Professional Development

As a teacher, I will make it my aim to be a continual learner. Even though I'm in the position of "teacher," I realize that my own passion for learning is what will make the students want to learn, and I also know that they will teach me some things! When it comes to professional development in terms of getting my masters or other degrees, this is anther aspect of being a continual learner. Knowledge of subject matter has been said to be one of the factors in successful classroom management. As a teacher, I want to bring a passion for art to the classroom which involves seeking ways to expand my knowledge of the subject matter. I can see how getting a masters, especially if the school I worked at funded it, would be a highly beneficial and rewarding endeavor.
