The purpose of
education is to help students reach their full potential. Education is responsible for preparing
students for life. Students need
education to become productive citizens that contribute to society. Education
must be ever-changing, all-encompassing, and applicable to all students’
lives. There are many contributing
factors to consider when ensuring that education is successful. The student, parents, teachers,
administration, and community must each do their part in order for education to
achieve its purpose.
The role of the students
in their education is to be willing to learn.
All students can achieve their individual goals, as long as they are
willing to do the work and listen.
Collaboration and communication are necessary throughout our lives. Students must be held accountable for their
education and their behavior. It is the
responsibility of the students to come prepared to learn, grow, and work. Students should be allowed to explore their
own interests, yet also be able to meet the expectations of others.
As an educator, it
is my responsibility to guide, motivate, and prepare students for life. In my classroom, I strive to meet the needs
of each child and help them reach their full potential. As a teacher, I want to encourage students explore,
experiment, and discover. It is my goal
to create a community of learners that have the confidence and skills necessary
to be independent thinkers and leaders.
It is also my duty to help parents understand how important education is
to their child and how to help them achieve.
In order to fulfill
my responsibilities as an educator, I must differentiate, help student develop
social skills, and to incorporate 21st century skills. Technology allows me to do that and
more. The use of technology in the
classroom allows me to engage students, [provide remediation, challenge, asses, and teach
students how to use social media responsibly.
By exposing the students to current devices and software, they will feel
more prepared and confident in their higher education or the workforce.
