My personality is more introverted than extroverted and more observant than intuitive. I am more feeling than thinking and more judging than prospecting. I am also more assertive than turbulent. I believe my results show that I am confident in what I believe and don't tend to go back and forth on my beliefs. Overall, I was not surprised with my results and actually took the test three times to see if my role would change at all.
I got the role of a defender for my personality test. I do believe it was pretty accurate because I feel like I'm a mix between an introverted and extroverted person. Also, as a future teacher I believe my characteristics will be extremely helpful. For instance, I let things go easily and as a teacher I think this is an important trait to have. Altogether, my role described me as a person and helped me learn where my strengths and weaknesses are. For example, I am a very empathetic and caring person. However, one of my biggest weaknesses is being too lenient. I will definitely be working on this trait during my internship year. These characteristics are that of a teacher and I hope they will help me in my future classroom.

As a teacher Mr. Appleton focuses his time on preparing lectures and making sure the students are taking notes. After this is done students are given a quiz on the readings and a study sheet to help them with their exam. Mr. Appleton's classroom focuses heavily on the material and information. Mrs. Baker has a different teaching philosophy that focuses heavily on engagement and activities. For instance, the students can bring in food from Rome and dress up as people from the past. Also, her class focuses on how the information can relate to outside ideas like architecture, language, and laws. This is different from Mr. Appleton who has his student focus on just the information and not the overarching themes of the class. Finally, Ms. Cassell is a very organized teacher who has formed her lessons based on essential questions and organization of topics. As a teacher she focuses her students on goal setting and thinking like a historian.
Differentiated instruction is a way for teachers to educate many different types of learners. That is, using different teacher methods in order for the students to stay focus and engaged. For example, incorporating activities and higher order thinking skills are examples of differentiated instruction. Differentiation is not placing students into groups based on ability and thinking. This is because differentiation is meant to help every student by focusing on different aspects of learning so that all of the students can succeed. Social Responsibility is the idea that it is the job of the people to act in a way that will eventually help society. This takes courage because you have to tell students to be concerned about everyone and that the outcome of the world is a part of their job too. The process that I believe is the most important and impacting is for students to grow up in a caring environment. Whether this be in the classroom or at home. I believe this because in order for children to care about society as a whole they need to grow up as a caring and respectful person.
Different people do disagree about what values are more important and what to pursue. For instance, the US is more focused on the individual and pursuing a good career for yourself. This is in contrast with other areas of the world which focus more on the whole. Both options work if society has rules and structures. Also, a big impact is how a person is raised and whether or not they believe in their impact on society. As a future teacher I will make sure that my students are aware of their importance within their community and the world as a whole. Young children need reassurance of their value and want to feel accepted by adults in their life. Not every student will receive this reassurance at home, so teachers must step in to help the future generation. |
