My Contribution
My comprehensible approach to creating a sense of meaning and purpose, including contributing to society is teaching children in low income environments, it’s a difficult task but somebody has to do it. It takes more then just being a teacher. You have to have a passion for the profession as a whole. In low income areas the student face more challenges then students in middle to upper class areas and all students from low income areas are not faced with the same problems. One thing is that schools in those areas are usually way over crowded. There have lower achievement rates, inexperienced and lack of interest in teachers, poor leaders, lack of parent support and also because of there environment teachers have low expectation of them. Majority of the students would like to achieve something, make something out of themselves but there are a lot of hurdles in there way.
To improve this situation we need more experienced teachers which are not spread out equally in income areas meaning effective teachers need to be assigned to the more needed areas. Teachers need to be thought of as a valuable asset. Student should feel respected, understood, know that somebody do believe in them and not look down on because of where they come from. School need to provide more courses that would help student achieve their academic goals. I feel that once you build and strong relationship with student and parent it will improve the behavior achievement. In do this I will always have to reflect on my values honesty, understanding, commitment, creativity, respect, achievement, integrity, self - motivation and
