My name is Julianne Nicoletti. I have been working at local daycares since I graduated high school. Currently I am helping run a grade school program which has given me a peek at what my career will be like.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I started school at the age of five. However, my second grade teacher was and still is my biggest inspiration! I have always been helping kids younger than myself. I love that expression on their face when something finally clicks. To me that expression is moe rewarding than anything else in this world.
I would love to teach third or fourth grade! However, where I live jobs are harder to come by so I have to be realistic and would work kindergarten to fourth maybe fifth grade. I will need a few years under my belt before I try teaching sixth grade. We have a few sixth grade students in the program I run and I have the hardest time with them.
My personality type is ESFP. I am an action-oriented person. I live life to the fullest and like to get tasks done. I think this has and will continue to make me a good teacher. However, it does cause challenges from time to time. Young children like to talk and goof off while I am focused on getting the task at hand done. In my job now there are days where I feel stressed because there are students that have trouble listening and following directions. I feel that this is a challenge I will overcome with time and experience.
My learning style is auditory as well as visual. This posed its challenges when I was a student. However, I feel that as a teacher it will help me because I understand that I need to teach my lessons in every way possible. I need to have ways of teaching so tat every student has an equal opportunity of gaining the information. That being said, every lesson will have a visual part, an auditory part, as well as some form of a hands on activity part.
