My Love For Teaching
What inspired you to be a teacher?
I was inspired to be a teacher by my high school music director. The environment that she create in her classroom was inviting, and watching her teach made me realize that I wanted to teach as well.
My Story
What legacy do you hope to leave as an educator?
I hope to be an inspiration to my own students, just like my music director was for me. Throughout my time as an educator, I want to show my students how to appreciate music and how to pass that appreciation on to others.
My Mindset
What actions and mindset will be needed during the unique setting of the 2025 school year?
I believe that I will need to be patient, open-minded, and dedicated in order to succeed this year. There will be situations that I am unprepared for, and I will constantly be trying new things. I need to be patient with myself, open-minded with my surroundings, and dedicated to my learning.
I had a same experience with how positive the environment was in my high school's music classroom. I'm very excited to see how you grow within this semester of student teaching!

ReplyDeleteMentioning having patience for yourself is a mindset that I agree will be important to remember throughout student teaching.
I think music is a gift you are able to give to every child for their social and emotional health. Thank you for being open-minded to sharing your talents with others and helping others be inspired by you.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I find it moving and relatable that you already know that you need to be patient and open minded. Being knowledgeable that there will be situations you aren't prepared for is setting you up for growth!
