 * media type="custom" key="8862718"This is my third semester at Chatham, and I'm hoping to graduate in Fall 2011 with Special and Elementary Education certifications. I have my bachelor's degree in Art Education, and I'm very passionate about teaching.**

**The following images are a bulletin display that I have created in my classroom during my art student teaching experience. It is one of my favorite quotes by Bob Ross, who said "We don't make mistakes here, we have happy accidents." I then put famous inventions on the display that were invented by accident. I did this to encourage the students to experiment rather than fear making mistakes; and if they do, it's not always a bad thing.**



Here is a portion of my teaching philosophy:

At a very young age, I always knew that I wanted to become a teacher. I love showing people how to complete tasks. When I see that somebody has learned something new, the feeling is very gratifying. Many teachers that I’ve had throughout my educational career were very inspiring, and I wanted to do the same for my future students. Contrary to having superior educators, I also had teachers that were very condescending. Teachers like these have also driven me to become an educator, because I wanted to do a better job for my own students.
