Description for Standard #9


Name of Artifact: Personal Statement Project

Date: October 10th, 2014


Course: EDUC 101

Brief Description: In this assignment, I am going to


answer questions with a PowerPoint Presentation
regarding my reasons for wanting, what it takes, and how
my surroundings influenced and prepared me to be a
teacher.

Rationale for Standard #9


Rationale: Understanding and planning to become a
teacher is an efficient way to get my student attention.
Having the knowledge of the profession will help me as a
teacher and the children as students.

Reasons for Wanting to be a


Teacher
I enjoy helping children/students succeed.

I love to learn.
I believe I can make a difference in my students lives.
I enjoy a daily variety of tasks and objectives to achieve.
I feel that I can learn as
much from my students
as they can from me.
Stable future for my family.

The Traits it Takes to be a Teacher


Being respectful of my students. In my class each students
values and opinions will be valued and respected.
Nice, accepting, respectful, caring and trustworthy.
My students will know that I am a resource for help with
any situation they are in.
Confident in knowing that I will not judge them and that I
will take time to listen to their
concerns.
Even just giving an ear to
hear a funny story!

What Teacher Will I Be?


I want to be a fun teacher that every student looks forward to
seeing everyday. I find that I can relate to many students
through my sense of humor.
Respected by the students. I want the students to know that I
am their ally in their educational goals. I want only success for
my students.
I want to be the determined teacher. Students that dont
believe they can do the curriculum, I want to prove them wrong.
I want to be a resourceful teacher
that will go to any means to allow
my students to be as successful
as they can be.

What I Want My Students to be


Like!
I want the students that have trouble with the subject that
I am teaching (most likely math) find some sense with how
I present the material and be able to take away a sense of
understanding.
Drug-free students because drug use impairs your thinking
and would make it very difficult to teach them.

Community Characteristics
I would like to work in a community that supports
education and sees it as a future for the community. How
we take care of our students now only predicts the future
of our community.
Community that supports extracurricular activities as well
as the curriculum that the state requires.
A place where my students feel safe in and out of school.
A community that supports and encourages college bound
goals and objectives.

Contributions to the Profession


I can make many contributions to the Profession by having
a strong commitment to my students success. I will do
whatever it takes to make an environment that allows as
much learning as possible.
Not only will I have passion for what I am teaching but,
more importantly I will love who I am teaching.
I will be consistent with my decision making. Many
decisions a teacher makes during the day are quick but, I
will strive to make them intentional and consistent. This
will help earn the respect from my students and develop a
healthy learning environment.
