Hello everyone! My name is Veronique Cooper. I currently
attend Prairie View A&M University, in hopes to become a great educator. I
am studying interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in early childhood-grade
6. I always knew that I wanted to work with children; growing up being the only
girl I have always had the spirit of nurturing people, so it didn’t come as a surprise
that I wanted to pursue the field of education. My professional goal as a
future educator is to be well prepared for my students. I plan to be knowledgeable
in all areas of content and PPR. My hopes are that I am a certified teacher by
or before December 2014. Being a professional educator means being well rounded,
it means going and teaching beyond the blackboard. I believe that going into
the field of education means being selfless, passionate and engaged. In the
process of my professional growth I want to water my students with knowledge
and watch them grow.
6 things to know before coming an educator.
Is there any grade that is closest to your heart? Do you want to teach at a suburban school or one in the city?
ReplyDeleteYes! I would love to stay between the grade levels of Pre-K and 2nd grade. I feel during this time frame is where students are most excited to learn and teachers are able to teach creatively with limited stipulations. I also love working with younger students!
DeleteI love your definition of what being a professional educator means to you! There are some people who don't understand that being an educator could mean sacrificing a lot (personal time, sleep, money, etc.). A lack of selflessness or passion can have students suffering the most.
ReplyDeleteI love your reason for wanting to be a teacher, I feel the exact same way. Question though how will you prepare to be fully certified by the end of the year?
ReplyDeleteI have heard that a new procedure in CUINs is that students must attempt an actual TExES exam as part of the course requirements? Is this true or just a rumor?
