So I can teach him how to read and spell. He is the reason why I choose this field. He would always tell me to become the best teacher I can be.

Professional Goals

A lot of people have good intentions when it comes to setting professional goals. When I first sat down to write my professional goals statement, I thought it would be easy. I am at a point in my life that I am focusing on "what's next". So, how difficult could it be to simply write down those goals? When I began writing, however, I discovered it was going to be a little more difficult than I anticipated. I realized that it may be possible to have too many goals. My first goal is to complete the Masters of Science in Early Childhood Studies- Teaching Adults in the Early Childhood Field . I want to be able to complete this degree within 15 months. Working really hard, I believe I can accomplish this goal. I have motivation and passion to complete this goal so pursue to all of my goals.

 

My next goal relates to the success of my students. I decided to become a teacher was the desire to affect the lives of others. Unfortunately, today many people in our society do not look favorably on young adults. I believe I have a responsibility in their lives to make sure that my students are getting the best education possible so that they can succeed in whatever they choose. I feel that Walden's' graduate program would help me in this endeavor. Any time that a teacher or educator can learn about new educational theories and practices, they will be able to become more effective teacher. The world of education is ever-changing. In order to become a more effective teacher, I have to discover for myself how those superior theories and practices can be used to help my students become the future leaders of our country.

 

My final goal is to become a college professor. I have a degree that allows me to do more than what some people refer to as "just teaching". I considered for a while becoming a teacher trainer. At some point in my life, I would like to be a college professor. The difference between teaching early childhood and college students appears great. Although some of the students are only one year apart in age, the maturity and focus of college students is alluring, and will probably become more so as my life progresses.

 

Although I have some experience with teaching adults, I know that it will be important for me to learn the challenges that come with teaching at a postsecondary level. I am hoping to gain more understanding of these challenges through my graduate study. It will be important for me to learn the different learning styles of adults, and how the postsecondary environment affects the education process. I now know that I have found the program that will fit my needs and will help me to reach my goals.

 

As I look back over these goals, I am pleased that I had to write it. I knew in the back of my mind that I had several things I wanted to accomplish in my lifetime, but I had never put them down on paper, or thought about how I could reach those goals. Having to write these professional goals, however, helped me to realize that I should be working toward my goals as well as well as focusing on what was next. With the three professional goals I provided I believed I took in a great part of the mission statement of the Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership. The purpose of this mission is to prepare learners to become effective in the world.

These are some the quotes that has really has been with me since I was young. As far as I can remember, my daddy has always told me to never stress over thing..Always relax and everything will fall into place.  I was always told to go for all my goals in life. Never give up on anything. When I was young i never understood what "Every dog has a day" meant. Over the years i got an understanding, that it meant every person or thing has their time to shine or succeed in life. I am proud to say it is my time now!!

"The Cat in the Hat" is one of Dr. Seuss' most beloved and memorable books ever created! This is basically a story about how two kids are left home alone and along comes the Cat in the Hat who wants to play with the kids, but also causes all kinds of trouble along the way!

His books were easy for me to read as a very young child. They are excellent primers for beginning readers. They are also beautifully illustrated and they will tease and twist your child's mind into a delightful pretzel filled with laughter.

Made a Difference

When I was an intern during 2009, I experienced so much. Some of the questions, I wanted to know about children I finally got the answers. I was given the opportunity to work with pre-school students. I enjoyed every moment of working with those children. While being assigned to this classroom, I was also assigned to a student. This child really changed my life. She was five years old and did not know how to spell her name. I really could not believe this. I always thought many children learn to do this around age three. I guess I was wrong. I worked with this child until she knew how to spell her name. We played name games and letter acknowledgment games. She told me, “she like learning”. After hearing that, I wanted to cry. I was touched. I made a difference in someone’s’ life.

OTPP - Why Choose Teachers'?

OTPP - Why Choose Teachers'?

There is one thing I have developed over the past five years and that is a sharp knowledge of the shortage of the traditional education. Living in the 21st century, an era in which many young adults are not as interested in education. I feel that it is important to incorporate many views and theories not only into our education, but also into our public school system as well. Through my graduate studies, I plan to develop my ability to look and examine many ways to reach out to many young adults.

This formulation of my goals did not come about easily. During my first few years of undergraduate study, I had a lot of difficulty finding my "position" in the education field. I often felt as if I were simply studying the criticism of others without really developing my own voice and opinions. I made conscious efforts to identify my own latent assumptions, and I constantly monitored my thoughts to ensure that they were not the simple regurgitation of others' opinions.

After a semester of internship, I saw myself through the revealing lens of a true educator, and I began to challenge the assumptions in which I was drenched. In November of 2009, I publicly challenged homophobia in my classroom by presenting a wonderful lesson for my instructor. In the midst of such self-actualization, I had an intellectual epiphany that helped me identify my ability to further my education. I have gain more confidence in trying new and excited things. Being a member of the online community will be a great opportunity for me.
