The Type of Teacher I Want to Be.....

I want to be the kind of teacher who makes a huge impact on the student's lives. The type of teacher where you look back and think of all the great memories you had in that class. I think making learning fun and interesting for the student's is really important. I know I specifically have great memories of my 2nd grade teacher because he put a huge prioritiy in making sure the student's were engaged and having fun. He would have us play a lot of games and do different activities to change things up. I know that you can't always do "fun" things in school, but I really want to try and make my classroom as fun and inviting as possible. I also want to be a caring and understanding teacher. I want student's to feel comfortable talking to me when they have a problem. Letting your student's know that you care is so important in creating a good learning enviroment for everyone. finally, I hope to become better educated with in helping student's with exceptional needs. I plan to get a minor in special education because I think it's really important that I know how I can help these student's since I will always have a variety of student's with many different needs, these student's deserve to get a great education just as much as any other student does. I look forward to getting into my student teaching and learning new ways to become the best teacher that I possibly can.
