Bio File
Greetings, internet. I am Zachary Durham, a semi-average student at Bartlett Yancey School. My hobbies include random assortments of trivia knowledge, creative literature and writing, the occasional video game fascination, digital animation, and of course, furthering my educational career.
I am taking several standard and advance courses per required for graduation, but one of the most prominent courses I'm enrolled in is the Teacher Cadet Program. I have completed part one of the course, and have already gained some first-hand experience with my internship. For the better half of the first semester, I worked alongside Ms.Howell of Oakwood Elementary and assisted her in teaching her fifth grade homeroom class. I assisted, observed, and even managed to teach a few lessons during my time with her class. It was a delightful experience, and I look forward to returning when our internships begin once more.
When I first signed up for the course, my original intention was mostly to gain first-hand experience with working with large groups of people and gain public speaking and cooperative skills which are a highly valued necessity in the work-place beyond high-school. However, as the course progressed, I amassed more and more interest and passion in continuing a full-fledged teacher career. Now, in the second part of the course, I aim to hone my skills and further develop my growth as a teacher.
My future goals are rather straight-forward; I plan to gain more insight into the requirements of becoming and training to be a teacher, and to better construct and implement my lesson plans so any future students of mine walk away having actually understand the subject material. I want any kids I teach walking out of the classroom with the knowledge and tools they need to grow and move forward in their own careers so they pursue their own ambitions armed with the essential mental prowess to do so.
