Fostering a Student’s Passion for Learning by Tiana Visser I am interested in being an elementary school teacher. I like 2nd and 3rd grade students. They still like school
and have a passion for learning. They are also more independent than kindergarten and 1st graders. I also feel that I can make a change in the lives of younger students. The impression of school that students form in their first years follows them throughout the rest of their school years. If I can get them to like school and give them a sense of accomplishment, then I may help them succeed in school and in life. 2nd and 3rd grade are my target years for teaching, but I would love to teach any grade level or subject. I like many subjects, so teaching multiple subjects in elementary school is ideal for me. My special field of study is Literature and Writing. I hate the writing, but I love to read. Even though I hate writing, I know that it is essential in society and very important for students to master. Here are the California
content standards in which my students will have to master: http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/index.asp I want to give my students the tools they need to write and I want to give them the love of writing that I no longer have. I am studying writing so that I can pass my knowledge on to my students. I also want to pass on my love for reading. Here is an interactive website that I can have my students go to that can help them obtain the skills they need in Language Arts: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/skills_2nd.htm#lang A Prospective Teacher by Tiana Visser I will 
love being a teacher. I love helping children and I like to watch them learn new things. I like learning about new things and would love to teach those knew things to my students. I have always had an interest in learning any subject, but I like Reading and History the most out of all subjects. I will enjoy teaching these things to students. I do not currently work in a school setting. I have volunteered to be a helper with second and third graders during summer school. I have also observed over 40 hours in different schools, classes, and grade levels. Recently I have been volunteering to help children in the first grade. I am now in my first semester of the Integrated Credential Program at California State University San Marcos. I have 2 more years before receiving my teaching credential. Currently I work full time and go to school full time. I also volunteer at a local school. I am dedicated to becoming a teacher. I look forward to student teaching. I hope that I can become the best teacher possible. I also hope that my students leave my class loving school and loving knowledge as much as I do!
A Passion To Teach by Hilda Barga 
My name is Hilda Barga. I want to teach at the elementary level. I would like to start my teaching career as a 1st or 2ND grade teacher. I feel more comfortable working with
younger children. While doing my school observations, I confirmed that the children at the elementary level made me feel more comfortable and welcomed. I would like to teach English learners and have some diversity in my classrooms. I hope to learn as much from the children as they will learn from me. The content standards I will follow are at this website: http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/index.asp An Introduction by Hilda Barga I am in
terested in many things, but most importantly, I am interested in education. I want to learn as much as I can before entering the classrooms as a teacher. I want to be prepared for whatever challenges a new teacher may encounter. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and would like to use this as a teaching tool in whatever way that I can. I would like to have a multicultural class so that they can see in me someone that they can relate to since my background is multicultural. One of the reasons that I am going into teaching is because, when I was a child, I did not have any teachers that I could relate to or that were from my Latino background. If I could of had someone to relate to or a teacher who I believed could better understand me, by knowing my language or my culture, I think I would of done much better in school and would of been more excited to learn. I want to become a teacher because I do not think there are enough minority teachers in public schools today. Children today come mostly from minority families and come with many different cultures and values. I believe, as a teacher with a diverse background, I will have some advantage with the diversity in school children today. English Learners - Specialized Programs (CA Dept of Education)
