I always had this feeling that would be a
teacher when I grew up.
It's really exciting because I'm basically making my dream come true.
In high school I was told to pick a career that you would enjoy waking up in the morning
and going to and I always thought I'd want to work with kids.
I knew I wanted to do early childhood, I wanted to do something close to home so I decided
to apply to Northern Essex.
I like to see kids like on the edge of their seat wanting to learn.
I feel that I can jump right in with them and kind of be a kid myself again.
The kids at that level are more willing and grateful to be at school.
They don't see it as work just yet.
The class sizes were small is very hands-on at Northern Essex
and it prepared me for transferring to Fitchburg State.
Taking their courses as well as being in the field.
A lot of the classes here they coincided with our Field Placement 1 & 2 which you go out
into a school setting and you do observations, you implement lesson plans, you actually get
to work with the kids more one-on-one.
I got to go into an integrated classroom that had kids with special needs which shows them
how to work together and then because it's such a great job at allowing them to not focus
on the disability but to work as a team and focus on learning it's been my favorite part
because I find so would get that experience from both the special education in our regular
teaching classroom.
Part of teaching is not just knowing what you're teaching it's also knowing the students.
I like that it shows you what you're going to be dealing with.
Being able to experience new things like Quarrybrook.
It really gets kids outdoors and learning new things.
I really enjoyed Expressive Learning.
We sang in class, we did different skits, we prepared a circle time activity and I just
remember taking her course and then coming to work and
implementing what I learned rightaway.
The class that I'm in right now taking the time to go over how to teach English.
Trying to teach somebody how to read- that's where the real magic happens.
The faculty are amazing here.
They're so friendly, they go out of their way to help you. I found it to be
a very nurturing community.
I don't think I would be as successful if I didn't come to Northern Essex first to get a foundation
and to really get a thorough understanding what college is all about.
It's an amazing program you have to be open to learning new things then you have to be
open to getting out of your comfort zone.
This semester taking my first teaching class, I found that I was actually finding myself.
It really pushes you to dig deeper and, you know, figure out what you're going for figure
out who you are.
If you love working with children and want to help them be successful learners and you
want to help change children to the people that they're going to become I definitely
highly recommend Northern Essex.
I think it's a great place to start.
