2. Describe something you have accomplished that makes you proud. What did you learn from this experience that might help you to ensure high academic achievement for all of your students?
As a student, I devoted my educational efforts to certain academic subjects that interested me more than to other subject matter areas. Whereas science and mathematics were always interesting to me, I was somewhat bored by other subjects, like World History. I persevered by memorizing material covered by the curriculum, but failed to learn much of what I memorized for the sake of performance on exams.
Much later, I discovered that some of the same subject matter was available in video format and that, for whatever reason, I learned history in a much more genuine way from the audio-visual medium than from textbooks. As an adult in the education field, I realized that a moderately good understanding of world history is a functional requirement of being an effective professional educator. In that respect, I would have to admit to a certain degree of pride in having overcome an obstacle to learning in my early education and the fact that I am, in a sense, "self taught" in several academic areas that have increased my abilities as an instructor.
My professional experience and observation...
In many cases, students who learn at a lower level from traditional lecture and textbook medium than would be expected to correspond to their reading comprehension absorb the same information much more readily from audio-visual presentations. Unfortunately, many of those students never discover their true academic potential.
Unfortunately, the increased emphasis on preparation for standardized testing in the areas tested in connection with NCLB compliance only exacerbates the degree to which contemporary education programs neglect alternate instructional methods and presentation of a more enriching curriculum, particularly in high-need institutions. It is my sincere hope and intention to fulfill my formal teaching responsibilities (including those related to NCLB compliance issues) in the manner most conducive to nurturing my students' individual talents and academic abilities. In that respect, my personal experiences as student increased my awareness of the degree to which the potential academic success of many students depends on varied approaches to subject matter presentation.
Likewise, Callista Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing provides a contextual bridge between the internal physiological determinants of patient health and the crucial aspects of external environment that typically influence patient health and (especially) patient perceptions and attitudes about health and medical or nursing interventions. Together, application of the principles promoted by Watson's Caring Model and by Roy's Adaptation Model of nursing complement my clinical training in a manner that
Scaffolding serves as immediate need of creating lesson plan customization and support for specific student needs. Over time, I observed this student gain greater mastery of the subject and find purpose in studying American history. We set the goal of having him go to the whiteboard and lead discussions of World War I at least three times during the semester. We practiced and walked through concepts. As I learned
personal philosophy learning a process continuous; learns things day. You knowledgeable a There are many different ways of learning and of teaching. In fact, there appears to be an intrinsic relationship between learning and teaching. Teachers, after all, must have learned something in order to successfully depart this knowledge to others. Due to the multitude of methods for teaching and learning, it is important to consider factors such as
personal leadership style depends on experience and self-awareness. "To thine own self be true" does not seem like a maxim relevant to leadership, but during our interview, Jane Carson described how personal integrity and honesty directly relates to leading a group. The informational interview conducted for this project focused on Ms. Carson's own leadership experiences and how they helped her develop a personal leadership philosophy. Echoing what the class
Teaching Philosophy PERSONAL OBJECTIVES FOR TEACHING My personal objectives for teaching are to inspire students to continue to pursue learning. I do not believe that my goal as a teacher of nursing is to simply impart insight related to whatever module or learning objectives that I have at that particular moment in time in which I am working with students. Instead, my true aim is to impart such insight so well and
Personal Philosophy of Education One of the most important elements in teaching practice is developing a personal educational philosophy that guides practices in the classroom and shape the decision-making process. My personal educational philosophy for my classroom environment is to provide opportunities that challenge students and provoke them to grow and develop towards realization of their individual full potential. This would entail taking students or learners through different levels in the
