ECS 203 – Summary of Learning – YouTube

• When I imagine myself sitting at my desk as a qualified educator, looking at the curriculum document on my desk, I see the students and will accommodate them.  I want the teachings towards students to be a process.  I believe that teachers need to build that strong foundation/relationship with the teacher-student relationships, to build trust.  The energy of the teacher builds that foundation.  I will give the students 100% of my best, because they deserve the best.  The type of teacher I want to be is not strict, I don’t want to scare kids, but being stern is another type of teaching, because respect goes both ways.  There is a fine line between how you don’t want students to walk all over you, yet you don’t want to micro-manage.  I want to approach the curriculum as an enjoyable experience, because a kid is only seven once.  I strongly am passionate about an inclusive environment for all learners.  The classroom should be a second home for learners and the teacher.  I believe that learning is always ongoing and should be embraced for all learners.   I believe that teachers learn through experience – which in turn makes their pedagogical stance stronger.  It’s not about being the best teacher, it’s about being the best for your students, that makes you the best teacher.  When you’re comfortable, the students in turn will be comfortable.  Patience is also a great asset as teachers, this is being accommodating for all learners.  Within University, it has taught me time management and teacher professionalism – this will benefit me as a future educator with creating those lesson plans and unit plans for students.  A teacher with good mental health and who is wholesome and has a good heart – I believe will bring passion into their teachings when I open up the curriculum document sitting on my desk.  It is about the approach and mindset before opening the document, which really sets the tone of how the lessons will be displayed.
