To all the boring and under qualified teachers who made me think: “I can do better”, you inspired me to be a teacher.

Sometimes I’m funny.

Then

I’m just a big kid at heart.

”If you don’t love every student that comes through your door, you won’t be able to teach them.”

–Mrs. Smith’s Philosophy of EducationGreatest satisfaction as a teacher: “Student success. The kids who excel in art and use art as an outlet, it’s wonderful to be able to provide that for them.”

-Ms. Shuler, Elementary Art Teacher

-Communicating with parents or guardians about student learning

Teachers call their students’ parents to express concern or to give positive feedback.

Newsletters are an effective way to communicate with parents.

-Making the physical environment as safe and conducive to learning as possible.

Teaching is more work than I thought. It takes a lot of

preparation and skill to get in front of a classroom and teach.

Teaching is being confident and taking charge of the classroom.

Keeping all of the students’ attention is difficult.

When I become a teacher I hope to bring fun and new ideas into

the classroom. I want to be every student’s favorite

teacher.
