Essay Questions
DO NOT use the tab key in this section!
|Briefly describe your experiences with children and/or teens in and out of the school environment. |
|I have always enjoyed working with children and helping them set and achieve their goals. In high school, I was a Sunday school teacher and worked with children |
|ages three to eight. In college, I have worked with children with disabilities and with ESL students for my TE 320 class. I also taught 2nd grade in the summer |
|program for Lexington public schools. Teaching 2nd grade gave me confidence to teach and prepared me for student teaching. |
|What are some of the motivating factors for your career choice of teaching? (family members, former teachers, etc.) |
|The teacher that I remember the most is my Elementary ESL teacher Mrs. Rowan. She had a great impact on me because she really showed interest in me. Not only did|
|she get to know me as a person, but she also got to know about my family and my culture. She made me feel important. She is one of the reasons why I chose this |
|career, because I believe there needs to be more teachers like her who care about the students as individuals. I want to show the same care for my students, and |
|I am passionate about the career I have chosen. |
| |
| |
|Briefly describe your competencies in technology. |
|I have grown up using computers and all kinds of technology. I am competent using Microsoft Office, Apple computers, and PC’s. I am not an expert, but I can |
|handle myself, and I am not afraid to learn new things. I am a fast learner, and the technological world fascinates me. |
|What do you feel are the most important components in a successful classroom? How do you see yourself working with students of diverse backgrounds? |
|One of the most important components in a successful classroom is for the teacher to be passionate about teaching. If there is no passion for this career, then |
|there will not be a good climate in the classroom. Another extremely important component is classroom management. If there is no classroom management, it is |
|impossible for students to learn. It is important to let students know what is expected from them and to give them the tools necessary to succeed. |
| |
|Working with students of diverse backgrounds is something that I love to do. I love learning about different cultures and customs. As a teacher, I would make sure|
|I get to know my students. I would make it a task to get to know their beliefs and what background knowledge they have. I think it is very important to get know |
|every single student in the classroom. |
| |
|List any honors, organizations, or extra-curricular activities during college and high school. |
|During my high school years, I was a Sunday school teacher and enjoyed it so much. During my college years, for my Teacher Education classes, I have worked with |
|Special education kids and have gone to different schools to help. I also do a lot of free interpreting for my Hispanic community. |
|List previous work experiences. |
|I worked as a Para educator helping the ESL students in North Platte public Schools. I also taught 2nd grade during summer camp at Lexington Public Schools. |
|These experiences have been probably the most important and rewarding experiences I have had. I really enjoyed them, and they made me want to teach even more. |

|What do you hope to gain from your student teaching experience? |
|From my student teaching experience I want to gain an overview of all the aspects of teaching in a classroom. I want to learn more about classroom management, |
|which I believe is most important. I want to learn different strategies that teachers use in order to have well managed classes. I want to learn how to deal with|
|diversity in a classroom. I also want to learn strategies to increase parent involvement in their children’s education. |
I understand that a copy of this information, along with a copy of my transcripts, will be sent to the appropriate school administrator where I am seeking placement, my cooperating teacher, and my university supervisor.
