Recommended: Role of teacher

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I personally remember the times when I used to insist on playing school with my younger sister, and I used to love to pretend to be a teacher and make activities for her to do. I even had my own grade book and my own easel where I was able to express my creativity. My dream ever since I was a little girl was to become a teacher, and I think it is amazing that what used to be a pastime and a fun activity for me suddenly became something that I want to pursue in the future. I have always admired and appreciated teachers, and I still do. Teachers have always had a positive impact on my life, and I really would like to give back and become a teacher myself so that I could have the ability to inspire students just like my teachers have inspired me in one way or another. The following quotes made me smile and touched my heart, and they make me excited for the future.

  • My Philosophy of Education

    686 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

  • Teacher Observation Essay

    1824 Words  | 4 Pages

    In order to see what it’s like to teach in a school setting, the proficient way of doing that is to go observe a teacher with students in a classroom. In my case, I‘ve spent twenty-five hours throughout this semester observing three math teachers at Bayside High School located in Queens, New York. To be considerate of each teacher’s identity, I’ll be referring to their names as Teacher A who teaches geometry, Teacher B who teaches algebra, and Teacher C who teaches pre-calculus. I’ve taken extensive notes on the diversity of students, the issues of poverty, the methods of how teachers present information along with managing classrooms, and their expectations of their pupils.

  • Teachers Conformity Essay

    411 Words  | 1 Pages

    Another agreed-upon explored form of teachers’ conformity is Identification Approach, through which teachers do not behave in a particular way because such behavior is intrinsically satisfying. Rather, teachers adopt a particular behavior because it puts them in a satisfying relationship to the colleagues or authorities with whom they are identifying. They do come to believe in the opinions and values they adopt, though not very strongly. They want to be like some particular colleagues or authorities in the institute. Continuous reward or punishment is not necessary in identification approach.

  • Making a Difference as a Teacher

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have not always wanted to be a teacher. I always knew that I wanted to work with children in some way, but I was pretty sure that teaching was not for me. I was well on my way in my junior year of college working toward a biology degree so that I could become a pediatric physician’s assistant. I still cannot explain what happened, but one week I was a biology major, and the next I knew that I have always been meant to teach children. I suppose I just took the longer route to get there than most people do. The two main reasons that I have chosen to become a teacher is that I believe that teaching is extremely personally rewarding in many ways and the fact that I can actively make a difference in someone’s life.

    The teacher that I observed was Mrs. Cynthia Carney. She is the kindergarten teacher at Greystone Elementary school. As my first time in the classroom, I tried to observe as much as possible. I had a great first impression of the classroom, it is a very positive environment, and the teacher has definitely established a clear routine and rules that the students follow. The teacher did a very brief (5-10 minute) science lesson/introduction to the unit on weather. Although the teacher did not inform my partner and I about the exact objectives for the lesson, it was clear that she wanted the students to learn about making observations about weather. Her objective

  • Passionate Teacher Essay

    I’m guessing my title has you judging me for making a parody of the movie, The Passion of the Christ, which is totally acceptable. During my teacher interview, Mrs. Sell kept hammering the idea of being a passionate and enthusiastic teacher. She uttered passionate and enthusiastic numerous times throughout the interview and that was the one of the biggest takeaways. Yes, I interviewed my mother and it was really interesting to hear and understand the jargon my mom was using. I never really had a heart to heart conversation about her views on the educational system and it made me realize that I am really fortunate to have a mother that knows of ins-and-outs of education. I can turn to her whenever I’m in the need
