My goal as a teacher

As a teacher I have set forth some goals that I would like to attain along the way. My first goal is to get my students to a point where they want to learn and crave to know the information. I hope to obtain this in ways in which they enjoy learning. Again using some of the technology that I have discussed, and learning to relate to their world and put things on their level. Another goal is to keep things interesting and fun. I feel if I can accomplish this it will help me out with my first goal. I always enjoyed learning through experience, not just reading and reciting back the information or writing it on a paper. I think they will remember the information given to them if they have enjoyed the experience in which they comprehended the material. I really enjoy music and I would love to somehow use music and art in the classroom to help learn material.
My next goal is a something I have written about as well and that is staying on top of the technology advances that are available for teaching and learning in the classroom. I really think the children learn best through computer related material because it is their generation. They know their way around a computer better then most adults. It is again putting at their level in which they enjoy learning and doing. I think the advancements will not only help them be better students but will help me be a better educator. I will continue to learn which will make me want to continue to teach and educate with the new information that I have attained.
My last two goals are probably the two that are the most important to me. I want to make a difference in my students life. Both as a teacher but also as a mentor and someone that they can look up to as a role model. I feel that so many children are lost out there and many families and friends have given up on them. I don't want any child to feel less then or that they are not smart or important. I hope I can keep a positive outlook even the days that I know are going to be hard. I think it is human nature to want to be accepted and even more so in the life of a teenager. I just want to help them make the right decisions as they are starting down the road to adulthood to take on the rest of their lives. I hope they would look back and remember me as someone who made a difference in their lives! My last goal is pretty simple and to the point but states such importance. It is that I want to always love my Job! I think if I stick to the rest of the rest of my goals that this one will fall into place.
