Week 2
I expect teaching to be a lot of work and very challenging, but I also expected it to be very rewarding and fulfilling. The reason why I want to teach is that I think teaching is the best profession in the world. Not only do teachers continue learning wile they teach, but they also have the opportunity to touch and influence, if they choose to, their student’s lives. I believe that one must enter this career aware of the bad things as well as the good things, but with a very clear purpose for doing it. I hope to inspire youth to aspire for more for them and their families. I hope that I could teach them that they have a choice to be what ever they want. If I could do that then I will be satisfied. I know I have a responsibility to help my community overcome the awfulness of poverty and ignorance (and by poverty I do not only mean economically). I would like to see the next generation satisfied and happy in whatever profession they choose. I want to teach in immigrant and minority communities because those are usually the poorest, which puts them in a disadvantage. These poor communities
California Content Standards
Week 3
According with
the department of education the California Content Standards were
designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by
defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should
acquire at each grade level. The reason these standards are important is
because they are the only way that students can get a more equal
education level across the board.
With out these standards, that we criticize, the students of
disadvantaged schools would really fall through the cracks. I am not
saying that they are effective by any means, but if they were enforced
and backed up with adequate economical and educational support. These
standards have a good purpose the next step is apply them to benefit ALL
students.
