I love everything about school teachers. I have many educational heroes--in and out of the classroom. I come from a long line of educators. My younger sister is currently a principal at Northridge Elementary in Alpine School District. I have watched her for nearly two decades and am inspired at all that she accomplishes. My mother taught school for 18 years and she was a wonderful science, writing and arts teacher. She was just a great teacher. My maternal grandfather was a math teacher and vice principal during his career in Alpine School District. He has been retired for twenty-five plus years. He is 91 years old and continues to love education. My uncle was the superintendent of Alpine School District and now works for Brigham Young University. So, it is in my blood to love teaching. Each of these people are heroes in my eyes because they truly love students.
As a mother of five students, the quality that endears me to a teacher is her ability to communicate well, love teaching and inspire my children. So, I think the thing that I will learn from this class that will be very helpful is in communicating. I want to be able to communicate with my future students and parents so that there will be a connectedness. I'm thrilled to be in your class.
I have always wanted to be a teacher, but chose to have a family first. Now, my youngest of five children is in first grade, so I decided it was time to finish the El Ed program and follow through with my goal. I would actually love to teach any grade, but would most like to teach 4-6 if given the opportunity. I had a great teacher in 6th grade and would like to pay it forward someday by becoming a 6th grade teacher.
