I had an interview with my resource teacher, Mr. Kriegel on Thursday, February 4th. His full name is Mark Kriegel. He was raised as a farmer in his family, but something told him farming wasn’t going to be his life career. Being the 3rd oldest of 12 siblings can definitely make your personality different from the rest. (Kriegel). In high school, Kriegel was a football and a basketball player. He enjoyed his time on the field. It was Kriegel’s senior year when he decided he wanted to be a teacher. He exceeded in math, and were helping the other students who weren’t getting it. He loved the feeling of helping others learn. When Kriegel graduated in 1988, his excellent knowledge got him valedictorian. That is one of the reasons he felt he could make it as a teacher, …show more content…

There were times he took a break on school, as a confused, young adult. Kriegel wanted to be a teacher, but he wasn’t sure it was for him. He ended up pushing through the tough times, and graduated from Central college in 1994. (Kriegel). In 1995, he was finally the teacher he accomplished to be. Kriegel even went to Japan one year to teach young children. Since he became a teacher, Kriegel has made many accomplishments. He has 2 blood daughters, and adopted 2 boys from Haiti! Him and his wife are happily married with these wonderful children. Kriegel loves to get on his hands and knees to garden during summer break. It gives him relaxation from all the hard work he did teaching. Speaking of hard work, Kriegel’s favorite inspirational quote is “nothing replaces hard work” by anonymous writer. This speaks loud and clear to him. Through all of his accomplishments, this quote is a great description of all of them. Kriegel can inspire a lot of people with his past, and with all he has done with his life. He is one of my teachers, and he has helped me quite a lot, and has pushed so many people to do the very best they

  • Mentor Interview Paper

    Tuesday at 10:00a.m., I interviewed with Dr. Ann Griffith about becoming my research mentor and working in her lab. As a potential mentor, Dr. Griffith seems to be prefect in compatibility. She has a great personality and seems to really understand my concerns and schedule. I may bond better with her because she is a woman and she understands a lot of the struggles women endure every day, especially working mothers. She has several publications, one for instance: “Metabolic Damage and Premature Thymus Aging Causes by Stromal Catalase Deficiency”. This paper really gives good insight into understanding the lab’s interest and where I may possible fit into the balance. In the course of our meeting, I was better able to assess Dr. Griffith as my potential mentor based on these aspects and other informative topics from our discussion that would personally affect me the most.

    For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved

    I chose to do my teacher interview in my home town at Richard D. Crosby Elementary School. This K-3rd grade building is very new, it was built in 2010. It has 4 pods, one for each grade level and has a large discovery center in each pod. The school is very colorful, with each pod a different color so the children find it easy to go from area to area. I did my interview with Mrs. Doe, a special education teacher. Her room has a lot of materials for learning and is set up to have several work stations for group activities. Mrs. Doe shares her students with other special education teachers and also has a special education classroom aide. My research question is how does a teacher’s perspective on learning reflect theories and concepts in educational psychology? Mrs. Doe is faced with many challenges in her classroom, overcrowding, multi-cultural differences, learning disabilities, several students with low socioeconomic status and English language learners. There are many challenges for Mrs. Doe to deal with, but she has been teaching for 21 years and has a lot of experience. She started out as a regular classroom teacher, but switched to special education and has done so well that when she asked if she could return to the regular classroom setting, the Superintendent begged her to stay in the special education department because of her success.
