This poster, I believe, portrays a good representation of who I am as a TC, educator, and future teacher. I believe in the inclusivity of all children. Students should feel safe and my goal as a teacher is to ensure that I meet students where they are within my best ability. Whether it’s children celebrating or taking part in different traditions, how can I work to best support them? Or if it’s students with exceptionalities, how can I support them and make sure they feel included, safe, and welcomed? In addition, for students who excel in areas, how can I support them to ensure they receive an appropriate amount of challenge? For the variety of factors and areas student’s may need support in, I’m committed to my learning journey in ensuring I can support them as much as possible.
As a student, I know education is a constant learning journey. There is always new information, new ways, new ideas, and new factors to be aware of. I also know that mistakes will happen, but the most important thing, as a teacher candidate, is that I learn from those mistakes rather than hide from them, and use them to guide me in new ways. In addition, I believe in creating a fun and engaging environment in which students learn from but also remember as a positive experience.
