I am known to be quite an outgoing and fun individual. My goal in teaching is to make the environment warm, comfortable and fun while also being able to help students succeed academically. by having a more welcoming environment where students are comfortable, they are more likely to engage in activities and retain information. I have the ability to remain patient, because I know this is new to these students and that English cannot be learned overnight. Many kids could become frustrated while trying to learn a new language which can lead to them acting out. If that were to occur, I have the ability to de-escalate the situation. Following that, I feel that if a student were to cause a disruption I would prefer to pull them aside quietly, or ask to meet after class to discuss the situation. Embarrassing a student in front of his/her peers will not only make them less motivated them but break their confidence. With that being said, a strength of mine would be how I approach situations. Another strength of mine is the ability to adapt, both inside and outside the classroom. Having said that, the content lessons could change depending on where the students are when it comes to understanding and retaining information. I am able to read the room and shift to an alternative if the lesson is too advanced. One of my goals is to make an immersive classroom environment where students can enjoy learning, whether it be through games or group work. This could help the students gain more confidence and feel more comfortable engaging. I am a huge people person, I love talking and getting to know others and their culture, beliefs, personality, etc. So, I find it is a strength to be able to communicate not only with students but parents, coworkers, etc. I am someone who is organized, this is important because it is vital I know what I am teaching and how to present it in order for it to be beneficial to the students.
