- Learn new strategies on how to integrate literacy in all domains of a classroom.
- Use of effective technology that will help improve instruction.
- Become more comfortable with resources used during instruction such as books and other curriculum materials.
- I hope to teach in a public school located in an urban distract.
- I want to teach in a district that values community involvement, diversity, and learning through varies means. Where ever that may end up I leave it up to chance.
- I want to be the best teacher in a failing district or where ever I'm needed. My goal is to be the teacher that believes and pushes my students to do and be better learners.
There are many things that I want to learn about literacy instruction. Such as the strategies that work best with the students, how to balance written and verbal work and most of all getting through to my students why learning about literacy is important; reading and writing. The skills children learn in school will build the foundation for all of their education and will be used their whole life. I want to learn how certain learners retain information especially referring to literacy.
I read the Jigsaw article about literacy in an urban setting and it made me want to teach in an urban setting even more. My personal goals as a teacher are to push myself, go outside my comfort zone and provide the best possible education to my students. I'm not the biggest fan of English which is why I need to learn even more about that subject. What concepts are the most important and the strategies the students respond to best. I want to understand each part of my students lives, their cultural differences, what type of learner they are, and make them feel comfortable to share their personal experiences and interests at school. Show my students that they can express what matters to them through writing, essays or poems.
