About Me

Welcome to my  Eportfolio! I’ve been passionate about being a teacher my whole life, and a professional since 2000. here are many skills and attributes that one must possess to be an outstanding educator. To be an outstanding teacher one must seek growth in their students, challenging them to push themselves past what they already know with confidence. Giving students encouragement when they feel discouraged about the objective at hand is vital in the classroom. Although these are just two of the many important attributes a teacher must possess I would like to talk to you further about the skills of an effective teacher. In the following paragraphs you learn about the three most important skills that I believe are essential in a classroom; classroom management, students engaged in cooperative learning, and the implementation of the Multiple Intelligence Theory.
Classroom management is critical to promote effective teaching while allowing the students a structured environment for active learning. I feel this skill is essential when commanding a classroom and in result will enhance the organizational flow throughout each school day. Forming a joint democracy allows students to own their classroom creating an environment where students feel in control. This can easily be done through whole-class creation of expectations. For example, creating classroom rules with the entire class gives students a sense of empowerment thus feeling more at liberty to follow the rules ‘they’ created. Moreover, students need to understand what is expected of them and remain held to the standards set. The ability to successfully create an environment where students know their expectations starts from the first days of school.
