Background

About Michael Zalewski

Teaching young, impressionable students is a never ending job. As a teacher, I will need to be constantly learning new and innovative ideas to help better my students’ performance. I want to construct a classroom that promotes equality and I aim to provide my students with the best chance to succeed. I am a firm believer that everyone has their own diverse way of learning and I want to ensure I give each of my students an equal opportunity to learn to the best of their abilities. One of my favorite quotes derives from the immortalized Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders, he said and believed in a “Commitment to Excellence.” It’s a quote he coached, managed, and lived his life by. I will incorporate this attitude and belief into my classroom and my student’s efforts. I want to do more than educate my students on course content, I want to provide each of my students with important life skills in order for them to achieve anything they set their mind to. Overall, I hope that I can become an inspiring role model for my students, as some of my teachers have been for me. All it takes is one person to connect with a student and help him or her become a highly motivated, determined individual to succeed.
