Communication is a vital part of a great learning environment. I believe that it is a teacher's job to stay in constant communication with their students, parents, faculty, and administration. One way a teacher could do this is to start a classroom blog. Here they can make posts about what is going on for the week, the main topics the students will be learning, and any notifications or school bulletins. A class blog will keep everyone informed. I believe that communication in the classroom is key also. I will always left students ask questions and go over concepts or directions that they are unclear about. Personally, I love blogs. They can be interactive and show creativity. Blogs have no age limit. I am going to encourage each of my students to blog!
About me...
My name is Julie Szteiter. I am currently a Junior at the University of South Alabama and major is Elementary Education.
I hope to be an art teacher one day so that I can inspire children to create beautiful artwork. I also want to give them confidence and self-assurance, like the many art teachers that I have had. I want to show every child that they have the potential to do great things, even if they don't think so. I want to become a teacher so that I can show every child that I come in contact with the love and respect they deserve, while teaching them skills that can last them a lifetime.

My Teaching Philosophy
Teachers have so much influence on many lives, they should always have high morals and display characteristics of professionalism. I have had some great experiences from teachers, and some bad experiences, but I have learned from both. The main thing I want for my classroom is to provide a safe environment for students to be comfortable to learn in. I hope that my future students don't hesitate to ask me any question and that they feel like that I am their confidant. I want to help children to be the best that they can be, while making sure that in my classroom everyone's hard work pays off the same. The top 6 character qualities or tools for learning I am going to use in my future classroom are respect, communication, cultural accuracy, SmartBoards, understanding, and a dedication to excellence.
