4.) What made you choose teaching as a career? (And what do you think students gain from the education you provide?)
- My love of anthropology made me choose teaching as a career. I hope students leave my classes with an increased appreciation for diversity to think about the world a little differently.
- I have always been interested in history. I am able to form parallels between the past and present making history important to many students. -- Jeff Miller
- Education is the key to the world -- The more a person knows, the more they can function in this world. I try to "OPEN UP their world" as I educate them. I meet them where they are at!
- To work with children. Good career choice. Students gain knowledge in physical/health subjects and learn life-long lessons.
- I love learning in general and enjoy high school age students. I hope my students learn how to speak English correctly and develop self-confidence and a desire to continue learning.
- I was a coach, which led me to become a teacher. As a phys. ed. teacher, hopefully I provide an opportunity for inspiring lifelong fitness. -- Justin Gorham
- I always wanted to be a teacher to be able to work with students. I feel I offer a common sense approach to everything. -- Terry Villemure
- I foolishly thought that there would be enough time for family and career as a teacher -- so wrong!
- I was between jobs and math teachers were in demand. It's also very gratifying on those (rare) occasions when you reach a student or have an impact on them. Because I am not a career teacher, I think I bring a more realistic perspective to teaching them about the subject and life issues.
- I've always enjoyed working with people of all ages and have always done well in situations where individuals struggle and need assistance or guidance. I see each student as capable and never unreachable. Everyone deserves a quality education.
- Teaching is a profession in which I can use various skills, (the result of previous education). I like to introduce students to things that might be unfamiliar. I do try to get them interested in what I find interesting and exciting. I hope they will discover their own talent and interests.
- I chose teaching as a career because I love English and literature. It is the best job in the world because I get to share what I love with my students and sometimes even inspire them to love it too. -- Angela Balch
- I love my subject and wanted to share.
- I started teaching after 15 years in the technology services field. I realized that my strength and interest was less in the software itself and more in helping others learn it! The students in college-bound courses, I hope, get the foundation they need to be successful in chosen fields. For many in my lower levels, it is as much about learning to persevere, get along, and show up!
- Helping others to have the same joy of making music. Students (hopefully) gain awareness of what that joy can be both daily in rehearsals and in performance.
- There is nothing more important than preparing young people to lead productive, satisfied lives. I hope I have contributed to this. It is such cool world, and I try to help them appreciate and explore it. -- Leslie Blanding
- Originally because I had "taught" at a summer school. I try to encourage the development of knowledge and skills that will make my students independent and responsible adults. -- Cornelia Reisman
- I chose to teach because the profession spoke both to my personal interests and strengths, but more importantly, I teach because I wanted to pursue a career of service to others. I hope my students gain from my classes a sincere appreciation for world cultures, a sense of civic responsibility, solid communication skills, and an awareness of the geography of our world and their place in it.
