Start with your WHY: Why are you pursuing this degree? What do you want the outcome to be? How are you
going to work toward making that outcome possible? **Is the outcome directly related to your WHY?
WHY: I want to pursue education and create a space for students to have engaging learning and a space of welcoming. My teachers growing up

always made me feel seen, heard, and loved by them and so I want to do that with my students because I know how it affected my education in

a positive way. Without them, I would not be here at Butler, so I believe that teachers can change the course of a child’s life

What: I want students to leave my classroom knowing that they will have a teacher who will always support them and that they were engaged

in the material. I want the future of our world to know that our education system is there to support them and that they will take all of what

they have learned to change the world.

How:_ I will work to find lessons that are engaging and work personally on inclusivity and equity for all my students. It is connected to my why

because I want my students to find it. Place of belonging in my classroom
