entre regional des metiers de l' ensiegnement et de la formation

Good afternoon, my name is ezzitouny yassine , I am 25 years old , born and raised
in Casablanca city . I got my baccalaureate degree in 2010 from badr high school. i
got my BA in English literature from the university of Hassan 2 in 2013 . my
research paper was not in the field of literature , but it is related to the teaching
profession , it`s the art of public speaking . Since teachers are actually public
speakers, because they speak to a group of people. That is why , they must
improve and horn their public speaking skills . after graduation I took a year off
due to some problems at home which did not help me focus on the exams , so I
had to let go . However, I worked as private teacher, i homeschooled students of
different ages , of different levels .and did not have students book , so I used my
laptop I taught with interchange which is course books which are four-level series for
adult and young-adult learners of English from the beginning to the high-intermediate they are
published by Cambridge university .they are used in different classrooms around
the world , especially north America ,and here in American language center in
Casablanca ,they are great source of teaching materials and published by
Cambridge university . they were very helpful to me , and I am looking forward to
use some of their materials when I become a teacher .
I love English, it is worldwide spoken language , English is lingua franca of the world .

I love the social aspect of high school, Teaching students in high school means that I am going back to that
community of young people who are still trying to discover themselves figure out how they fit in this world . I am not
a doctor, a lawyer,. But instead, I can teach and inspire the next generation of students who will become our future
engineers, , doctors, lawyers, and inventors i want to make a change in our society .because I myself have sat in
many classrooms and before many teachers that I considered to be some of the best teachers. As a high school
student I was inspired by a wonderful English teacher named MR.s haskal .she was a role model for me since then i
have been working very hard to follow her lead.
Upon becoming a high school teacher I will influence the lives of my students on a daily basis. I will affect their development, both
personally and academically.

. High School students need mentors to fulfill every facet of their lives..

. Becoming a High School teacher can be one of the most rewarding and difficult ventures you will ever undertake. High School
students need mentors to fulfill every facet of their lives..

They need high school teachers to help direct their energies in positive directions. Their teachers need to be able to help them learn
the valuable skills necessary for success after high school either in vocational settings or for further education. A quality high school
teacher needs to be able to teach the same skills in a variety of different ways in order to accomodate every style of learner
.

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and
stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually,
physically, and socially. It is my desire as a educator to help students meet their
fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe,
supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements
that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher
acting as a guide, (2) allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her
learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all people.

The first thing that strikes me about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and
changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view
on things in life. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some say education is
the process of gaining information about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very different. They are right. But
then again, information cannot be converted into knowledge without education. Education makes us capable of interpreting things,
among other things. It is not just about lessons in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. One thing I wish I can do is, to provide
education for all: no child left behind and change the world for good!!

10. SOCIETY

We live in an ever progressing and developing society. Education in this society is not only a demarcation of the
wealthy and poor but also of the uneducated and educated. Your reputation and social image is dependent on your
educational qualifications.

WISDOM

Education is often compared with wisdom. A person who is educated has wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom to know
the correct and knowledge to reason it. Wisdom acts as the stepping stone during a persons growth. A matured
person is often considered to have more wisdom than a teenager because he/she has faced the cons of life and come
out with experience that make them smart, careful and aware. These things can be taught to you in school/ colleges or
by your parents or by personal experience but when we lack the urge to learn it is then that are downfall starts.

believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and
stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually,
physically, and socially. It is my desire as a educator to help students meet their
fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe,
supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements
that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher
acting as a guide, (2) allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her
learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all people.
When the teacher's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than
acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge
is met as they learn to find answers to their questions. For students to construct

knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves and practice
skills in authentic situations. Providing students access to hands-on activities
and allowing adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson
being studied creates an opportunity for individual discovery and construction
of knowledge to occur.
Equally important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things
that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. Developing a
curriculum around student interests fosters intrinsic motivation and stimulates
the passion to learn. One way to take learning in a direction relevant to student
interest is to invite student dialogue about the lessons and units of study. Given
the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for
much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself. When
students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to work hard and
master the skills necessary to reach their goals.
Helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and
their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas and a judicious
approach to discipline. When the voice of each student is heard, and
environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. Class
meetings are one way to encourage such dialogue. I believe children have
greater respect for their teachers, their peers, and the lessons presented when
they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. In setting fair and
consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students
are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn they learn to respect
themselves, others, and their environment.
For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth.
One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as
I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for
compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about
working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to
not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of
and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always
strive to be the best educator that I can be

Philosophy Statement

I believe the children are our future...

I believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and
special to the world. I will help children to develop their potential by believing
in them as capable individuals. I will assist children in discovering who they
are, so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas. I have
a vision of a world where people learn to respect, accept, and embrace the
differences between us, as the core of what makes life so fascinating.
Teach them well and let them lead the way...
Every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only
in abilities, but also in learning styles. My role as a teacher is to give children
the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge. To
accomplish this goal, I will teach to the needs of each child so that all learners
can feel capable and successful. I will present curriculum that involves the
interests of the children and makes learning relevant to life. I will incorporate
themes, integrated units, projects, group work, individual work, and hands-on
learning in order to make children active learners. Finally, I will tie learning
into the world community to help children become caring and active members
of society.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride...
My classroom will be a caring, safe, and equitable environment where each
child can blossom and grow. I will allow children to become responsible
members of our classroom community by using strategies such as class
meetings, positive discipline, and democratic principles. In showing children
how to become responsible for themselves as well as their own learning, I am
giving them the tools to become successful in life, to believe in themselves, and
to love themselves.
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be...
Teaching is a lifelong learning process of learning about new philosophies and
new strategies, learning from the parents and community, learning from
colleagues, and especially learning from the children. Children have taught me
to open my mind and my heart to the joys, the innocence, and the diversity of
ideas in the world. Because of this, I will never forget how to smile with the
new, cherish the old, and laugh with the children.

I believe education is a very important part of life and a necessity for success in the real world.

It was a good chance for me to teach teenagers aged 18 years old and I found that it's important to understand the psychology of this age otherwise
you won't be able to reach them and convince them of the teaching content you want to deliver. You should have a sense of humour as well as a firm
character. Although some people say that teaching kids is harder, I will answer them by saying: No, I find an opposite picture: Teaching teenagers is
harder. What do you think?

Have you set a code of behaviour in the classroom?

This should be set with the students, where possible so they know the consequences of their behaviour should it not be socially acceptable
to the rest of the group or to you. I always have this code of behaviour on the board or on the wall on a big sheet of paper. Five or six key
points are sufficient, e.g. I will work hard to learn the language. I sometimes just have to point to it to remind students of their decision, and
this brings the student back on line... Also the teacher needs to add his/her code of behaviour too, what the teacher will do for the students,
e.g. be patient, never yell, I will work hard to help you learn the language...etc.

Are the students really understanding you or are they missing most of what you are saying?
Very often bad behaviour patterns are because students do not understand what is being taught to them, and they find no purpose for the
noise coming from the teacher. There is one way to demotivate students and that is for them to not understand what is really going on. Here
is a clue to bad behaviour - 75% of bad behaviour is accredited to academic failure - in other words, they have missed vital clues in the
learning process.Make sure your students are having fun. This does not mean games where students are over active. Fast moving games
are not necessarily the answer to discipline. In fact they often exacerbate the problem.

What type of troublemaker are they?

Attention Seekers - do they show off to get the rest of the class laughing?
STRATEGY: Ignore minor behaviours but set a limit on what you call a minor infringement. Be FIRM and CONSISTENT; when behaviour is
good, give attention to that behaviour - e.g. good, well done.
Power seekers - do they want to put one over you all the time?
STRATEGY: Don't argue or fight with the student; remain fair and firm about the behaviour; as 'the One-Minute Manager' said, catch them
out doing something good.
Revenge seekers - act defiant, e.g. a student who won't move to another section of the class when you think his or her behaviour is not
acceptable.
STRATEGY: Most of all, don't act hurt - students see that as a weakness because they have had a reaction; convince the student that he or
she is liked - find the student doing something good and smile at and commend that good behaviour.
Withdrawn or depressed - gives up easily and then sits in silence.
STRATEGY: Ignore failures, but counsel regularly. When counselling, always, but always give good news first - e.g. I like what you did here,
then counsel with the bad behaviour. Lastly, finish with some good news - how the behaviour can be addressed and then arrive at a solution.
Most of all be FAIR and CONSISTENT.

Now some tips for the Teacher:

Change students around

I have my bad behavers sit in the front of the class. This way I can move towards them more easily, maybe touch them lightly on the shoulder
if they are getting out of hand and pause near them. Make eye contact as you leave.

Use soft reprimands - Like the One-Minute Manager

Find time to praise the good work the student does. If the bad behaviour is minor - ignore whereever possible. Don't yell. Remain silent until
the group settles down. If you have some students on-side, those who do know what is going on, they will settle the rest of the group down.
Let them be the ones to say 'shush'. Sometimes I simply clap hands a couple of times and the group comes back on line. Then I speak softly,
not with a loud voice. This has a calming effect on the whole class.

Encourage even your worst student

When they are behaving well, catch them doing that. 'Well done'. 'Good work'. It is amazing how soon you get them on-side if they think you
are finding them out doing good work. Counsel when you can and dont make it always a bad behavioural thing. I often speak to a student
after class and say how well I think they are doing, sometimes in front of their friends, because it motivates the rest of the group too.

Never ball out a student out in class

Just at a convenient time, as you are passing the student say you want to see that student after class - quietly. It is amazing how the
behaviour changes from that moment on. At the meeting, find out the cause of the behaviour. Explain that it is not helping the student to
behave in this way, and explain the consequences of the behaviour - there is a written code which all the students agreed to at the beginning
of the course - it should be ever present. And there should be a code of behaviour which the school has decided on - that persistent
behaviour eventually means expulsion.

Don't allow yelling at the teacher in class when the student knows something
Miss, Miss Miss or Sir, Sir, Sir...and standing up and coming to the teacher all the time is another disruptive behaviour. It can be VERY noisy
if all the students know the answer and they are yelling at you and you don't want a rush of students coming to you to show you their work.
They soon learn the discipline of putting their hand up when a response is needed or that you will look at their work at an appropriate time.
This makes for a more productive classroom, and students feel great when they are chosen to answer and you feel better because you don't
have a headache from the noise.

Move around in the proximity of the student when the behaviour is persistent
Not in a disciplinary way, rather in the guise of helping them with the problem they have. Maybe they don't understand. Move towards them,
see if you can help them, then when you have calmed the student, walk away with a smile and a well done.
A final message:

Be INSISTENT
Be CONSISTENT
Be PERSISTENT
But most of all be FAIR
