Paraprofessional In Elementary School

As a paraprofessional in an elementary school, I recognize how imperative it is for teachers to encourage and motivate students. I want to motivate my students while challenging them through their assignments. My strategy for accomplishing this goal is to develop their social and interaction skills by allowing students to work independently and in groups. In other words, given the tools of new information linked with prior knowledge promotes creativity and problem solving skills. Furthermore, I want to teach students how to use their strengths and weaknesses to their advantage by allowing them to practice their creativity to develop their learning styles. This task is full of responsibilities, challenges, and maybe even frustrations. However,
it is also full of excitement, astonishment, and joy. Also, I want to create an environment that is safe and judgment free for all students. If students do not feel safe in a classroom, it has a negative impact on their learning as well as their physical and emotional psyche. Therefore, classroom organization is a key factor when teaching. An organized classroom enhances the learning environment. As a result, I want to set up my room so that it achieves a warm feeling; that means that students need to be able to see, hear instruction, and the teacher need to be able to easily monitor the students. As a future educator, I believe my philosophy and teaching styles may adjust throughout my teaching profession and I want to remain open to proposals and developments that will enhance all students’ educational experience.
