  2. Name of Artifact: Personal Statement PowerPoint Date: October 7, 2013 Course: EDUC 101 Brief Description: For this assignment, I created a Personal Statement Power Point that documents my reasons for wanting to teach. I include effective teacher traits that I possess, the characteristics the students and community have where I want to teach, and what I can personally contribute to the profession. Rationale: To document my understanding of standard #2, Learning Differences, I selected to include my Personal statement Power Point, this assignment shows my understanding of teaching a diverse culture and the importance of enabling each learner to meet high standards.

  3. Reasons for wanting to teach • The love of teaching • Providing security and a safe-haven for children • To make a difference • To create life long learners/ better citizens http://www.google.com/search?q=lightbulb+effect&rlz+1T4AURU-enUS500US500&tb
