Me in a nutshell...

Hello! My name is Jennifer! I am from Fairmont West Virginia. I was born in Canton, Ohio and my family and I moved here when I was 1 year old. I would love to teach students on a college level. I would like to teach business, education, even communications. I want to be able to teach more than one subject area. I would also not mind to teach students in kindergarden. Although,  my main goal is to teach on a college level. I also want to teach how to learn/teach in a 21st century classroom as well. I belive children learn in 3 differnt ways: Visual, auditory, kinesthetsic. A teacher in today's world, needs to be able to be versatile and teach in all 3 ways. I believe everyday is new in terms of learning and absorbing.  First and foremost, I believe a student has to feel comfortable with their teacher.  They learn by being actively involved and having a lot of social participation. Relating new information to prior knowledge is a great learning tool as well. Hands-on experiments, observations, and doing projects is a great way to keep the students involved and interested. Assigning students to work in groups and to assume the roles of a coach or teacher is a good way to keep the students socially involved. To be able to work with eachother is a great thing. Students can improve their language and communication skills by particinpating in debates as well.
