...skills necessary for becoming strong, confident learners who will continue on to excel in higher pursuits. During my student teaching placements in Rochester, New York and Kumasi, Ghana, I witnessed the many frustrations that struggling readers experience in all academic areas. Students struggling with reading comprehension could not solve math word problems because they could not identify information necessary for creating equations. Similarly, children with limited academic vocabularies had difficulty distinguishing between content-specific terms in...

...for the world around them—a stimulant for the insatiable appetite of the inquiring mind. I believe in differentiation through play. I believe in lessons that are designed to take in the consideration the values of freedom and creativity. If students are provided with only a limited set of acceptable responses, then, as teachers, we cannot expect them to respond with fervor or 100% accuracy, as various learning needs dictate a demand for delineation. Play is...

Behind ever dedicated teacher is a dedicated student. I am a life-long learner. Life-long learning is absolutely necessary in order to keep up with the ever changing society we live in. It is my personal mission to take advantage of trainings and learning the latest teaching techniques, ideas, laws, polices and procedures to stay current in my profession in order to help my students learn to the fullest. ... Behind every dedicated teacher is a dedicated student. I am a life-long learner. I truly believe this is the only way to be a great teacher in our ever-changing world. No two students will be alike. Each year our classrooms will change. Teaching techniques, ideas, laws, policies, and procedures will forever be changing. It is up to every single teacher to take the time to learn about their students each year. With enthusiasm and excitement we should try to discover the most effective ways to meet our students' needs both as individual learners and as a classroom whole. We should know that this may require creativity, communication, and collaboration with others. Due to the changes within society, children and the world itself, I know I will always need to be a student. I will need to take it upon myself to take the time for professional growth. I also firmly believe that although I am my students' teacher, sometimes the best teachers are the students themselves. Within each student and classroom is a learning experience waiting to happen.

...match the strength of their ideas. I also tutor in writing, humanities subjects, and standardized testing, but my teaching goals are consistent throughout: the key to peak performance in any field, particularly in the high pressure scenarios of public speaking and standardized testing, is confidence in one's own abilities. I think the competitive intensity of the classroom can hamper many students' confidence, but tutoring can remedy this by creating a safe and individualized environment for...
