Recommended: Teacher role in life and education

‘Teaching children is an accomplishment; getting children excited about learning is an achievement’. This quote is by Robert John Meehan. After reflecting on educational work experiences I now appreciate the impact teachers have on the lives of young people. I now see and truly value the sense of accomplishment that teachers gain from teaching children new skills, and after helping do so within my work experience this is one of the main reasons I am wanting to join the teaching workforce.
Over the recent years it has become more apparent to me that my real interests lies in education; guiding and shaping the lives of young people. One of the huge influences on this is the birth of my niece and nephew, as I have witnessed first-hand their development, watching them advance in their language and skills. As well as witnessing the impact the huge impact their teachers have on them throughout the years. After seeing this I have now understood that as a teacher every day is different and no child is the same and personally for me this makes it the most fulfilling job there can be as not only are you their teacher but their mentor through their early stages of life. …show more content…

As a senior captain of the volleyball and basketball teams, my leadership has improved tremendously as high school has progressed.

    I’ll be doing the same thing year after year, but the repetition will make me find the best flow that works for me. This will teach me to master my skills and become better each year with each child. Acknowledging Pink’s theory of mastery, when someone is doing what they love even on the days they don’t feel like doing it (123). In other words, when someone loves what they do and they still have no regrets. Waking up every morning wanting to do the best in their field even on the occasional Monday blues. It reminds me of the real reason why I choose my career for the satisfaction of helping others. When we do something that we enjoy every day I think we don’t even noticed we have mastered it because we are so busy enjoy every minute. I wanted to make sure whatever I choose for my career, I was ready to do it for the rest of my life. To love what I do and I truly believe being a teacher will give me that. Knowing I will master my job not because I will focus on mastering it, but because when I figure out I had mastered it I wouldn’t have even notice

    Becoming a teacher was not something I always knew I wanted. As I approached an age where I really started considering what I would like to do for a career I only knew that I did not want to work in an office behind a desk all day. I wanted a job that would be interactive, challenging and exciting. I also knew I wanted a job that would be important and would somehow contribute to the world in an important way. I thought being a teacher; particularly a teacher in the primary levels would fulfill those hopes and goals assuming I dedicate myself to becoming an effective teacher who has a positive influence on the lives of my students.

  • The Highlights of My Teaching Pedagogy

    Through my own experiences, and as enforced by others' opinions in the profession, I have found that teaching is one of the most rewarding careers. Not only are you placed in the position of instructing and guiding children and young adults through the life long learning process, but you are able to give back to the schools and communities which have supported your early education and experiences that opened you up to a bright future. In becoming an educator, I hope to someday share the knowledge and lend the helping, supportive hand that I was once given, allowing students to formulate their own perspectives of the multicultural society and world around them. Teaching is a career I have been interested in pursuing throughout high school, and as my experiences and study in the field expands, I feel that my desire to teach will grow stronger and develop more soundly.

  • Personal Learning Statement

    Personal Statement on Teaching and Learning I believe that teaching is not solely the communication of subject matter and securing a passing standard for each student; teaching is, however, the act of assuring exhaustive and absolute understanding and comprehension of topic content and knowledge. It is in giving students the resources, environment, confidence, and inquisitive skills, that their learning, development and self-perception flourishes. Learning is more than gaining knowledge, it allows the students to become enlightened, and enables the subsequent acquiring of the necessary skills to apply their new-found literacy in the improvement of their every-day lives (Killen, 2016). I believe that teachers are learners, just as much as their

  • Making a Difference as a Teacher

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first main reason that I have chosen teaching as a profession is because I believe that it’s continuous rewards will help me to lead a happy and fulfilled life. For example, teaching young children is one of the few jobs in which you can give and receive hugs on a daily basis. Children have an innocence and a passion for knowledge that I find amazing and I do not feel complete unless I am around them. Teaching will help provide this fulfillment for me every day. Also, teaching is a job in which it is ok, and even encouraged, to laugh each and every day. I feel that this is important for a person’s well-being and I think that it helps to keep people young and alive. I feel that in many other professions the day-to-day routine would become monotonous and boring, and I do not think that I would live a truly happy and fulfilled life unless I could be around children. I feel that a classroom provides many unique and dynamic opportunities every single day and I find that very appealing. Also, I am a very relationship-oriented person and I feel that I will enjoy building unique relationships with each child. I plan on knowing every child as thoroughly as possible because I feel that this will help me to be better at my job.

    ...sionate professors who helped shape the type of teacher I would like to be. They found ways to talk to me in a manner that motivated me to want to improve, all while honoring the work that I have already done. I would like to bring this same moral into my classroom, when a child is motivated, passionate,and self-aware of their needs, strengths, and weaknesses, they can and will push themselves to improve. Students do not solely care about how much knowledge an educator has, but they care about how much these educators truly care. We shouldn't judge a person on how educated they are based only on test scores. The most educated person may not be the most suitable person to teach children. I may lack the test scores, however, I do not lack the passion and motivation needed to be a great teacher. If we cannot celebrate small successes, the final outcome is less weighted.

    I am so excited about one day teaching our children. My goal is to be a positive influence on a child and I cannot imagine anything more important to do with my life than helping children. A quote from Herbert Kohl sums up my feelings of becoming an educator: “I believe the impulse to teach is fundamentally altruistic and represents a desire to share what you value and to empower others. I am not talking about the job of teaching so much as the calling to teach. Most teachers I know have felt that calling at some time in their lives.” My dream is to someday soon fulfill my calling.
