What inspires me to become a teacher is that I want to inspire my students to want to learn in my classroom. I believe students are willing to discover and apply new information if it is presented in an interesting, challenging and relevant way. I strive as an educator to apply rigorous teaching methods across a broad range of informative, innovative, and interactive assignments. I will structure my classroom in ways that take into consideration students' diversity, as a class, as learners, and as individuals, and encourage collaboration and active learning experiences.
I believe each student has their own challenges and therefore I will use several teaching strategies and methods in my lessons such as classroom discussions, group activities, experimental learning, to accommodate for all my students' different learning styles. These methods facilitate academic rigor and relevancy through strategies that allow students to integrate information they have acquired with information they already own. At the same time, these methods challenge me to continually strive to make my teaching simultaneously accessible, challenging, relevant, and rigorous. The successful classroom is one where students enjoy learning, accept responsibility for their own learning process and are capable of integrating their new knowledge and skills in multiple ways outside the classroom.
