Philosophy Of Childhood Education

As long as I could remember I have always loved working with children. I began working with children in high school when I helped coach an equestrian team. It was not until my sophomore year of college that I realized I wanted to become an elementary school teacher. After I spent a semester as a practicum student in a first grade classroom I realized that teaching was my life calling. Following my graduation, I dove into graduate school to further study childhood education. After completing my schooling, I accepted a position at a Title 1 elementary school in my home city. After a year of teaching at this school I have realized in order to grow as an educator, I must be challenged in another county.
