The Author (Thats Me)

Before I get started on myself, I just want to thank you for clicking on my username and wanting to learn more about your fellow classmate or your current student. Now unto the subject matter, me. My name is Jayrald Feria. As of June 27th this year (2008) I have become of alchohol age but yet still haven't touched the stuff. I have lived in Virginia Beach all my life and graduated from Salem High School with a much better GPA then what I currently have. My leisurely activities include playing tennis, watching television, playing xbox-360, excercising at planet fitness, oh and playing xbox-360. My favorite television show is The Office. I hate these current gas prices, then again who doesn't, and take a 30 minute commute to ODU which I am currently in my fourth year of. My major is History with a teacher licensure and I am pursuing secondary education. I'm expecting to graduate by spring 2010. Keep your fingers crossed.

Teaching Philosophy

I personally feel that when a student wakes up in the morning they shouldn't have to dread going to school. I mean lets face it, students don't really look forward to going to school anyways but let's try and help them enjoy it while they are there. I feel that teachers should add more creativity into making the subject matter that is to be taught more interesting and enjoyable. For example, not making a one and a half hour class just about reading text and doing worksheets but perhaps reading the necessary text and playing a creative game to enforce what they have learned. This method would probably benefit the students in making class just a little more interesting. Not only that but maybe they'll stay awake during class as well.
