My
name is Laura Jane Avant and I am 20 years old. I currently
attend Valdosta State
University, as a
junior. I am majoring in interrelated special education, which means I
am majoring in both early
childhood and special education.
I was born in Roswell Georgia
and have lived there my whole life. I
graduated from Alan C. Pope
High School in 2006. I have been living in
Valdosta for almost 3 years now and enjoying the warm weather and being
able to live somewhere different.I plan to
graduate with both of my degrees, one in early childhood and my masters
in special
education, in May 2011. I would like to move to Charleston, South
Carolina to be closer to my family. There are many wonderful
schools I have looked into working at and hope to someday be able to be
a special education teacher in a first grade classroom.
When
I look back at my educational
career, I can clearly remember teachers that put allot of time and
effort into not only teaching me, but also loving me as a child and
truly having my best interest at heart. Then I had teachers that did
not really put as much effort that was needed into the children and in
return I left their classrooms with little gained knowledge and not
really wanting to do much with my school career. I feel that it is the
teachers responsibility to make sure that before a student leaves their
classroom they have gained a wealth of knowledge in a loving, caring
environment. Teachers play a large role in molding children, especially
when working with such a young age group.
There are many websites that are great for
teachers. One that I have really enjoyed is Carl's Corner. Another website
that is really helpful is Georgia
Department of Education website. All of these websites are user
friendly and will help when planning a lesson. They have great tips for
any type of learner. My favorite out of these websites though is the
Georgia Department of Education website, because it has all of the
grade levels and their standards , where they can easily be accessed.
