My passion is to teach Information technology.

As an teacher of CSEC Information

Technology, I am aware that the majority of my students would not share my infatuation with
this subject as they are not tech savy students. Additionally, this might be the one and only
time, they would ever take a information technology class. Thus, keeping this in mind, my
main objectives for their learning experiences are: to foster an appreciation for the
remarkable field of Information Technology; to provide essential knowledge and invaluable
tools which will be applicable to the students’ future careers; and to enhance self-awareness
and understanding of the world around them as well their role in it. I believe effective
teaching is the outcome of a life-long process and selfless devotion. I am dedicated to
continuous personal growth and improvement of my teaching practices in the best service of
my students. In my opinion exemplary teachers never cease to enhance their teaching skills
through a process of self-examination that includes constructive feedback from both students
and colleagues. Additionally, I believe incorporating and experimenting with new
instructional approaches enriches the learning environment, as does staying current with the
latest empirical research. Thus, I make attending teaching workshop and conferences a high
priority. In addition to the importance of my personal growth as a teacher, I outline a common
set of course expectations and objectives below. Critical thinking. John F. Kennedy said: “Too
often we enjoy the comfort of our opinion without the discomfort of thought.” A high priority
in all of my classes is to develop students’ critical thinking skills as I believe they are
incredibly valuable for both their personal and professional development. I think that students
come to class with their own personal experiences, perspectives, understandings and
assumptions which may foster a lack of appreciation and understanding for the science of
psychology. Thus, I challenge their current perspectives and provide them with awareness of
our own cognitive biases and distortions in order to become more competent at drawing valid
and objective inferences. I often tell my students that information technology is everywhere
in our day-to-day lives. Together we ponder questions such as “Why role can technology play
in our daily lives? Fostering such discussions enhances their curiosity for the subject which I
then supplement with lessons to conceptualize their ideas and demonstrate how various
concepts in the IT syllabus provide answers to these questions. As a former athlete, a current
teacher, I firmly believe in setting high standards for my students. As the saying goes, “shoot
for the moon and even if you miss, you will still be among the stars.” As a teacher, a IT
professional and a researcher, it is imperative that I recognize this phenomenon and not only
address it in class but also provide the students with an accurate and objective view of what
actually the science of information technology entails I believe students excel in an
environment in which expectations of performance are clear and attainable, and at the same
time, sufficiently high to present real challenge. When the student is ready to face this
challenge, I am there, approachable, available and sincerely invested in their success. I
complement my high expectations with study aids and frequent opportunities to provide help
via study sessions, online chat reviews, and web discussion forums. My ultimate goal for my
students is their personal and professional development which can be achieved my setting
high standards, creating challenging situations and providing guidance and support so they
can overcome them and learn from this experience. retain in better.
To capture their interest and attention, I discuss the concepts and show them the connection
with real life issues. I describe fundamental principles to increase the likelihood that a given
perspective will resonate with individual students. I invite them to explore use their life
experiences while learning the course material so they can y classroom activities regularly
involve a variety of elements. My extreme organization and preparedness allows me to
incorporate techniques that often require a great deal of preparation, such as interactive class
demonstrations, group discussion, presentations, and Jeopardy-style review sessions. Using a
combination of teaching strategies and evaluation techniques provides the meaningful
engagement that will prepare students for a life in an increasingly complex and diverse
society. I firmly support the notion that as a result of learning, the person is transformed –
more enlightened, more empowered, more enriched which ultimately is my goal for all my
students. Social support and collaborative learning process. An African proverb says that:
“Alone we go faster, but together we go further.” As a teacher, I believe that collaborative
learning process between the students and the instructor is both effective and beneficial in
achieving the ultimate goal of personal and professional development. Together we do go
further and reach higher, more challenging goals. My responsibility as an instructor is not
only to provide knowledge, but also support and care. My main focus are the students. I strive
to be flexible, emphatic, and aware of the diversity and uniqueness of each and every one of
them. I foster a conversational atmosphere in which students feel comfortable sharing their
comments and questions. As part of a supportive framework, students are encouraged to view
one another as colleagues, partners, and peers, never as rivals. I would rather students
compete against ignorance rather than each other. Further, I believe teachers should provide
enough emotional support to give students the courage to pursue their greatest ambitions. In
addition to my academic advising duties, I am rewarded by the opportunity to serve as a role
model, inspiring students to become confident and hardworking scholars. My teaching and
coaching experiences have shown that once students are engaged and excited about the
material, they naturally begin think critically, proactively ask questions, and search for the
relevance on their own. I firmly believe that through the collaborative learning process, the
students become active participants in their education. I foster this process by engaging and
empowering the students. Passion is a unique feeling that not every person has the
opportunity to experience. I feel truly blessed to have found mine as I cannot imagine a more
fulfilling life than that of a teacher. Transmitting genuine enthusiasm for the remarkable field
of information technology comes naturally to me, as does forming a personal connection
with my students. Even though I am early in my teaching career, I am confident that this
framework represents a set of expectations, objectives and goals that I can achieve and
improve as I am gaining additional experience. I am confident that my skills as an instructor
will be constantly evolving. As a teacher who is passionate about teaching information
technology, I hope to inspire my students to not simply pass the class but to embrace all the
incredible benefits information technology has to offer for personal and professional
development. Also, I hope that through psychology, my students will enhance their self
awareness encouraging them to adopt a positive and confident outlook for themselves and the
world. Being a teacher is a profoundly challenging and rewarding job. I wake
