I am a future educator. As a future educator, there are many questions I ask myself regarding my teaching. These can be considered "The Big Questions." By investigating my own answers to these questions, I hope to grow as a professor and as a person.
Looking through the big questions posed by Professor Leslie Wilson, I initially had a difficult time deciding which questions I wanted to consider for this project. I wanted to dig deeper into my thinking, and because of this I chose the following questions to answer throughout this semester:
1. 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?
2. As a future teacher, what do you see as your main weakness (or weaknesses) and how will you work on improving this (these)?
3. Name a serious challenge you may face as a teacher, and some strategies you would use to correct, amend, accommodate mitigate, or fix this challenge.
4. Name and describe some selected teaching strategies you might use to enhance the learning experiences of your students?
5. How do you plan on putting your teaching philosophy into practice?
6. What makes you marketable as a teacher? Why should a district hire you over someone else?
7. What is an important part of your professional training where you feel you need more training?
I may add or eliminate one or more of these questions as I begin to answer them. Check back soon to see what I have to say...
