Chapter 13: Improving Teachers and Schools, and School Reform

Before I graduate, I'd like to have lots of experience in the classroom to put on my resume. I feel like that is really the most valuable thing a teacher can have. To be an educator is really more of a mindset to learn than anything else, and the best way to demonstrate a mindset is to put it to use in the field.

In my first five years of teaching, I'd like to continue my own learning, in and out of the classroom. I will attend whatever workshops are available and applicable, and I will also begin work on a master's degree. All of these things will play a part in keeping me sharp and relevant to the current educational climate. In terms of what I'll do to change the school I work at, I will try to encourage the use of technology and the further individualization of learning for students.
