Abstract:
I believe all teachers should possess a lifelong desire to learn. I have demonstrated this desire through the pursuit of a Master’s degree. Students come into the classroom with certain needs, interests, and ability levels. Therefore, I need to constantly update and refine my skills in order to best serve student needs. I have also refined my writing by completing assignments and receiving feedback, developed my vocal technique through studying voice, and improved my teaching skills in practical teaching experiences throughout this degree. I know all of these skills will enhance the learning environment and experiences of future students.
