Commitment to Professional Development
Teachers make the biggest impression on people throughout their lives. Teachers can teach personal, social, educational, and emotional skills. Teachers become students’ second moms, friends, security, safety, nurse, cook, and sometimes even their hero. I have had several teachers in my own life that have influenced me and directed the paths I have chosen in my life. The personal and emotional growth I have experienced over the past four years as a teacher educator candidate has lent itself to me feeling like a member of the teaching profession. I feel that this is evident by the workshops I have attended, also by the experience and knowledge I have gained in my observation placements. Both of these have helped me to become an active part of a real world classroom.
