My goals as a teacher are to promote critical thinking, encourage mastery of the subject that I teach and to aid students in finding their voices in the classroom. My students will be assessed in my classroom using both formative assessments and summative assessments. By reflecting on my teaching I will be able to address areas where I feel weak as an educator.

As a teacher my goals are to promote critical thinking, encourage
mastery of the subject that I teach and to aid students in finding their voices in the classroom. I believe that every individual on this planet requires critical thinking skills. Without critical thinking skills we would not be able to evolve as humans. Critical thinking skills allow us to make informed and innovative decisions that will help to push us forward. Additionally it is extremely important to me that my students actively work towards mastering the subject of English. Most of us need English to communicate with one another and it is my goal as a teacher to give my students the tools that they will need to effectively and confidently communicate their ideas to the rest of the world. Lastly, I believe that it is my job as a teacher to help my students find their voices in an academic setting. It is often easy for a student to let louder voices drown theirs out but I want my students to know every single voice is valuable and important; even the quiet ones. I will achieve my goals through discussion, group work, and the creation of written products. Through the use of discussion my students will be able to harness their voices and use them alongside their peers. By using group work, students will be able to work together to tackle problems while strengthening their critical thinking skills. Lastly, by creating written products, my students will be able to work towards mastering the subject area by experimenting with their writing and participating in the analysis of literature. I will assess my students through using alternative assessments such as projects, papers, presentations, and discussion. Students will be assessed in my classroom using both formative assessments and summative assessments. Students will be assessed formatively while they work through the instructional process while learning is still occurring. Summative assessments will be used when students create final products of their learning such as final projects or papers. When assessing these products I will be looking for mastery of skills and concepts. As a teacher it is important to always be working on your teaching skills. I will improve my teaching by evaluating my skills on a weekly basis. I will also set goals for each week and strive to achieve those goals by the weeks end. By reflecting on my teaching I will be able to address areas where I feel weak as an educator and will be able to put a plan in place to strengthen those areas. Teaching is a profession of collaboration with both colleagues and students. It is a profession of sharing ideas and using those shared ideas to tackle problems as a team. My classroom will be a collaborative space filled with rigorous discussion and teamwork. It will be a place where literature is dissected and works of writing are built from the ground up. It will be a space of creation and never of
destruction. But perhaps most importantly, my classroom will be a
