This assignment, the teacher profile, documents some of my experiences with field work I. After taking many field notes during observation, I was able to construct a profile of my mentor teacher, her teaching style, and some of the things that I saw while in her classroom.
I have included this piece in Professionalism because I feel that it portrays my ability to maintain a professional relationship with someone and also use them as a tool for learning. I was able to use her experiences with teaching to my own advantage by asking her questions and confiding in her my own fears about teaching. She reinforced my reasons for wanting to teach and reassured me about my decision. I became friendly with her while also maintaining a mutual level of respect and keeping in mind that she was my authority.
Building professional relationships is going to be an extremely important part of my future. This teacher profile conveys my aptitude for learning from other people as well as building relationships that will last and remain beneficial to me in the future. My mentor teacher mentioned that she would love to have me as her student teacher next year and I take this as a notion that she appreciated my level of professionalism and genuinely enjoyed having me in her classroom.
