Hello! My name is Alyssa Toetz and I am an Elementary Middle Education major at Alverno College with a support in English Language Arts. Student teaching is something I am really looking forward to. All of my previous experiences have been meaningful in my development as a future teacher. My Alverno education has provided me with the knowledge and fundamental skills needed in order to be an effective teacher. As a future educator, I believe in quality education and providing community based environments so student learning is successful. I have a passion for teaching and I cannot wait to continue to spread my passion to my students. In my future classroom, students will feel safe, have choices, and take responsibility for their learning. It will be okay to make mistakes and my students and I will learn from them. My goal when beginning my own teaching practice is to plan for varied learning approaches and integrate differentiation to meet all of my students needs. As I teach my students, I want their growth for learning to expand to outside the classroom, I want to create lifelong learners in my students who see the purpose and value of education.
