About Me:

Hello, my name is Amber Mills. I am 19 years old, and from Alexandria, VA. I am a sophmore planning on teaching spanish. A few of my hobbies are watching TV and hanging with friends. Some of my favorite shows are House, Nip Tuck, Law & Order SVU & CI, America's Next Top Model, My Wife and Kids, and Spongebob Squarepants. I like trying new things and experiencing different cultures. I also like cooking and baking. I've been trying to cook my favorite foods from scratch and I have been successful in a few. So, that's just a little about me....

My Educational Philosophy:

I believe a good teacher cares about their students.

I think group assignments are better than lectures.

Computers should be used in classrooms. They are basically a must in the "real" world, so students should be taught how to use them early.

I think self-reviews and peer-reviews help students with their work.

I think the purpose of schools are to get us ready for working. When we start working, the companies pay more when you have been in school longer.

In elementary schools we should focus on reading and creativity, but in secondary school the students should have the option to focus on college prep or vocational programs.

Also, I believe we should have a national cirriculum so that colleges wouldn't have to worry about whether or not their prospective students are ready or not. And if a student moves from one state to another, they won't be behind.
