I’m willing to do whatever it takes to educate all children. This means being flexible and open to learning new methods and actually utilizing them. With this class, I really like that social media usage is the primary tool we use. It expands our ideas to people who never would have heard us without it. I remember when I went through, following different educational accounts, I got my first follow back from someone else in the education community and was so excited! I thought it was crazy that my page was expanding already. I definitely plan to continue using my account as my career continues because there’s such a wealth of knowledge at my fingertips beyond just what I learn in my classes. Being an educator, it’s important to move with the times. Your students are forever changing, just like what they need to learn. Simultaneously expanding your own knowledge as you teach your students is one of the major keys to succeeding in providing the best education you can. This, along with ensuring a healthy and creative environment for your students to grow in, especially paying mind to those who require more assistance. One way I’ll make sure I’m accessible to my students who may need extra help is to be at school early and late to not only ensure I’m ready for each school day but to allow a sort of “study hall” for struggling students or students who want to make sure they’re on track. This, as well as some sort of open lunch period for students to come in. I know personally I generally didn’t like asking for help in class due to social anxiety, but if there was an open time for me to come in that’s when I would come in for any questions, so I want to provide the same opportunity for my future students to increase my capability of educating all children.
