2- Statement of Personal Goals 
As a teacher I hope to become someone who can impart knowledge in its true form to my students. I want to build student trust and create an environment of positive learning for them. A positive learning environment helps students participate and interact in class. I want them to feel that learning is fun and not a burden. When students feel learning a burden they tend to lose motivation. On the other hand, finding learning fun makes the whole journey of education an enjoyable process. I hope to be able to give my students undivided attention and the necessary motivation to help them become successful in their future. I also hope to become a teacher who uses innovative ways to teach students in a manner that engages them both physically and mentally so that they can never forget their learning experience. 
3- Philosophy of Teaching
Every individual is born unique. They carry this uniqueness with them as they grow. It is the duty of teachers to use this uniqueness in children to enhance their learning experience and promote them in the fields that is naturally attractive to them. As a teacher, I hope to recognize my students talents and promote them. I hope to become someone who can help them accept themselves for who they are and proudly express and represent themselves. I hope to use a variety of teaching methods to enhance my students both behavioural and academic learning. Before making them successful in their careers, I hope to make them successful human beings
4- Self-Assessment of Skills and Values
The following is an assessment of my skills and values

8. Innovator 1 234 5
9.Negotiator 1 2 3 4 5
10.Coach 1 2 3 4 5
The five core values that I believe are most important to my teaching skills are-
Communicator, Manager, Motivator, Planner and Organizer.
Communication is very important in teaching since students need to be communicated properly with so that they can understand as well as explain themselves and their needs
Management is necessary since dealing with several kids at one time can be overwhelming and must be regulated with proper management
Motivation is important since motivated teachers are the ones who can continue to work in a stressful environment as well as motivate the children to learn and grow well
Planning is extremely important since teaching environments can be very chaotic. Without proper plans teaching effectively is impossible.
Similarly, organizing is necessary for plans to be executed properly and teaching to be imparted effectively to all students.
