Recommended: teacher's role in the classroom

Since my childhood I was dreaming to be a teacher as my first teacher who taught me how to climb up the stairs of education step by step until I reached where I am today. Thank you deeply from my heart my dear teachers, you were my light to cross my way and here I am a teacher who have graduated from my Bachelor degree and doing my Masters degree in order to get more knowledge and education to grow it back in our new coming up generations.

After I have graduated from my Bachelor degree, I started to teach in a secondary school where I was students one day. During my teaching period, I earned a lot of experiences and teaching values that have been motivating me to further on my study and do not stop at certain level of education.

Hereby, I am writing down in those papers about my sweet and unforgettable memories which I got during my teaching period with my awesome students and my colleagues ,,

As I started my job as an English teacher in a secondary school of girls that means big responsibilities would be on between of the teacher’s eyes to take it serious and put an effort on it. On that time, the English supervisor had to make a visit to my school twice a month at least to attend classes of new teachers in the school. I was one of the new teachers during that time, so he had to supervise me during his visits to the school.

Once, it happened that on Monday the supervisor came to the school and on that day I had only two classes as my timetable showed. Either the forth class or the fifth class when the supervisor could attend for me. But it happened that he just came during the early morning classes then asked me to change with my colleagues to get the second class when my class had a...

...at I have read on the Indian culture, they call the teacher as “ Guru”, this word in the Indian culture has a great meaning.Gu means darkness and Ru means light; which when put the syllables together it means “a person who takes you out of the darkness in order to see the light”. What an amazing word that has been used to call the teacher !!

Teachers should be proud of being on this was as I do. By the end of my article I really want to quote a poem that had written by Robert John Meehan on the teacher :

Personal attention

a gifted child leads

Personal attention

an average child needs

Personal attention

at risk child pleads

Personal attention

a dyslexic child reads

Personal attention

an autistic child deeds

Personal attention

a parent plants the seeds

Personal attention

is what every child needs

Thus, Personal attention

is what every teacher heeds

  • My Personal Philosophy of Education

    640 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a child, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said that I wanted to do something to help other people. I realized that even though teachers do not get a lot of respect, or money, they have the greatest job anyone could ever hope for. They help children become adults. All children are inspired by someone to be what they will become in the future. Teachers inspire those of all professions; police officers, firefighters, secretaries, carpenters, bankers, trash collectors, actors, truck drivers, fast food workers, scientists, inventors, doctors, lawyers, even the president. Imagine how it would feel to know that you are the reason someone developed something to benefit mankind, saved a life, or became the first female president of the United States of America. Hopefully, as a teacher I can inspire a child to fulfill all of their dreams.

  • Supervisor Reflection

    783 Words  | 2 Pages

    Just from what I seen from this experience it seems like teachers would make my supervisors job unnecessarily difficult. There were never any major issues, but it would be just little things that could be completely avoidable if the teachers would just follow instructions provide by my supervisor. A common incident would be when gathering I-STEPS they would never be in alphabetical order when it could take the teacher not more than a few minutes to do that for us. If all the teachers did this then what would have taken them a few minutes takes us a minimum of at least thirty minutes to an hour due to the number of students out of order. The students love working with me and my supervisor and always stop by to say hello and usually small talk about each other’s day. I have to clarify though that not all the staff/facility were ungrateful. There were just a few incidents I noticed during this experience that showed me that guidance counselors should be a little more appreciated because they work as hard, if not harder than anyone in the building.

  • The Highlights of My Teaching Pedagogy

    1902 Words  | 4 Pages

    Through my own experiences, and as enforced by others' opinions in the profession, I have found that teaching is one of the most rewarding careers. Not only are you placed in the position of instructing and guiding children and young adults through the life long learning process, but you are able to give back to the schools and communities which have supported your early education and experiences that opened you up to a bright future. In becoming an educator, I hope to someday share the knowledge and lend the helping, supportive hand that I was once given, allowing students to formulate their own perspectives of the multicultural society and world around them. Teaching is a career I have been interested in pursuing throughout high school, and as my experiences and study in the field expands, I feel that my desire to teach will grow stronger and develop more soundly.

  • My Teaching Philosophy Statement

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    As an education major at State College, I’ve decided to become a teacher for several reasons. As I progressed through elementary, middle, and high school, many of my teachers were great role models for me. This has inspired me to become a role model for someone in the near future. My love for science and math has also influenced my desire to teach and make a difference in a child’s life. I want to teach students the subjects that I love so much. I want the feeling that I helped a child accomplish or learn something they couldn’t understand. One of the main reasons I want to become an educator is because I feel education has really lost teachers who truly love teaching and those who truly love teaching and those who have the desire to make a difference. I feel I can really help make a difference in the education world and bring back the love to teach.
