Why do I want to Teach?
When you ask me “what are your aims for teaching?”
- My aim for teaching would be to do my best to help and support my students, in any way I can.
Helping my students grow and develop into stronger students but also human beings.
- I want kids to smile and I want kids to come home from their day at school and be smiling, looking forward to the next day.
Another question is “What do you hope to accomplish when you teach?”
- I want kids to smile!
- I want my students to understand that they are perfect the way they are. They don’t have to be the smartest, most athletic, or the most artistic, they just have to be themselves, and that is always more than enough
- I want my students to embrace their uniqueness in any way they are passionate about, but while pursuing their own learning.
I believe it is a statement that embodies motivation and self confidence. I know from when I write or read motivational statements it helps me focus on what is truly important. So when I have my own classroom, I hope to have a variety of motivational statements plastering the walls.
I believe statements would follow as so:
- When I teach I want everyone to believe in themselves.
- When I teach I hope to pass on the belief everyone is equal.
- When I teach I am going to smile:)
- When I teach I want to make my kiddos feel at home and more comfortable.
Most important question to ask a new learning teacher is “why am I a teacher?”
- I am a teacher because I want to be there for my students.
