About me: Hello! My name is Elizabeth Jensen. Im a juniorish at Old Dominion University. I was born and raised in Hampton, Virginia. My father was one of the very few people in the Navy that never had to move around! I graduated from Kecoughtan High School in 2006 where i planned to attend ODU along with literally half of my senior class. I am an Elementary Education major K-6 grade. I did teacher cadet my senior year of highschool and fell in love with the profession.

Education Philosophy I have always been interested in teaching since I was a little girl. I love the idea of helping to mold the youth of America into the best they can be. I believe that every child has something special to bring to the world and the right teacher will know exactly how to help them do it. Every child is different, no two people are the same, and it is our jobs as teachers to help that seed grow into a flower.

I hope to have a great respect from my students in the class room. I would like to be there friend but as well as there mentor because i feel that helps them relate on so many levels. By the end of the year I hope to be able to know every little thing possible about each of my students. I know it is sometimes hard to get parental involvement but i would like to make myself freely available to anyone that is willing to be involved.

My teaching environment will be very friendly yet firm. I would like to do a mix of lectures as well as group work to get alot of student involvement in the class. When working with my students I want to interact with them and get to know the best learning environments for each student. Technology has become such a huge part of the world so students knowing the basics that I am able to teach them will be important.

In elementary school every subject is vital. I will treat each with the utmost respect and teach them all to the best of my ability.
