Growing up in school I can remember to this day, teachers who impacted my life
tremendously! I will never forget my second-grade teacher, she was a positive role model for all
her students. She loved all of her students equally, cared for us, and created engaging lessons.
She inspired me in many ways to become a teacher just like her. She inspired me to reach my
goals even if it was simple or major. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the second grade, my
teacher never let that obstacle define me as a person. She made me believe I am able to do
anything I set my mind to. From her pouring her dedication into her student, it has impacted my
life into becoming a teacher.
The roles and responsibilities of being a teacher involves great responsibility and
compassion towards their students. I want to impact students’ lives to believe they are more than
just a test score or reading level. Teachers are not only teaching academics to their students, but
also most importantly shaping the next generation to become quality learners in society.
Teachers are mentoring, encouraging, and supporting students to reach their full potential in
accomplishing goals inside and outside of the learning setting. As a teacher, it is important we
are advocating for students who feel they do not have a voice.
While in school I struggled primarily in math and reading content areas which resulted in
not being the strongest academic student. I can recall certain teachers who taught me that helped
me to become a successful learner. When a child is learning in a positive environment they are
able to be successful. Because my teachers made impacts in my life, and I want to do the same
for my students.
I am currently employed at a primary school, working with students who are in
kindergarten through third grade. By interacting with all grade levels throughout the school day I
have witnessed every child has a story that needs to be heard and understood. At times, children
need guidance and skills in handling their social emotional awareness. When being a teacher it is
important to understand students by providing effective skills for their social emotional
awareness. Teachers need to provide a safe environment for students to feel understood and
supported to accommodate students’ learning.
Educational principles that will help guide me into being a teacher are to encourage
active learning, allow learners to feel comfortable when stating feedback during lectures, and to
establish expectations for students to fulfill. Students need to be encouraged to become active
learners, to be effective learners and listeners in all content areas. When children are active
learners, they have the ability to also be active listeners outside of the learning environment. At
times, during instruction students can feel frustrated and uncomfortable with certain tasks or
subjects. As teachers, it is our responsibility to ensure students feel comfortable to ask questions
for clarification. Teachers need to implement their expectations for students in the classroom.
When expectations are enforced, students take responsibility for their actions. Establishing
education principles allows the teacher to model an example for students.
My goal as an educator is for my students to understand how unique and gifted they are
in their own way. By impacting students’ lives, they will become aware of the goals they are
able to accomplish. I want my students to be avid learners and listeners, allowing them to
become successful outside of the classroom. I hope my future students find a love for learning
even through the difficult moments. It is my responsibility to contribute to the next generation,
by being the best educator I can be. I want to inspire all students to believe in themself no matter
their background because we are all equal.
