Chapter 13: Improving Teachers and Schools, and School Reform

I hope to add practicum and student teaching to my resume. I would also like to add confidence to my skills and qualifications. I need a little more confidence in my own knowledge and become more out going, when conversing with students. Lastly I hope to become certified in at least two states, which would not look bad on my resume.


In the first 5 years I would like to become a Highly qualified Teacher in English, by reading frequently, going to workshops and taking extra classes in my area of study. I would like to be available before and after school hours to help students, if they did not understand the material that was taught in class.I would also like to be a fun and innovative teacher always reforming my approach to teaching based on the students needs and interests.
