As a child and even still to this day I dislike school. Sitting in class for hours just listening to a teacher talk is probably one of my least favorite things. This is probably due to the fact that I can't sit still and I would much rather be moving and playing. This is one reason I want to be a physical education teacher. I want to help students enjoy what I enjoy and learn how to be physically fit.
Since beginning this education 250 class it has made me think about the methods teachers of mine have used in the past and think about how they made me feel. Unfortunately I think I have had more bad teachers than good ones in my school career. This determines me to be an even better teacher someday.
By taking this education class I hope to learn different teaching styles so that I may be a good teacher to all students. Already from just the first two classes we have had I can tell that this teaching thing is going be harder than expected. However, it doesn't scare me but excites me.
The NCTCS requires all teachers to have a broad base of knowledge on many subjects which I believe is a good plan. Having well rounded teachers is one of the best plans for the schools. Even though I want to be a P.E. teacher I still think it is important for me to be well educated so that I can also have the respect of the students and also of the teachers I work with.
