I've always wanted to be an elementary school teacher,

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.000
middle school teacher,

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
a high school science teacher.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.000

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
I believe that students should choose Western to major in education

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
because we have a long-standing tradition of being the best in the field and

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
we graduate candidates that are fully prepared to enter their career as teacher.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
My time at Western really taught me how to look at standard and objectives, 

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000
work with curriculum and also really taught me how to develop my own 

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000
teaching philosophy.  What I think is important and being able to value 

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.000
and understand how to teach the whole child.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.000
This next finger is setting, say setting..."setting".

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.000
A lot of the stuff I did today such as being able to tell them what their objective was

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000
and have them understand what they were going to be able to do because of what we were learning

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.000
was something we practiced a lot

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.000
when lesson planning at Western.  As well as the

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:60.000
hands-on, give them something to do,

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000
being able to the puppet so they can go re-tell the story on their own.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Being able to have that practice in a way that was engaging and interactive

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000
is also a big practice that I learned.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.000

When you're looking to major in education here at Western, 

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
your choices could be early childhood/elementary school, 

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000
or you could also major in a specific endorsement area

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.000
for middle or high school.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Today in my classroom, we were describing how the British empire took over most of the world

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.000
and the impact that's going to leave on history and in today's world.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
The number one thing that WOU has taught me

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.000
is how to be reflective in my teaching.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.000
And if I have a hard day, what I can do to make it better.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.000
I would definitely recommend Western Oregon University for teachers because

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.000
it provides us with a world-wide prospective.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.000
It's really a community at Western Oregon and all of the professors actually care about you.

who are currently in the field, various strategies they can use for classroom management.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.000
Here at Western Oregon University in a classroom like this

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.000
what you can expect is to be working with a diverse set of students

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.000
and some of the best faculty in the field of education.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000

it has prepared me for the professional world

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.000
