Statement of PurposeEducation is important. A quality education is invaluable. A
quality education is not limited merely to subject content, but teaches a
student life skills and results in a life-long learner. This type of education
requires a well-trained teacher who can meet the challenges of the modern
classroom, and design lessons that meet both the needs of the subject and the
student. This quality education does not occur in a vacuum. Teaching is truths
communicated though personality. It demands a positive relationship between
teacher and student. This is the profession to which I am called, and to which
I am striving.
I Am The Director Of My Student's Educational ExperienceThe
film director works with a script, actors, action, stage sets, sound
technicians, choreographers, costume makers, and historians to create a
film experience that inspires, not only the viewers, but all who have
participated in the process as well. I do the same thing in the
classroom. I work with academic content, students, administrator, a
classroom, activities, other teachers, and resources to create a
learning experience that will inspire my students learning. I am
responsible for overseeing every creative aspect of the educational
experience of my students. I develop a vision for a class, decide how
the class should operate, what tone the instruction should have, and
what the students should gain from the educational experience. I am
responsible for choosing, approving, or creating every resource my
students use in class to help them with building background knowledge,
demonstrating their knowledge in culturally relevant ways, providing
opportunities for them to share what they have learned with others, and
assessing what they have learned. I work closely with other
professionals, administration, students, instructional assistances,
parents, and fellow teachers to shape the learning of the students. By
continuously assessing each performance, the director helps the actor
achieve the best possible performance. I work with my students;
assessing work and help each make any necessary adjustments to grow in
knowledge and life skills now and for their future. |
