The Importance Of Teaching At School Plummer Middle School

Teaching is a very important field when considering what to do for the rest of one’s life. The world will always need teachers to teach our children what they need to know. What would be the better option, teaching high school or elementary school? This proposes an interesting question that can only be answered by the individual willing to teach. By comparing high school and elementary school, and delving into three different areas, such as: training, classroom environment, and student behavior, a wise career choice can be made.

A procedure is a step to be taken in the classroom - It is a doing - An action. It is the way things are done in the classroom. A procedure is NOT a rule. A rule ensures safety. A procedure ensures order and routine. A procedure gets FORM to your classroom. It trains your students on how to do the important things in your classroom. A procedure is a “how-to” for the way things work in your classroom. IMPORTANT DISTINCTION Procedures are never rewarded or

Looking back at the experience I had in observing, I still have the determination to inspire others through a career in teaching. Teaching is a very diverse job that requires many skills and a lot of patience. It is important for a teacher to be able to maintain a healthy and professional relationship with their pupils, develop lesson plans that keep the attention of a majority of the students, make the atmosphere of the classroom inviting, and be a welcoming person capable of standing up in front of the class to

For me, the decision to become a teacher is more of a way of life than a career. I have always loved school, practicing at being school marm from a young age, and voraciously devouring every shred of education offered me in my career as a student. If it were possible, I would be a student for the rest of my life. And then I still would not have learned enough. As a teacher, I hope to instill this appetite for knowledge in secondary students. They are, after all, the future leaders of the world, and what better place to expand the minds of the generations to come than here in Appalachia where education programs, especially the sciences, which I plan to teach, are poorly funded and children’s dreams

The field of education sparks my interest and it is the field I would love to be working in, in the near future. The role of a teacher is a very important one and is one that is not suited for everyone. A teacher needs to respect students, create a sense of community and belonging in the classroom, be warm, accessible, enthusiastic, and caring. These are all qualities I hope to be acquiring with my experiences working with young children. Being in the school of education and human services here at PCTI has been a wonderful learning experience throughout the years.

I have known from a young age I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up. Throughout high school, the passion I have

There are many things that go into a successful, well-managed classroom, but one of the biggest determining factors is establishing positive procedures for daily tasks and activities. Students crave a stable and predictable environment where they know exactly what to expect and how to succeed, and teaching procedures does just that. Procedures provide structure to both students and teachers, ensuring that the classroom is a familiar and secure place that everyone can rely on. Obviously choosing the right rules and procedures for a classroom is entirely up to the instructor; but no matter the procedure, teachers must clearly define what they expect from their students from the very beginning. It is essential

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

I first became interested in teaching in my sophomore year in high school. My inspiration came from three amazing teachers who showed passion for their subject matter as well as a love for teaching. My desire to become a teacher was amplified by the many leadership and teaching roles that I took on while I was in Boy Scouts. While teaching in Boy Scouts I learned that teaching was what mattered most to me. Under my leadership, I helped advance many scouts to the rank of Eagle Scout as well as winning multiple awards at every summer camp that we attended. This was my jumping point into enrolling in Old Dominion University’s education program.

So you want to be an elementary school teacher? It’s a challenging career, requiring patience and social skills, as you have to be able to wrangle a room filled with rambunctious children. Once you get through the tough stuff, the career is filled with immeasurable rewards. Being an elementary school teacher is not just going into a classroom and teaching kids how to add numbers, where something is on a map, or how to write. This career is far deeper than that, you will build a relationship with each and every student and ultimately build the foundation of the students’ future education. Elementary school teachers guide their students through a crucial period in their lives. This career is a good choice for people who want to make a

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

Becoming a middle school teacher changed how I felt about what kind of teacher I want to be. When I graduated from college in 2009, I was sure that I wanted to be a 4th or 5th grade teacher. I had student taught in 5th grade, and I really enjoyed it. I immediately began applying for elementary teaching positions. Thankfully, a position opened up in the district I lived in, student taught in, and where my children attended school. I was so excited because a position was open in 5th grade! I could work with the teacher I student taught with, in the grade I student taught in.

Ever since I was sixteen years old, something about spending time with children drew me to dreaming about a career in the teaching profession in future. Primary teaching, in particular, became a significant interest after spending time working with a local Brownie Pack, which I have always done since I was fifteen years old. In this period, I also trained to become and subsequently developed into a leader. This effectively led me to the realization that I enjoyed working with children as well as teenagers. My time and experience in school only confirmed that teaching is the most viable career choice for me. My subsequent undergraduate in Biology at ETSU only served to further increase my enthusiasm for the teaching profession in addition to preparing me effectively for the immense responsibility of handling a

The big question teachers ask me throughout my life is “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I never had an answer to that. Going into college I didn’t have a set plan as to what career I would like to pursue. However, I knew that I wanted to work with kids; I originally wanted to be a pediatrician. That career choice was based on my family wanting me to be successful, so I put my passion for working with kids and their passion together. As I began to focus on what I want instead of what others want, I changed my major to Early Childhood Education and chose the path of teaching as my career choice. I have high hopes for this career because teachers are always needed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), the employment rate for my career choice will increase by six percent from 2014 to 2024. In this world, education is valued and will help put people many steps ahead. The reason why I chose to be an elementary teacher is because I want to be able to motivate and inspire my younger generations.

The first aspect we will look at is the factors that lead to a career choice. One person might choose a job based on salary which is an extrinsic motivator. Others may look for something they already enjoyed doing, an intrinsic motivator. Studies have shown that intrinsic motivators are more resilient than extrinsic, which can lead to a more successful career. There are however many more factors that may not be originally considered. When looking at those who like to be teachers, most showed an intrinsic interest. We also know that “Studies confirmed that 18% to 40% of students who study teaching have on relative who is a teacher” (Tomsik, 2016, p. 309). The same study reports that prior experience related to teaching was also a driving factor when choosing it as a career. Knowing this we can determine that external motivation factors, not just personal, play a large part in the
