The “future” kindergarten teacher is flexible, enjoys children, can work well with many different types of people, and they take an active role in promoting developmentally appropriate learning. I very much enjoy working with children, and I love to engage them and to see them learn, so I feel that I will be able to promote developmentally appropriate learning with some training, since right now it is sort of difficult to know what sort of level students should be on in a particular grade. I also appreciate collaborative work, and I feel that to create the best possible educational system for our children, we have to get perspectives of many different people, like parents, specialists, and other teachers in the school. I am sure that I will be able to work well and collaborate with all these people once I am primarily responsible for a classroom.
