Looking Forward
More than a week in at North Kingston High School and I couldn’t be more excited about the time ahead of me. Having the opportunity to work with Mrs. Carty is more than I could have asked for, as she is supportive and knowledgeable, a truly good guide for me as I take on the role of student teaching. The last week and a half has eased me into a certain comfortability within the classroom, as I entered my first week as students were taking exams, and now being the start of the second semester, all in all it is the perfect time for my arrival.
As I look down the road at taking on more and more responsibilities within the classroom, I hope to channel my energy into creating thorough lesson plans that reflect my unique personality, and my beliefs based on my philosophies concerning teaching.
Here are a few I have intimate relationships with, or, in other words, that I have truly invested myself with:
Relationships lead to learning- learning alongside our peers and building a community that fosters brilliance in every area of life.
To encourage/appreciate the differences that makes us unique and the understanding that being mean to another human stems from fear.
I don’t know everything; but I will continually grow along with my students- learning is not 1-sided, and the day it becomes so will be the day I need to re-evaluate what I’m doing…
Knowledge is power- it is my job to show students the attainability of this power, and that it is available for all students- not just those going to college… it is actually useful in all aspects of life if you are a living, breathing, blood pumping organism that needs to communicate with others…
