Name one social issue of concern and project how schools, schooling, or you as a teacher might be able to help address this issue.  What good will it do?  What part can you play?   Social Issue:  OBESITY   Step 1:  Create...

Collaborating with others is a necessity in almost all professions. As a FCS teacher I will need to collaborate with the administration for funding and approval of any special meals my students prepare. My students and I will collaborate with the drama...

On any given day, if a stranger entered your classroom what would they think about the learning environment you create?  What would it tell them about you as a teacher or your relationship with your students?   On any given day, if a stranger...

It is hard for me to think of only 2 topics that I an excited to teach but I think the two I am looking forward to the most would be Nutrition and Culinary Arts.   I have worked in the foodservice industry since 1979 in many places throughout the...

  I would like to change the delivery method used by many of the teachers in the schools today to include a well-rounded use of all students multiple intelligences. I feel as though I was left out of many of my classes as a high school student because...

There are many things I hold dear and will not compromise but the top 3 would have to be my commitment to family, commitment to the U.S. Navy, and my personal integrity. First and foremost I will never compromise my family and specifically my wife and...

A teacher’s success is determined solely by the effect he/she has on his/her students.  Our job is to teach students, and to measure our effectiveness, we need to measure our students’ learning.  While it is true that we will not be able to...

The goal of physical education is to give students the skills to be physically active and healthy for a lifetime.  This is the top of the mountain.  To get to the top of the mountain, the students need certain tools.  In my opinion, the...

What way can you have an influence on your school and you students besides teaching?   When I was in school, my classroom teachers were just the people who taught my classes. It was my coaches and advisors who really stood out to me and made my...

Name one social issue of concern and project how schools, schooling, or you as a teacher might be able to help address this issue. What good will it do, what part can you play?   This question stuck out to me immediately as something I feel passionate...

A successful teacher knows how to reach her students and make the learning experience fun and enjoyable.  Teachers can use activities and different models of intelligences to help students learn material in a more adaptable way so each student...

Parents trust teachers to take care of their children up to 8 hours a day, five days a week.  Teaching is a job of great responsibility.  We expect police officers to follow the law--to see them break the law is an outrage.  Similarly,...

I think it's extremely important that everyone knows at least three things that they hold dear and would never compromise for sure. Sometimes, we all get caught up in life and need to get back to the basics and remember the things that we truly...

What makes a teacher successful and who should be the judge of that success and why? I think a teacher's success starts with the teacher's goals. A good teacher understands herself as an individual and understands how to make attainable...

As a future teacher what do you see as your main weakness and how will you work on improving this? I think my main weakness is organization. For the past year or so I have worked REALLY hard trying to find a way of organization that works best for me...

I particularly liked this question because I think that, for obvious reasons, it's important that we as future teachers clearly understand what we think the purpose should be of the institution we'll be entering into for a lifelong career. First...

Which habits of thinking, mind, intellect, and character do you possess that make you an example or role model for today’s youth?    I’m a self-proclaimed relativist. Not absolutely (which is appropriate, I think), but there are not many things...

Why do you want to be a teacher or speech pathologist?   When I was in seventh grade I started dating a girl from a different school. I hadn’t had to deal with homophobia yet, so I was really unprepared for what would happen when folks at my junior...

            I believe I offer very much to a school system. I am a very open individual who is very diverse in interests. I believe strongly against the use of drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, etc....

I feel that one part of my professional training where I feel I need more training is in assessing and grading the students during class. This is one of the hardest parts of being a physical education teacher. Throughout a day you see around 100 different...

            Success can be measured on so many different levels. I believe a teacher is successful if they meet their own goals of giving students the tools they need to reach the benchmarks created...

I feel that schools are starting to put to much pressure on students in schools today. They have to learn more material at a younger age so they can be presented new material. This is putting a lot of pressure on the students to be the best they can....

            After having a few practicum courses here at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point involved with hands-on teaching experiences I know my main weakness as a teacher is being a...

            My main area of discipline is physical area. I am excited to teach adventure education principles at all levels, K-12. I believe adventure education focuses mainly on the social aspect...

My philosophy revolves around focusing on the student, the parent(s)/guardian(s), technology, and the educational process that, in turn, revolve around the relationships of the aforementioned.  I intend on treating students with respect and being...
