I want to teach in a democratic
way. I do not want the kids to sit and listen all day with their mouths shut. I
want to hear their voices, and hear what they have to say. I want their
opinions, and I want to know when they understand and do not understand. I plan
to be a leader in my classroom and school. I want to be involved in other
organizations outside of the classroom and become a visible figure to my
students. I want to be someone they can respect and seek to be more like. I
want them to be able to talk to me and tell me what they need. An effective
leader, which I will be, can accomplish that.
I want my classroom to be a
safe and orderly environment for learning. I want my classroom to be a place
where my students honestly want to be. It will be invigorating, inviting,
educational and most of all fun! Every child is a unique individual who needs a
secure, caring and stimulating environment in which they can grow
intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an
educator to help my students reach their fullest potential in each of these
areas. I plan to do this by being a role model for my students. Children learn
by what they see, therefore, I plan to be the best overall person I can be
inside and outside of my classroom. I want to instill good morals and values to
my students. I want the children’s natural curiosity to help direct their
learning. I will teach them to respect all things and all people. I will set
fair and consistent rules initially and I will clearly state the importance of
all activities. I will follow through with the rules that are set to show my
place as the teacher. This will show the students respect for their presence
and their time. Furthermore, it will teach them to respect themselves, others
and their environment. I hope to have technology in my classroom to further
educate my students for their future. In today’s society if you are not
educated about computers or other technological advances, you will be lost. I
feel to meet the needs of tomorrow we must educate and inform the children of
today.
