I believe that teaching provides an opportunity for continual growth and learning. I want to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. Teaching is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It is full of challenges, responsibilities, excitement, wonder, and enjoyment. I believe that all people are capable of learning, if they have the proper motivation and direction from their instructors. It is my duty to see that all my students are being motivated. My students deserve my time and full attention in regard to their education. I want to create a classroom that is a safe learning environment for all. It is important to me that my students see me as someone they can approach, who is fair and nondiscriminatory. Class organization as well as a meaningful, applicable, and inviting content are key concepts when teaching in order to maintain interest in the subject matter. I also believe that high energy levels and a positive attitude from the instructor are fundamentals for a successful teaching-learning environment. How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in? I would help a student by doing the following: 1)Simple and sincere compliments. -I use words and phrases such as "Excelente!"; "Muy bien!"; "Buena pregunta!"; and "Interesante!" - I use applause when the student participates.
