Models and Mentors in My Life

My Models and Mentors

My Colleague	Displays my dream financial discipline
My College Teacher	Fuelled my learning curiosity and critical thinking

The type of role model I want to be for others

An educator who poses challenges ad questions to students to help them develop critical thinking

An educator who incorporates modern day technology to help students learn better with interest and enthusiasm

An educator who can show genuine compassion yet firmness in ensuring retention effectiveness

I’ve been dreaming about teaching Natural Sciences. As an educator, I would love to utilize technology  and promote student engagement to ensure retention. I plan to do the following:

1. I will encourage my students to utilize the internet to find for the recent most interesting science update to share to the class
2. I will make use of learning videos related to the lesson of the day that can catch their attention 

Who will be my education mentor? What would my ideal education mentor be like?
I can recall clearly how my college professor influenced the way I kick started  my learning curiosity until today. She taught us not to be dependent on one or few sources of information. It is encouraged to refer to various materials to get plenty of perspectives. She was not sticking to the course syllabus but at the end of the semester, she makes sure that we learn what we have to learn in her course. She was my Journalism 101 professor that fuelled my never ending passion to explore and learn continually regardless of my current profession and age. 

What would your ideal education mentor be like?

My ideal education mentor is someone who explores new avenues and tools for learning. She does not adhere to the traditional and old ways but rather grows along with the modern day technology and learning styles. My ideal education mentor is someone who knows she has a huge part on the learner’s character development and future outlook in life.
