Personal Statement of Teaching Cassandra McCullum, Ph. D.
“Teaching is not a profession: it’s a passion. Without passion for your subject and a desire for your students to learn and be the best in the world, then we have failed as a teacher and failure is not an option.” John F. Podojil. In my opinion, this quotation is very true. If you do not have the passion to teach your students what is right in the world and what makes them to be the best they can be, then you are not really teaching your students or you have failed and failure is not an option.” I want to not only teach my students important subject matter but be an inspiration to my students as well. I want to be the teacher that students will come back to in ten or fifteen years and say, “You have inspired me in more ways than one. Not only did you inspire me to be a better person, but you inspired me to do better academically as well.” This is when I know for sure that I have made a difference in a student’s life.
I have one goal for my teaching: helping students to think “outside of the box” independently and learn. This goal is as simple as it is illusive. The more experience I have as a teacher, the more I understand that there is no one-way of achieving my aim. Clearly, the proper focus of education is learning, not teaching; but I know that it is within a teacher's power-and thus it is the teacher's responsibility to create the conditions necessary to allow students to learn. How best to create these conditions is the question. Although doing so involves performance, it is not a performing art. Although it requires the rigor and systematic methodology of scientific inquiry, it is not a science. There is no algorithm for good teaching. I think that learning chemistry is a process that involves wonder and awe, a process that evokes an emotional response as well as an internal desire to want to learn. I encourage and inspire students to apply logic, reasoning as well as common sense as the approach to learning any subject matter. I instruct students from a mentor stand point as opposed to traditional teaching methods simplified to standing in front of the class room writing on the board. I lecture from the board using “chalk talk as well as implementing technology in the classroom as a learning tool. Learning tools such as smart technology (white boards), powerpoint presentations, videos, worksheets, quizzes, group discussions, and online learning material provided by the book vendor. I set standards and ask thought provoking questions. I involve the students in peer group study sessions within the class as well as problem solving sessions outside of class as a measure to allow students to be free spirited, creative, confident and thereby enjoy learning.
The above teaching methods and strategies flow out of an educational approach that appreciates and celebrates student diversity. I believe that reaching a student via the mode he or she most fruitfully engages with the world is a prerequisite for effective teaching. Finally, I recognize that I still have much to learn about teaching, but I am hopeful that my passion for learning and for remaining critical and rational is contagious, that it serves as an example and challenges students to challenge their inner self.
