Initial Teaching Statement Outline

 Education begins in the classroom and at home. The teacher helps guide the students to

become the leaders of the future. A teacher role is to motivate, guide, and be a role model in

their educational road. In the classroom observations I have made recently I have learned that

there is way more to teaching then to just give lessons and to classroom management. The goal

is to go past lesson planning and to give knowledge in a way that a student can never forget.

Been a teacher has a lot of jobs. My expectations are very high for myself, I want to be

able to teach at all the student needs. My goal is to have a diverse classroom where all the

students feel safe and not afraid to ask questions. The school I end up working at will become a

priority for me. A place I hope to make a change and make the school overall improve in all

areas. Making the community involved should be great part in helping the students achieve

more. They should be more informed and involved in their student activities, education, and

school events. It will help the students see that the parents and family care about them.

My mission is to be a dedicated teacher and give my 100% with my students, parents,

and school. Doing a lot of hands on work I think will definitely make the students more to

achieve in the classroom. Making class projects that include different cultures, so all the

students can participate. Put all the projects in the wall to display the students work, so they

feel like a part of their culture is in their home. Helping students with different disabilities by
having them participate more and having students help each other so no students is left

behind. Letting the students who are advanced help other students who are struggling.

In conclusion, I believe that as a teacher you can make a difference in the world.

Throughout my educational road I have had many teachers who have made a change in my life

and influenced me to be a better person. That is exactly what I wish to accomplish. They have

motivated me to be a better person in school and out of school. There are many children who

really need the support from a teacher, to be able to influence is a magical feeling. Teachers

may not get paid a lot of money, but it is a rewarding job. My promise as an educator is to

never leave a student behind, to be involved, share all my knowledge, and to be the best

teacher the student will always remember. Students to say, “I remember my teacher Ms.

Munoz, she was a great teacher,” that is going to be a wonderful feeling.
