Intern Espoused Platform Conference
Partner Interview
Why did you choose to become a teacher?
I didn’t really remember choosing to be a teacher; I have always just wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in Elementary school. I just looked at my teacher and I was like oh that what I want to do. So it was never really a choice.
Five years after your students have left your classroom, what do you want them to say about you as a person?
I would really just want them to say that they miss me.
About your teaching?
For teaching I would just want them to say that my lessons were engaging and that they liked what I was teaching them.
About the learning that occurred during their time with you?
Like I said that it was engaging and that they enjoyed what they were learning and they actually got something out of it. Hopefully that it cares on to their following years and that they can reference the things that I taught them.
Why should students learn the content that you teach?
I don’t want to say its what I am being told to teach them but at the same time it kind of exactly that. Because its important it’s the building blocks of their life.
How will you know that you have taught a successful lesson?
This is something that I want to learn from the residency program , so I don’t really have an answer for this, but maybe just how they react to the lesson.
How do you know when your students have learned what you hoped to convey?
Same thing really...
It's okay to say your not sure.
Same thing really , I am not sure. I don’t know.
If I were a new student in your classroom and asked you, “What do you expect from me?” how would you respond?
I would tell them that I have rules and procedures in place [that they will have to learn] and that they respect everyone else in the everyone else in the classroom because it is a community setting.
If I were a parent of a new student and asked you to describe the learning environment in your classroom, how would you respond?
Like I just said that it is a community setting and that all of the children are going to be sharing with each other. That there is going be lots of group work and lots of activates together.
What analogy would you use to describe what you hope to be as a teacher?
Teaching is a learning experience. Everyday is going to be something different and your not going to know what your walking into even if you have the perfect lesson plan planed out its never going to be exactly how you planned it to be.
