Currently I am a still a student
embarking on a journey to becoming an art educator. The things I have learned this past year have been extremely
rewarding to me. The experiences I have had within the schools and in the
classroom have given me a great amount of insight as I step closer to having my
own classroom someday.
Through my multicultural experiences
I have begun to understand how important it is to embrace our differences.
Often time’s people want everyone to be the same but the truth is we are all
different and from those differences we can learn from each other. So,
understanding this I hope to bring a more multi-cultural standpoint to my
teaching.
Through my experiences I have also
seen how encouragement and respect can bring a student to a whole new
level. One of the greatest ways to
obtain respect is by letting the students understand that you care. You are stern with the rules but you
are also willing to get to know them. It’s the simple acts that sometimes let
them know you are really there for them. In each of my experiences I have found
that students accept the encouragement you give them if they really feel like
there is a level of respect.
Certainly this is only a small
fragment of the many things, which I have learned. I think the most important understanding for myself is
knowing that every time I step into the classroom I feel like I am on the right
path. I truly want to help these
students learn and find their passions while teaching them about a subject I am
passionate about.
