I will teach students in a way that is creative and excites them to learn by appealing to the natural curiosity of a child. I decided to become a teacher because I love learning. Learning academic skills along with artistic and social skills has shaped me into the well-rounded person I am today. School played an important role in developing that yearning for knowledge. Now, as I walk into my new role as an educator I believe I can give my students the light that is curiosity. Curiosity, the want to learn, understand, and process the world, is the key to a successful academic journey and overall life. Curiosity gives students motivation to reach their goals, persistence to push through hard times, confidence to surpass their expectations and create real change in the world. Prompting curiosity and a love for learning to specifically young children can set them up for a successful life. Teaching in a way that relates the subject topics to the child’s world increases interest in education, especially in the long term. A child’s world is almost a parallel universe to an adult, some things are the same and others are very different. Teaching children from an adult world can be only somewhat effective but teaching them from a child’s world can be life-changing. I plan on teaching the child’s world by exploring and researching child development, creating lesson plans to match that development, and understanding my class personally by learning their specific interests. Every class learns differently and a successful lesson in one class may be a total disaster in another and it is my job to find those differences. I plan on executing this plan by having my classroom by it being child-led lead and teacher-guided. I will ask the questions that help them find their answers and ask their questions. This way I can By having my classroom be tailored to each group of children, my students can effectively learn in a way they understand and enjoy and create better personal connections with me and their classmates. Curiosity-focused teaching also allows for appropriate accommodations for all students. When talking about accommodations in school, learning disabilities, and neurodivergence often come to mind however accessibility can help all children whether they possess those traits or not. For example, there are many learning styles visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. By offering information in all of those styles and focusing on the ones that are most effective in my class I can make learning more accessible. For example, I could put a picture of the water cycle on the board then explain, ask questions, and answer questions verbally then have the children create their own models or drawings of the cycle. Accessible learning helps children be successful in the short term but it also fuels their innate curiosity instead of snuffing it out. Some children may need more accommodations than others and that is perfectly normal. Those children deserve an education just like anyone else, the school and I must find ways to help them reach their potential. Throughout my college journey, I am and will be educating myself on how to teach accessibly to all of my students. I believe I can be a teacher that prompts curiosity in my classroom so all my students can shine that light throughout their lives and become the exceptional people they were born to be.
