Teaching has been a career I have been pursuing since I was a freshman in
high school. Since then I have had the desire to want to make a difference in the
lives of children. This comes in the form of being a good role model for younger
kids. When I look back at the people who have influenced me most in my life I often
think about the teachers I had who impacted me. As a teacher I want my students
to come out of my classroom not only as a better student but also a better all-
around person. I believe the purpose of schools is to give students a purpose for life
and the skills they need to fulfill that purpose. This goes with behavior and content
areas. In order to give the students the behavior skils I have implemented high
expectations for behavior through a PBIS system. In this system the kids are
expected to stay in their seat, keep hands off other kids and respect the privacy of
others. This seems to have worked but can always be improved and I look forward
try to help students is by showing videos that gives them a sense of purpose. The
main topics I have focused on is the good in failure, finding a purpose in life, and
how one person can make such an impact in many peoples lives.
One of my favorite ways to teach is to do the I do, We do, You do. In this
method you start out as a whole group and I will show a couple ways to perform the
problem. Then I have students talk me through the problems and lastly I have them
work on some of the problems at their seat. Their seat work often looks very
different from day to day. One day I might have them pair up and work together and
the next I might have them work on their own. I really like pairing the students up
because it gives them teamwork skills and gives the students another way to learn
the material.
In order to assess the students I often do exit tickets where I can look at what
skills they have accomplished, who has accomplished them and then dig deeper on
who may need to be challenged more or who needs more support. I also use
book creator. For the book creator I created a book for the student and as the
student read I recorded their reading. This helped the student with fluency by
hearing what she read and seeing her miscues in reading. Also in the book the
student was able to write an answer to a question that I posed for them. This helped
me assess her understanding of the text and the main points she found in the book.
These are two of the many ways I have assessed students and I look forward to
