Hello ladies and gentlemen,
My name is April Avery and I am currently a junior at
Prairie View A&M University. I am majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies
with a concentration in Generalist Early Childhood (EC) – 6th grade.
This blog is to share my ideas and thoughts related to education and what I
believe makes an efficient teacher.
As a future educator, I have already started making goals to
achieve once I get into the classroom. My main goal is that my students will be
able to achieve 100% mastery level over everything we cover, and relate our
objectives to their real life. In order for me to be truly successful I believe
that my students need to be successful in all of their endeavors.
Since I plan to teach at the elementary level, I know that I
must be a prime example for my students. The picture above is a perfect example
of how I can begin to lead by example. By applying this quote to real-life, my
students can observe that I have the ultimate faith in their ability to achieve
anything they put all of their heart into, and I as their teacher will do
whatever it takes to make each one of them achieve or exceed their own goals.
Teaching is not just something to do, for me it is about
making a difference in the pupils I will come in contact with. Knowing that many teachers often lose interest
in the field or become repetitive in their lessons, a goal of mine is to keep
the desire and compassion that I feel now throughout my career as an educator.
As I progress through my career, I hope to obtain more knowledge on how to
better myself as an educator, more creative ideas to integrate into my lessons,
and a stronger compassion towards teaching.
Below you will find a link to a video that reinforces another reason why I want to become a teacher.
Until next time darlings,
April N. Avery
The turnover rate in the first three years of teaching is pretty high--people burn out or move on rather than stay in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, but I pray and hope that doesn't happen to me.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of resources to combat the feelings of wanting to give up. Websites and books of course, however; being active in professionl organizations is something I know I'll do to help keep me current and motivated about what I plan to do for the next big chunk of my life.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting blog post! Go for your goals and achieve them!
