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.

DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE

My classroom will be dedicated to excellence. Excellence to me isn't straight A's. It is understanding what had been taught and applying it to the world. Excellence is trying your best, even if your best will never be an A. My students will know that I wont except anything other that their best. I want my students to leave my class having a great work ethic and a great attitude towards any kind of work. A dedication to excellence means setting a standard, or something t strive for everyday.
