About June Jaydip

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself, to light the way for others"-Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, translated from Turkish As a child I always wondered what I am I going to become as I grow up. My science teacher was a role model for me and I always loved her for her enthusiasm and the way she catered to the needs of different types of students and made the teaching learning process enjoyable and fun. She stood apart from the rest of the teachers and was unique. She loved all children equally no matter who they were. I always strive to be like her. I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a teacher to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. My students are my main priority and I am aware that each of them has different level of proficiency in English language. Even though I was a science teacher I always had the opportunity to teach English. I believe that by creating a student-centered learning, my students will be able to take charge of their own learning with little assistance from the teacher. This will inculcate a sense of responsibility in them in terms of achieving their learning goal. As a teacher, one of my roles would be to facilitate them throughout the learning process by providing information and giving useful guidelines in order for them to achieve their learning target. As an educator and facilitator, I have the utmost confidence that every individual is able to strive for success in their academic performance. In order to realize that, I should try my best to promote growth by employing creativity, stressing the importance of education as well as giving my students the freedom to think and discover knowledge.(contd)
