Hello, my name is Eileen! I am studying Secondary English Education at Towson University. My passions include reading, writing, playing with dogs, and coffee. Education is the great equalizer and that is why I've devoted my work and study to it.... "The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing."- Albert Einstein. I believe that the foundation of education is curiosity. It is important when teaching any subject to value questioning in your students. In the Age of Information, it is often so easy to confuse the ideas of others with our own opinions. We adopt the ideas of others and often lose the ability to create ideas for ourselves. So much has been discovered, but when a person opens up their mind and starts to question, they are gifted with so much more. Curiosity is built on perspective. It is unbiased factual knowledge that starts as a clean canvas for students to create their own ideas. The canvas soon fills with perspective built on discussion with other students, questions asked like how and why, and the essential objective of diversity. As a teacher, I will try to harbor the extensive perspective that comes with diverse students. Racial diversity, socioeconomic diversity, diversity in the ability of students to learn, and geographical diversity (the diversity of where the students' homes are) are all essential to creating an atmosphere where students can apply what they learn. Through conversation and group discussion in the classroom, students will be able to better understand how the literature being read applies to people of all backgrounds. This creates students who are quick to question what they have been told and to open up their minds outside of their studies and take in the perspective that the world has to offer them. It is essential that the teacher acts as a mentor. There should be mutual respect between the teacher and students. A teacher must be open minded and instigate questioning. They should direct the conversation and spark creativity in the thoughts of their students. Teachers are not there to dictate the opinions of a student. They are there to offer the information, so that the student may question and determine how they feel about it. Students should not feel unsafe in the classroom. They should not feel discriminated against based on their opinions and backgrounds. Most importantly, a student should leave a classroom feeling confident that the information they take in can be applied inside and outside of the classroom.

I tutored at a writing center while an undergraduate student, and became an Advanced Certified Tutor through the College Reading and Learning Association.
