By getting to know my students both academically and personally, I will be better prepared to meet their individual needs. Even though this will be time consuming on my part, it is definitely worth it. As a teacher, I have the ability to spark new interests and unearth new potentials, and I do not take this opportunity lightly. I will stay informed about current research and be willing to use creativity and flexibility to adapt to my students. An atmosphere of trust and acceptance is essential to helping children reach their full potential.
Students can learn from each other just as much as from a textbook.
I will strive to develop a classroom where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring the world around them by using positive feedback and not tolerating teasing or degradation of othes. While shaping students academically, I also hope to touch students personal lives by modeling a positive attitude and kindness toward others. Children come from such varied backgrounds, and unfortunately, some might not have had the experience of a supportive relationship. I will use praise and encouragement to motivate my students to do their personal best in all they do. It is my hope that my caring, accepting disposition will influence children's relations with others.
