the chance to receive an education.

My Professional Beliefs
(Principles that guide your approach to the teaching profession)
My love and passionate for children has guided to teaching profession. God has given me
conformation on the calling of my life which is to help children. I find myself always
surrounded by children even in my community. I really knew that teaching needed to be
my profession when I found myself being an assistant to help children gain the
knowledge of something they did not understand. My heart warms to witness a student
to finally gain the knowledge to understand how to read a sentence or solve a math
problem. This gives me the impression that I am striving towards the right profession
that will help a child in need of receiving their education.

My Plan for Involving Families and Other Partners in my Classroom
I plan to create a welcoming environment for my parents with open communication because I strongly
believe that education is the key. I will provide the parents with materials with ways to improve their
child’s study skills or the learning process in the different academic subjects. As a future teacher, I plan
to incorporate the parents with the specific skill or lesson by giving them the chance to come into the
classroom and assistant. I plan to invite any community partners to share any available resources at
open house or in the parent-teacher conferences. I also plan to connect the students and their families
with community resources that will benefit the child’s education.
