Strengths And Weaknesses

1880 Words4 Pages

As a teacher, I believe my strength and weaknesses are quite ambivalent to distinguish from one another. I think my strengths are patience, persistence, and genuineness in caring for the students. However, sometimes I struggle with time management and discipline procedures because I try to be too patient or overly persistent without knowing the student’s limits. One thing I learned from my current job as an IEP teacher in public school is that sometimes I need to honor the students’ limitations and humble my ego of direct teaching. I’ve learned that sometimes students need to experience failing hours to grow stronger. Receiving A grade can be an objective of the teacher, yet allowing students to learn at their pace is truly what faithful teachers do. Another weakness I am searching to improve on is my own emotional management. Seeing students challenge the authority or even self-inflicting in giving up on themselves …show more content…

There will an intentional emphasis on the school’s curricula: dogmatic worldview perspectives, scholastic approaches to the intercultural methodologies, applicable academia extending beyond the International Baccalaureate program, and student collaborations through experiential intercultural communications. A few of my core values are integrity and diligent pursuit of excellence. This is God’s way of opening my eyes and seeing how souls are prepared for harvest. It must begin with the strong and Godly teaching, but it also should also expand to student and family counseling guidance to seek God’s plan. But first, gaining official credential will initiate the prolific discipleship of the Lord’s generation in both public and private education. I completed M.A. Christian Education program from Talbot School of Theology and my objective is to earn the Teaching Credential Single Subject – English by the end of year

As an Assistant Teacher in a public school, I was assigned to a fifth grade student who was having problems with reading and writing. John came to me late in the school year and his reading abilities were that of a first grader. I became disheartened because I thought it was unfair to me given his situation and the time factor. Instead of immediately think of ways to move him forward, self got in the way and I became overly concerned about what my peers would say about my abilities if John did not advanced. Because I was seeking self praise, I lost sight of the main objective and as a result the child suffered. I was backed into a corner and had no answers or solutions to the problem. It was not until late March, two months later, that I realized that I needed to shift gears. I...

Critique on Kingdom Education

Schultz also stressed the importance of a biblical worldview in the teacher. As the leader in each classroom the students will adapt their teacher’s beliefs, values and finally actions. If they are taught by a teacher who holds a dualistic view of dividing the sacred and the secular, or a postmodern or modern worldview, it will adversely affect the ability of that child to develop Christ centered wisdom based upon the Word of God. Schultz, in referring to the education of children, stated “anything that hinders their moral and spiritual development is the epitome of child abuse.” (2006, p. 163). As such, our curriculum, teaching methods, and moral example, must all reflect a biblical worldview that will evangelize and discipline each student to know and love Jesus Christ.

Scot Danforth's Becoming A Great Inclusive Teacher Reflection Paper
915 Words | 2 Pages
Since I have only helped out in a few classrooms and never much one on one time with students, this is a new experience for me. Therefore I feel that it requires a transition or a transformation as Danforth calls it. In his book Danforth wrote, “When asked to explain how their attitudes, thoughts, and feelings changed, the teachers described going through a personal experience of emotional discomfort and cognitive dissonance, what one teacher described vaguely but powerfully as a ‘nagging feeling I’m not doing enough’ ” (p. 11). This relates to my time in the classroom not because I was uncomfortable, but more the part about not doing enough. For example, with Joel he struggles to read his alphabet and I worry that I am not doing enough to help him. Now I know that practice helps to remember things, but I constantly worry that I am not doing everything in my power to help him. While I believe all of this I know that this is something that all teachers feel constantly. When a student is struggling you, as the teacher, want to do everything in your power to help them, but feel you are not when they continue to struggle. Furthermore, connecting back to Danforth, I need to go through the transformation of not what I cannot do for a student to instead what I can do for them. I feel that while

Strengths

My five greatest strengths according to the StrengthsFinder survey are activator, restorative, achiever, command and relator, in rank order. Upon reading about these strengths, I can see how I have used and will continue to use them. I was aware of these strengths, for the most part, but while researching I was able to learn a few things. One article that stood out to me was “Don't let your strengths become your weaknesses” (Kaiser, & Kaplan, 2013). In this article, the possibility of strengths becoming weaknesses when overused was discussed. The authors explained how overdoing can be just as purposeless as under doing. The ability to read and respond adeptly is crucial in handling challenges, they explained. As with everything else in life, balance is key!

I would describe some of strengths as being able to define clear objectives when working in group settings whether it is in the working world or in academic settings and communicating clearly to the rest of the people in my group when I am in the lead or not. I communicate clearly to other people what I want to achieve out of working in a group, but also what I want them to achieve themselves. As a leader it is imperative that I allow other people in the group to learn and grow along with the rest of the group. I enjoy defining clear objectives when I am a leader and not a leader because it provides the rest of my peers an efficient way of working together. If the objectives are not clear and concise then the productivity of the group will

It is important through Christian education to be aware of the impact that occurs in the heart of a child as well. Christian education must go further than giving the child knowledge and facts. It must include a vision for the impact their educational experience has on the heart of a child by seeking to educate their emotions and the influence of their actions in their lives. The worldview of a child is influenced greatly in their school experience. It is the responsibility of the educator to provide a learning environment that will make this impact appropriate and pleasing to

Educational Philosophy Statement
1333 Words | 3 Pages
To begin, we need to understand the nature of students. The nature of students varies between individuals. The majority of students are well-behaved and come to school ready to learn. Part of this is due to the way they have been raised, but most students are basically good. There is a small percent of students whose nature, it seems, is to make everyone miserable. I do not know if this is because of a difficult childhood at home or because the student just likes to be the center of attention. Either way, there are always students that will give their teachers a hard time. I guess this is their nature. Every individual is different, therefore, the nature of the students I will teach some day will be different depending on their background and other various things that may happen to them as they grow up. For example, a student that has lost a sibling due to an illness or accident, may become very bitter throughout life. The nature of this student’s behavior which is being shaped by this may make this student a cold-hearted and mean student. These are the students that teachers need to spend extra time with and try to make them feel loved, no matter how hard this may be. I, as a future teacher, need to look at students and try to help them out no matter how difficult that may be.

My Goal As A Teacher Essay
1097 Words | 3 Pages
To become an affective teacher, I would began managing my class from the beginning of the school year by providing rules to the class that they must follow. When I give rules, students tend follow them every day, and count them as a usual duties they must do every day in my classroom. Rules build buildings build a city, a community, a country, therefore rules can build my class the way I want it to be built and raised. There will be punishments and there will be awarding to those who listen and to those who don’t, everything is managed. But, I see management differ from grade level to another, because, for example, the punishment for a kindergartner will differ from the punishment to an eighth grader. Also the class rules will differ as well from a low grade level to a higher grade level. The rules will be less strict and less worry for low grade level students, because they are little kids still they don’t understand very quickly. Therefore, low grade level teachers, I believe must have more patience than the high level grade teachers. The second most effective step to take in a classroom after making sure the class is managed carefully, is to become with great instructional methods. Some excellent instructional methods are the great and effective teacher lectures that are mostly used in the classroom, group and class discussions where each student expresses his or her thoughts and ideas, and some types of home or classwork like textbook assignments and reading assignments in
