Hello this is Jyaeg001.

About Me:

I am a home-schooled, high school graduate. I currently have an A.S. from Tidewater Community College and am pursuing a B.A. in Art Education. I am the youngest of three. I have two older brothers, and I have lived in the state of Virginia for the past nine years, which is a nice change from moving around. I have also lived in Washington, California, West Virginia, and Florida. I work part-time at the Disney Store, and I enjoy drawing, painting, sewing, knitting, walking, and music.

Philosophy of Teaching:

My area that I am going to teach in is art, and for now, my philosophy of teaching is that it should stimulate students in a new way. Students have numerous assignments that involve the memorizing and reading of endless text, but usually that information does not stay with them for a long period of time. By engaging students in a way of learning that is different from all their other classes, they might retain the knowledge over the course of their life.

I believe that a good teacher is a teacher who cares about his or her students. A good teacher finds that connection with a student that will help them learn. In my future classroom, there will be many student to student interactions and student to teacher interactions because evaluation, praise, and criticism of art are a vital process of growth.
