview question I ask Ms. Kim “What makes a good teacher” and she stated, “A good teacher helps a child to learn, develop, and grow in every aspect of their lives. They have to be dedicated to their job and make sure they are given the child their undivided attention when needed”. Then she continued on to say, “Good teachers will redirect the child from a negative situation to a positive situation, give out extra hugs when the child need one, focus on the child’s academic achievements, and encourage the child to be successful”. I thought these were some amazing answers but we continued on with the interview. The next question asked Ms. Green was “What curriculum is used for each of the content areas you teach”? Ms. Green stated, “At Lee’s Cuddles ‘N’ Care we use the curriculum of teacher strategy gold which it is called creative curriculum. This assess the child’s growth and development in literacy, mathematics, social-emotional, and much more. The children in the preschool for all program uses this curriculum and it covers all the content areas needed for the child. Then I went on to ...

I got the honor of being able to interview a great teacher. Her name is Ms. Edith Jeffrey. She is an amazing teacher at a charter school, Vanguard Preparatory School. In addition to being able to interview her, I got the chance to observe her in her setting of her everyday dream of being a teacher.
After watching the interview and being able to have a good understanding of what she was talking about felt great. It’s always nice to see knowledge applied outside the classroom. A rush of pride is given to yourself, as an emotional
I learned so much from the interview with Mr. Mitchell. I did not know that Special Education teachers put so much effort into helping the transition go smoother. I had no idea about the tours of the new school or meeting the new teachers prior but it makes sense. What also stood out to me was how communication is essential; the more the teacher communicates with the student and parents the better the transition will go.
I believe that after interviewing this educator, I have a better understanding of the changes that occurred in my future field. Though I am aware of the history of special education and education in general, I think that it is something different completely to be told about the changes in education from someone who
My cooperating teacher has been employed in the field of education for 19 plus years. She has been in her current position as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at the Lighthouse Learning Center for 12 years.

She shared with me this week her teaching philosophy that has evolved from her many years in the classroom. The components of her philosophy include a focus on people, strategies, and tools.
