Thoughts on becoming a teacher.....

For those who don't know, I am a third year (junior) student in the University of New Orleans College of Education. I plan to graduate in two years with a degree in Elementary Education.

I have taught in many settings. I volunteered for three years, two of which I spent teaching religion to first graders. I have also worked at many day care centers. I have been a teaching assisstant, and am now a teacher, with my own room.

I decided to be a teacher for many reasons. The most important being that I want to make a difference in some child's life. I absolutely love kids. I feel it is important for anyone going into teaching to have these two qualities.

As one of its goals, the UNO College of Education wants to produce "reflective teachers." Teachers who think about what they are teaching, who they are teaching, and how they are doing: with the students, the materials and the methods.

In the following pages, you will find lesson plans I create, papers I write and links I find helpful and interesting. Throughout this section of my site, you will find my views on education and schools today.
