Module 1- Motivation

What motivated me to enroll at GCU and pursue my degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE) is my goal of being an art teacher. I aspire to be more than an Assistant Teacher throughout my teaching career. I want to be the decision maker in my classroom I want to be the one to come up with the lessons, and I know I cannot do this without my degree. I want to be proud that I have completed this because my goal has been delayed due to my unexpected motherhood at the age of fourteen. I want my children to know that anything is possible if you work hard and study and always be open to learn.

This is one of many activities in the classroom that helps them to develop variety of different skills they need for everyday life and I get to be part of it. I understand that as their teacher I am a big influence on them and every moment of the time they spend in the school and I provide them with loving and positive environment. Every day, while they are away from their families, they get to spend a day filled with learning carefully planned fun activities, and I am very happy to be a part of that.

    Classroom Observation and Teacher Interview

    Mr. Devine: I believe that the role of a teacher in a child’s life is to help them reach their academic, social, and emotional potential. The manner in which this is done can vary significantly, and it is the teacher’s job to find out what strategies, methods, and interventions work best for each child. I believe that children learn best in positive, safe, and consistent environments, and that a teacher has been given a special role in each child’s life and should do their best to help succeed.…

    Statement of Goals- Early Childhood Education

    My main reason for applying for Early Childhood Education is because I love children. I love working with them. I come from a bigger family. I am the oldest out of five children. I would take care of them all from time to time when ever my parents would go out for a night. Sometimes my parents would leave overnight to go on a little vacation by themselves and I would watch my siblings overnight. I also use to babysit for other people around our community as I was growing up. As I got older and started to think about college, I knew that I wanted to attend a great school that would have a program for Education.…

    What Education Means to Me

    "Congratulations, you got the job of your dreams." Wouldn't this be a great way to start the beginning of one's day? I know that it would be for me. In reality it is highly unlikely for a employer to call or write you a letter stating these exact words. It is possible however, to feel as if they did. The right education into a field that a person loves is the key to never having to work a day in one' life. To be able to make a difference in other people's lives by helping them achieve their goals is very important to me. I wish to make a difference no matter how small. These are just a few of the many reasons why education is a vital necessity for myself.…
