My biggest goal as a teacher is to provide my students with the best learning environment and educational experience. I want my students to know that I love what I do and will work hard to provide them with the best educational experience. I want to continue growing as a teacher, so I can motivate and engage my students to learn. I hope my students have a thirst for learning, so they can be the BEST that they can be. The field of education is constantly changing and technology is playing a significant role in student learning. With education evolving rapidly, I wanted to pursue my ED.S. in Instructional Technology to keep up with the newest trends. This program opened my eyes to methods and strategies for implementing technology to help revolutionize student learning. I can confidently say that I have grown professional and comfortable tackling any challenges I face with utilizing technology.
As I mentioned in my introduction, one of my professional goals is to continue using the knowledge I learned from this program to help more students establish lifelong fitness goals and healthy habits. I want to help make changes to better meet the needs of each of my students. My goal is to actively pursue and grow as a teacher by taking a role in my school district's Virtual Academy. The Virtual Academy is offered to any high school student in the county who chooses to do online physical education and health classes. This is a challenge that I hope to have an opportunity to partake in. I want to continue using the skills and knowledge I learned to provide a more student-centered learning environment that promotes student success and engagement.
In several years, I would like to continue my schooling journey by pursuing my Doctorate. After completing this program, I forgot how much I love to learn. In the future, I would love to teach students at the collegiate level in physical education courses. I have supervised student teachers and find it a rewarding experience to be a part of their learning journey. Seeing how much the student grows throughout their teaching experience is always exciting. I would love to help shape their educational experience by being a mentor to them.
