Teaching to me is about how to engage the student. The material that is prepared for daily lessons can be nothing more than just words to some students. The instructor must become one with the student and understand them on their level. Once you can see eye to eye with your students, then you can begin to help them learn and grow. I learn right along with my students, gaining interpersonal skills from every student. The student's feedback and honesty helps me as an instructor meet the needs of future students. Students are the backbone of the future and their strength comes from how you teach them to see themselves in the world making a difference. Knowledge is a tool and as with all tools you have to show the student how use it and make it work for them. I have taken many courses over an extended period of time. In 2002 I entered the Surgical Technology program at Jefferson Technical Co

I enjoy teaching, I find it to be one of the most rewarding expeirences not only for the learner but for the teacher as well. Although my experience is with adult learners, I would welcome the opportunity to work with children. I had an opportunity to volunteer as a big sister for the BBBS organization and I really enjoyed the interaction between myself and my 5th grade mentee. As far as my teaching style, I try not to limit the learner or myself to any one particular style. I believe everyone has a unique and idividual way of learning. What works for one person may not work for another. There are many approaches and methods of teaching, some learners are visual while others may be more participative. My style of teaching is centered around the learner, I leave it up to the learner to determine what my style will be. I am always very excited about the opportunity to learn

I like to teach all age levels. I try to teach in a way that allows them to learn best. Every student has their own way of learning, some are more visual while others are more text driven. I feel that educators play an important role in helping students figure out how to learn best and motivate them to want to continue learning more. I am very patient and understanding, which are also key elements for a child to feel comfortable to learn. I have always had a love for science, which prompted me to pursue a BS in biology and MS in microbiology. While doing so, I was able to acquire experience instructing biology labs for undergraduate students.

I use the scientific method of teaching. My style is Socratic. I believe, as Rene Descartes did before me, that human knowledge is innate, including our ability to learn and use language. I teach children to learn by given them the tools they need to think logically and abstractly. Life is dynamic, what happens today, will likely change tomorrow. I believe that children need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. The scientific method is a great way of learning cause and effect. Few of us are fortunate enough to learn from others talking. Most of us learn by doing. That is my method. I have a very diverse background range from English to science. My jobs require me to understand complex topics so that I can convert them into concepts that are understandable by lay audiences. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. I am finishing my Master of Science in Entomolog

I love being able to help someone reach that 'light bulb' moment of understanding a concept. Making a connection for the learner is imperative. I have a collaborative, interactive style. I tend to use visuals to help illustrate the point. I ask questions to make sure my analogies and metaphors are meaningful and help the learner. I find it useful to aid textbook material with a description of a process, a way of committing something to memory, or descpriton of how to grasp a concept as akin to a common experience/moment we have all had. I work to find a touchstone to help imbed a concept and build the learning process. I find great joy in learning, myself, and like to use creativity in bringing a concept to life. I work as a Clinical Research Analyst. My vocational background is entirely in the healthcare industry, with particular education and practial knowledge in anatomy, physiology,

I've worked with children in various educational and tutorial capacities over the past years and have a firm belief that every child’s capabilities as a student are connected to the capability of the teacher/tutor to understand the needs of the individual student. I have a strong belief that with patience, persistence and positive reinforcement that every child can do their best. I have six years experience working with children of all ages in an educational capacity. I worked as a literacy tutor and I taught autistic pre-schoolers in the public school system.

A child must learn to read fluently with the ability to comprehend information from texts. The basics of mathematics must be set in place so that more abstract ideas may be taught. Along with these two components, a student needs to acquire the ability to write thoughts, information, and facts confidently. Instruction should be student centered and address all intelligences.. It is critical to be aware that children learn in many different ways. Text book learning gives application, but it is also important to include a variety of teaching techniques in the curriculum to maximize knowledge, retention, and practicality.It is critical to incorporate , experiments, inquiries, role play, and virtual field trips into the instruction.
