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.
SMARTBOARDS
I love the Smartboard and so do children! A Smartboard provides an interactive learning experience for children of all ages. Smartboards are white boards that are touch sensitive and connect to the internet. There are free learning games found on the internet specifically intended for the use with a Smartboard. I visited Brazier Elementary in Eight Mile, Alabama and their classrooms had Smartboard technology. I could tell that the children counted down the hours until it was time to use it. I can't wait to use one in my classroom. They are way better than chalkboards!!!
