"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior
to your former self." Ernest Hemmingway
There is a necessity to encourage and stimulate the growth of students, particularly in the
Social Studies discipline, to allow them to develop into active and participating citizens in, not
just the municipal level, but also in the national and global contexts. The Education system as a
whole has a vital role in this development, and this is never more present than it is with teachers.
It is the duty of a teacher to encourage and provide the knowledge and skills that students require
when striving for success, and provide guidance that allows students to continue along the right
path.
A students experiences in the school setting can positively impact how they continue
through their education and develop as adults.
As a teacher, one must continue their own professional growth and learning in order to,
not only progress their own education, but to also set an example for students to look up to. By
continuing to find relevance and meaning in what they teach they are able to set the standard, and
create better and more meaningful learning opportunities for students.
In order for me to continue my own learning opportunities and teach to the high standard
which is expected of me, including the KSAs and the new Teaching Quality Standard, I have set
forth two goals that I wish to address in my current intern position.
KSAs: 1. Understanding the legislated, moral, and ethical framework that I work under.
2. Understanding the subject discipline I teach. 3. Translate the curriculum content and
objectives into meaningful learning. 4. Gather and use information about students
learning needs and progress. 5. Establish and maintain partnerships. 6. Engage in ongoing
professional development to enhance teaching and learning. 7. Apply technology to meet
students needs.
Calendar: Dec. 22nd, 2017 By this date, I wish to be able to naturally, authentically,
and effectively implement a variety of differentiation in multiple classroom settings,
which will last throughout my teaching career.
