Cover Letter For Elementary School

391 Words2 Pages

I am pleased to be writing this letter as a means of introducing myself to Oldfields School School. I believe that one of the primary purposes of a STEM teacher is to help students realize that they are capable of learning challenging STEM concepts. Therefore, creating a classroom that builds confidence in student’s science skills is a goal that I strive to achieve. By presenting material in multiple ways, as well as creating a student-centered learning environment, I feel that students will find purpose in what they are learning. Not every student believes that they are scientifically gifted. As a teacher, my job is to foster a growth mindset and show students that they can learn science.
It is important for teachers to create an encouraging

  • The Great Influenza Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    712 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people already see scientists as intelligent, but it is not as common to hear that scientists have “passion, patience, creativity, self-sufficiency, and courage.” Popular culture may promote scientists as automaton-like and lacking sentiment, or perhaps as the classic mad scientist, but Barry’s description of scientists shows that they are indeed real people whose work requires a great determination and confidence and extends beyond the realm of pure intellectualism. Using simple, but positive language allows Barry to create empathy in the reader for the scientist, but perhaps more importantly, to convey his message to a broad

    Numerous calls for change in the ways science is being taught in America offer beguiling challenges that are not new to the science education community. Most visions of promoting educational change focus on the societal need for a more scientifically literate nation. Such changes and literacy developed through the use of research-based instructional methods are predicted to increase recruitment into math, science and engineering careers that serve as America‘s economic engines (Center for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Education, Committee on Undergraduate Science Education, 1999; National Science Foundation, 1996; Project 2061/American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1989). Along with science literacy, calls for change in instructional methods stress active learning through inquiry that models scientific processes. Research indicates that teachers who use collaborative or active teaching approaches achieve higher levels of student learning than those using more traditional and passive instructional techniques (Goodsell, Maher, & Tinto, 1992; Wankat, 2002; Weimer and Lenze, 1994).

    Evolving methodologies for curriculum and instruction are essential to improving how we educate. McMillian positions that essential to this is understanding the value of scientific inquiry. He explains, “the principles of scientific inquiry provide the foundation for conducting studies…analyzing educational problems, making decisions, and designing, conducting, reporting, and evaluating” (McMillian, 2016, p. 7) to provide significant benefits for engaging students and affecting achievement.
