I have always had a passion for education from the youngest I can
remember I dreamed of being the person in front of the classroom encouraging
the other students around me to succeed. Now as a college aged student, I have
made active strides towards helping children in need, both of individualized
education and receiving much needed compassion. Both things I believe
traditional public schools are lacking these days. A teacher especially when
dealing with younger age groups, needs to have patience, compassion, and
understanding while still maintaining a classroom with order and respect. Your
school district relies on making every student feel special and important. The key
to this is making sure every student feels that his or her needs and wants have
been met even when in a large group setting. This comes from bringing one on
one attention into the classroom. When every student feels they have the
teacher’s undivided attention more often than not, misbehaviors in the classroom
decrease. I have worked in both a Montessori preschool environment and taught
multiple all ages dance classes and I truly believe I have the ability to bring
another classroom with the ideals you value like these into your district.
Your school also strives to engage students in the larger community.
Students need to feel they are making an impact on the world around them in
order to remain passionate about learning. My background in both preschool
teaching and teaching dance classes gives me a lot of experience when it comes
to incorporating community service into my classrooms. For example, in my
dance classrooms we have held performances at local events many times and I
would encourage the team to work together to both promote the performances
and bring their art and sport to the community at large. To help them feel
productive and proud of the work they have accomplished. In my preschool
classrooms, especially during the summer months, we would take field trips to
local community outreaches. Experiences like exploring and cleaning up the
beaches around us and getting to travel to local farms to learn about composting
and the importance of growing and cultivating food for the community.
