Who I am....
I am a Sophmore at the Univeristy of South Alabama and I am majoring in elementary education and plan on get my masters. I have always enjoyed being around children and watching them grow, which led me to my decision to choose this major. I am a hard worker and hopefully will one day have my dream job of being a elementary school principal.
I attend school on Tuesday and Thursdays because I live over an hour away in Jackson, Alabama. I choose not to live in Mobile while attend The University due to the fact that I love my job. I work at Jackson Wood Fiber on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week as full time Secretary.
I am also an outdoors lover. I spend my winter days hunting with my father and brother for white tail deer. My summer days are spent at St. Stephens Park riding horses with my family and swimming afterwards.
Why I Want to be a Teacher...
For so many people the thought of being a teacher and “having to put up” with children all day would be pure torture, but for me, I cannot wait. I want to make a difference in each child’s life that I encounter. I want to bring the joy and excitement with everything they learn from me. I do not want their experience of elementary learning to be one of a drawn out day in which they cannot wait to go home, but one of enthusiastic learning. I want each child to understand that learning and being intellectual is the one thing they can use when all else fails. Bringing joy and a good experience into the life of children can only make their life a more enjoyable one where they will want to learn more (hopefully).
How I Will Assess My Effectiveness
Each child is an individual and will be treated like one. The ways that each child grows and mentally develops will be taken into consideration. I will use all my testing as a measure of the effectiveness of my teaching and a way to improve so that I can be a better teacher. I will not use test and quizzes as a way to see if the children know exactly what I have taught; but to help me better understand to see what they are grasping and what they understand so that I can teach them more effectively. I want to be able to have each child’s way of learning incorporated into my teaching so that no one is left behind.
