So what we're going to do today...I had a high school teacher that I had for three years
who was very passionate about what she did, and she always encouraged us to find the real
world connections and I always wanted to be that person that inspired students to love
what they do, love math or love science. The option was for me to go back and get my graduate
degree in education in order to be a certified teacher. The parabola...Tigers Teach is a
program that allows STEM majors to be certified and effective teachers. My first day as a
student teacher, we were in an elementary school and I had a third grade class and it
was very chaotic, I was very nervous. It's very gratifying to see the students pay attention
to you and to really make the connections between what they did and what you're telling
them about the material. I think Tigers Teach has really prepared me for my job, because
we got to get into the classrooms from the very beginning at elementary school to middle
and high school and we got to see all different levels of how students interact with one another
and really got to have that hands-on experience that most first-year teachers don't get to
have. The derivative of this line that sloped up...If you're very serious about being a
teacher and really making a difference in a STEM field, I really think Tigers Teach
is your best option, because it not only prepares you for being a teacher, but also it prepares
you for your STEM field.
