About Me
I am currently a sophomore at the University of South Alabama. I am majoring in Secondary Education/Social Science. I plan on graduating in 2012 and then start my journey as an educator. I believe teaching is one of the most rewarding and important jobs so I will strive to be the best I can be. I look forward to teaching and plan on embracing the use of technology in the classroom. In a technological generation such as ours I believe it is important to keep up with students and what interest them.
My Teaching Philosophy
The motto that sums up my teaching philosophy is, "I am more than just a teacher." In my experience the teachers I remember and respect the most are the ones who actually taught me something. They were passionate about their work and strived to make a difference in every students' life. This is my goal as a teacher. I want my students to learn as much as they possibly can from me. By making learning the material interesting and fun I want them to absorb the information. It is important to me that my students not only respect me and see my passion for the subject matter but also for them to trust me. I believe teachers have a responsibility and an opportunity to be involved in students' lives. They are to be inspirational, encouraging and also demanding. As a teacher I want to be encouraging but at the same time push my students to meet their highest potential. Teachers are responsible for shaping students and I personally want to shape my students in a positive way.
