I’m working at has a bad stigma from the local areas. I have had to defend my job and my students a lot to the community and other teachers. I work with a veteran staff and I have had the opportunity to work with great teachers. I feel welcomed and the principal is trusting in my abilities and has provided me the opportunity to run my own program and I’m still making adaptations to reach all of the students. I think the reason I have been given this vote of confidence is because of the training and the development from my previous school district and principal in Phoenix. I have received a lot of professional development in my specific field and we had many opportunities to better ourselves. I also contribute my schooling through American College of Education to make me a better classroom teacher. I have learned so much in this program that I use in my class that has helped me raise student achievement and help me with community programs for my class and teams. My strengths and weaknesses are hard to identify with me being new to my school. I have only been working at my current job for nine …show more content…
I know we get evaluated twice a year, but you need to stop and see your staff at least once every few weeks to gain a connection with them and show them that you are willing to help them. New teachers need more support because of the lack of experience. It’s hard being new because you are going to experience things you never have during student teaching. The administrators need to show that they support their staff by providing development opportunities and showing that they want to be an integral part of their development. I am lucky to have the principal I have now because she is supportive of me and actually thanks me for what I do for the school. In my years of teaching I have never felt appreciated by my administration, but this year I do and it makes a huge difference in my
As retired teachers, we know it is important to stand up and support what we believe is best for our community. That is why we support Michael N. Smith for the office of Superintendent for Regional Office of Education #11. We cannot afford the status quo. We need someone who can build and foster a positive working relationship with all schools within our region where an honest exchange of ideas and concerns can take place without consequences. We need someone who has the support of area administrators who respect the office and the person who holds that office.

This allowed her fantastic bonds within the community and she was very well respected; however, our new superintendent has done a fantastic job in filling her shoes. He realizes how important both schools history is to the community members and incorporates it whenever he can. He is also very big on hiring community members, which makes the bond between our school and community even stronger. The kids in our school get so excited when they or their parents know their teacher outside of
I am also beginning the design process for a new district summer school program. Summer School 2.0 will be a web based program in which the teacher will meet with students once or twice a month to set goals and communicate via Google Classroom and email the remainder of the time utilizing online resources. I have been a go to person to help lead the building in the absence of the school principal. I have dealt with student behavior problems as well as conflicts with parents.

I have a wealth of experience and knowledge that make me a highly qualified candidate. I have worked for over twenty years as a speech therapy assistant, and began working in the schools a few years ago. Since working in the schools, I decided that I want to become a teacher. I have become recently certified through ABCTE for Elementary Education and Special Education, and I am waiting to receive my Idaho license.
For one, my initial gut-feeling that they weren’t really sure that I could handle a public school teaching position after coming from a Tech School was absolutely correct. While they would tell me that they became satisfied with my background and abilities rather quickly, the fact that they even considered that aspect both surprised me as well as annoyed me somewhat. By that point in my teaching career, I had been in a classroom for over twenty years and was fairly confident that I could handle just about anything that arose in any classroom in any school system. But, once again, the viewpoint of some people who believed that teachers in a Tech School classroom weren’t as proficient or as adequately prepared as teachers from a public school, just reminded me of that “second class” image that was still out there about Tech
Dear Rossier School of Education Faculty, Throughout my education I was not expected to succeed, english being my second language and attending low socioeconomic schools in the city of Santa Ana I was deemed to dropout of school like the majority of children before me. I rarely remember having a student-teacher relationship with an educator throughout my education, and as I succeeded academically my teachers were surprised but nothing more than surprised. Then there were the teachers that made all the difference, teachers that went above and beyond and left an everlasting impact on how I view education, and essentially what made achieving a higher education possible. With the guidance of teachers, instructors and school faculty I was admitted to the University of California Irvine which was not only an accomplishment and a dream of mine but an accomplishment for my family. My journey through education is still the reality of many children attending low socioeconomic schools and/or public schools today, Just like the amazing mentors I had throughout my education, I want to make a difference alongside of them by creating positive and supporting
I was invited to participate in administrative meetings, grade level meetings, and sit on the panel for interviews. I was given the opportunity to conduct classroom walk-throughs and observations during evaluations. During this time I have been asked step into the role of the assistant principal when he was not at school. I have learned the importance of effective leadership. Effective leadership is essential to the success of the school.
I want to become an assistant principal for one simple reason, the children. I believe that all children can learn under the right conditions. With this in mind, I feel that instructional leaders are responsible for ensuring that the conditions for learning are embedded in the school’s culture. Although my role as a Learning Team Facilitator enables me to have an impact on the academic achievement of students through working with teachers, I believe that becoming an assistant principal will help me to be more of a driving force throughout the school. I possess several personal attributes that are essential in serving in the capacity of an assistant principal.
Attending college wasn’t an obligation of mine but a choice that I took. My reasons are probably just like everyone else’s at my age. I wanted a better life for myself in the future that didn’t involve living paycheck by paycheck. Obtaining a college degree has such a strong influence on one’s life. College has been a dream of mine since I was little.
This past year I changed jobs, I left a nationally accredited preschool and went to work part time at a private preschool with has a more diverse cultural population and very little funds for materials and any type of improvements. I know the new preschool and it had a type of negative stigma, I knew my jib was going to be difficult. I have been going to work every day with a positive attitude, knowing what must happen to not only help the staff become successful but most importantly to help my students become successful. I was honestly terrified in the first few days of school when parents blew me off and did not want to meet with me before school started to obtain goals and information to help their children learn.
This job really taught me about the importance of children having a routine to follow as well as the impact teachers can have on a child’s life. After my first year in college, I realized that I wanted to gain more experience with children of all ages. Shortly after,
