I Live To Be A Future Educator

The PPST has taught us that there are standards that teachers should know to be able to achieve quality performance, improve student learning outcomes, and provide quality education that is inclusive of all learners. Future educators need commitment, patience, and hard effort to obtain these qualities, but if we set our minds to it, we will succeed.

I, as a future educator, aspire to be someone who doesn’t dogmatically spoon-feed knowledge and values to the learners. I value an inclusive classroom design in which I am more of a facilitator than a dictator and see how my students flourish working on their own or in groups. The way I can be recognized as a true leader in education who initiates collaboration and puts the interests of the students first

There are stages we need to progress through in the teaching profession, where you start as a beginner teacher until you reach the potential of becoming a distinguished one. While I am accomplishing my journey, I would like my students to remember me as someone innovative and committed to my duty as a teacher. My mission is to motivate my students to learn and realize their full potential via the use of diverse approaches that excite their creativity and morality.

To work towards this aspiration, I should abide by the laws that expect me to perform and deliver well in my field of teaching. I should never be afraid to experiment with new teaching methods in order to improve student learning. Not only that, I should aim for an inclusive classroom design so that I can reach my students more and see them from a broader perspective.

The Noble Vocation of Teaching: Inspiring Minds and Shaping Societies

What profession do you admire most and why? In contemplating the question of which profession I admire most, my thoughts race through a kaleidoscope of diverse occupations, each deserving of its own admiration and acclaim. However, if I were to distill my admiration into a singular essence, it would be for the noble calling of teaching. As my mind explores the vast landscape of professions…

Thinking again about how many disabled people end up getting shunted into art/craft work because like. You can technically do it. Sometimes. Yeah you make a pittance at best and are almost certainly going to make your physical health worse by pushing yourself to get things done, but what else are you gonna do? You're too sick for anyone to hire you. You're "not sick enough" to qualify for benefits. Just devote every scrap of time and energy you have to a chronically underpaid, low-prestige, incredibly labor-intensive industry. A few people manage to make it work with luck and help and the right skills. Many people don't. Everyone gets pressured to monetize their hobbies, but it's especially insidious if you're disabled because any tiny thing you manage to accomplish to bring yourself joy gets twisted into proof that you should somehow be able to work.

Ida pendant

Ida Manson is Constantine's ex

that ended badly and she created magical distancing pendant and a silencing spell that prevents him from talking about her

When Justice League Dark sends Constantine to Amity Park, he can't even enter the city

he sighs, how is he going to be able to explain this without mentioning ida

when I'm a respected professor on water politics I'll live in constant fear my students will figure out my long abandoned formula one tumblr

can we get some more love for teachers please. Because we don't talk enough about how much they change your fucking life.

I could talk for hours about the things my music or drama teachers have said to me, things that have fundamentally changed the way I view myself for the better

Sure, the passion I have for performing and creating is mine, but I swear it would have died if they didn't make sure it lived on

Legal mandates in the teaching profession: a personal perspective

We cannot deny that in the teaching profession, there are instances where the teacher or student gets violated of their rights, and because we sometimes lack knowledge about the legal bases in the teaching profession, we tend to take our roles in the classroom for granted. It’s true that some of the teachers abuse their power and become dictators in the classroom; for some students, they also tend to mistreat their teachers. As a result of improving awareness of the legal foundations of the teaching profession, misdemeanors will be reduced, and as future educators, we will learn that we are protected and empowered by these regulations.

Through the past few weeks of discussion, we have come to understand why it is important for us future educators to understand that there are laws to be followed in our teaching profession. This is intended to instruct us on how to appropriately connect with our pupils, considering that we interact with them on a daily basis. So, it tells us that even inside a classroom, we are still citizens that are governed by a variety of laws and regulations. Not only that, if we abide by these laws, we can maintain a peaceful and conducive learning environment for our students. This means that we can help mold the knowledge, talents, and attitudes of our students so that they can make generous contributions to the community.

Lastly, with the knowledge we have about the legal bases of our teaching profession, we can be armed with the right attitude, value, and skill that guides us to do the right thing and create a harmonious atmosphere for our students.

one thing that really intrigued me about this book i read for class was a discussion of how pay for ministers/priests/pastors has progressively gone down over the course of the 20th century when you adjust for inflation/in terms of how it relates to the average salary and particularly the average salary for professionals with advanced degrees (which those whose went to seminary or divinity school would be, though ofc not all religious leaders attend graduate school as part of ordination depending on the denomination). and there was a lot of discussion about how the ministry has gone from being seen as a peer of doctors and lawyers in status if not in pay during a time period where very few people attended to college to really getting left behind socioeconomically for the vast majority of ministers compared to their educational peers and their position being seen more as a higher calling than as a career that needs to be compensated so the person can support themselves and potentially their children.

and it definitely made me think of the numerous other "helping" professions that are sort of treated similarly in public discourse and often in pay and the interesting thing is that while I can definitely see parallels to professions like social work or teaching, those careers are very heavily female and i think that is a huge factor in how they're treated/compensated, while the ministry is still overwhelmingly male (even as mainline protestant congregations have ordained women for decades). obviously there's another element wrt religious ministry in terms of christian theology's condemnation of wealth which doesn't directly influence for instance teacher compensation in the same way but much to think about and i do think there are some interesting parallels there because ministry is the only "helping profession" i can think of that is overwhelmingly male.

So for some reason, I thought I would not have to do specialty-specific research to match pulm/crit, and that I could get away with exclusively having medical education scholarly projects. This was probably dumb of me, but I am nevertheless really unhappy to find out I was wrong. I just hate research man. I love science, I love digging into the literature and coming up with good questions and synthesizing information, but I hate performing analysis myself. I especially hate churning out shitty chart reviews and case reports just to pack my resume, and the thought of having to keep doing that during residency makes me wanna throw up. The vast majority of research done by physicians is utter trash (we do not have the time or training to complete meaningful research on our own most of the time!), it doesn’t improve physicians’ scientific literacy, it is just chasing prestige. I hate it. Please please let me work on a project that is actually meaningful.
