“Why Teach?”

-


Hello! My name is Cameron Rinando. I am currently 20 years old. I am currently a Sophomore at Texas State University. I am majoring in Elementary Education! I recently transferred to Texas State University from Lamar University. I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl. I have been motivated by several teachers who changed my life in the best way possible. 

My previous teachers have inspired me to pursue my elementary education degree. My 10th-grade math teacher, Mrs. Howland, was an inspiration to me. She is one of the main reasons that I developed such a love for learning. She is also one of the reasons that I decided to pursue teaching as a career. Her teaching style was very personable, and she was very passionate about teaching her students. I hope I can create a classroom that encourages my students to have fun while still learning the same way that she was able to for her students.

I started volunteering at a daycare while I was a Junior in high school and that is when I knew that I have a passion for learning and inspiring children. I love to learn and I thrive in a learning environment. I would love to be a kindergarten teacher but I am completely open to any elementary school grade level. I like the creativity and independence that teaching offers. 

I know that teaching is a hard job, but it is one where you can make the most impact in a child's life. I believe that teachers have the opportunity to completely change their student's lives for the better. I would love to be able to pass on the love and motivation that my teachers gave me to my future students. Overall I would love to be an Elementary school teacher because of the opportunity to profoundly impact the lives of children.

School segregation and education inequality  are the results of racist school policies and  individual choices.  School integration in the United States is the process of ending race-based segregation within American public and private schools. Racial segregation in schools has existed throughout most of American history and still remains an issue in public and private schools. There is a quote that I was told by a past teacher that I think relates to the topic of s chool segregation and education inequality. The quote is  “Children get dealt grossly unequal hands, but that is all the more reason to treat them equally in school, Chris thought. "I think the cruelest form of prejudice is... if I ever said, 'Clarence is poor, so I'll expect less of him than Alice.' Maybe he won't do what Alice does. But I want his best." She knew that precept wasn't as simple as it sounded. Treating children equally often means treating them very differently. But it also mean...

What are you willing to do to educate all children?

I am willing to do everything in my control to educate all children. I will apply  various teaching techniques and keep an open mind to view and teach students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. There was a paragraph from this unit that really stood out to me.  The paragraph said ' Teachers must actively learn about their particular students in order to design instruction that will meet their needs. This includes being deliberate about trying to understand the cultural norms for communicating and collaborating that prevail in particular communities, how certain cultural and religious views affect what is considered appropriate in school, and the topics and issues that interest individual students and groups of students. It also means keeping track of what is happening in students’ personal lives so as to be able to respond appropriately when an out-of-school experience affects what is happening in school.'  It is important that as future teachers we adjust ...
