  1. Why I Want To Teach By: Lindsey Dilk

  2. INTASC • Standard 9: • The teacher engages in ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate his/ her practice, particularly the effects of his/ her choices and actions on others (learners, families, other professionals, and the community), and adapts practice to meet the needs of each learner. • Name of Artifact: Personal Statement • Course: Education 101 • Date: September 23, 2013 • Brief Description: • In this assignment we will figure out why we want to be a teacher and what methods will make us the most successful throughout our careers. As a teacher your mind has to be open to different opinions. • Rationale: • By figuring out what our mentality is we will be able to learn and adapt it to better suite the needs of our students, community, and fellow teachers. As teaching professionals starting out with a personal mantra will make starting out that much easier.

  3. Why do I Want to be a Teacher? • I want to… • Be a teacher to inspire children to be the best that they can be. • Have a positive impact on the future. • Help give children the tools they need to succeed in life.

  4. Effective Traits of a Teacher • Committed • Caring • Courageous • Organized • Conscious • Centered • An overwhelming amount of optimism • Self evaluation • Bright and Cheerful • Exuberant

  5. Student Characteristics Split Decision! • Ideally I would like to teach in an elementary school in a small rural community, as I would like to live in a more rural community I think it would be rewarding to teach where I live. However, I do believe it would be equally, if not more rewarding, to work in an inner city environment. • I think that working with children who are underprivileged would be the most rewarding, however I am not sure that I could emotionally handle seeing the conditions in which some are accustomed too. Also there would be a diversity in every sense in the inner city. • Working in a more rural environment would probably be a little bit easier and more slow paced. Although I will have to teach the same things in each class there would be less diversity and less sadness working in a more rural environment.

  6. Community Characteristics • I would ideally like to teach in a community where the children are generally living in homes where they receive educational support as well as the necessary emotional support they need. • I would like to teach in a community when the community is involved in enhancing the school and the educational.

  7. Contributions to the Professions • I would love to be involved in coaching an after school sport in the school I will teach at. • I expect to be fully invested in teaching a making sure every child I have in my class or coach via after school program feels that if they ever are having a problem or trouble with something they can come to me and rely on me to help them work through their problems.
