My name is Alyssa Becker and I am a
student at Seton Hall University. I am a junior studying secondary education
and French. I have grown to love education and everything that it has to offer.
I am excited to see what the world of teaching has to offer. I hope to teach
French in either a middle school or high school setting. I love French and the
culture which surrounds it. I am eager to travel abroad and explore first-hand
what France beholds. Although I have not been yet, I will be studying abroad
this summer!
When I’m
not studying, I love to sew and to cook! I’m a very creative person and love
expressing myself in these types of ways. I live in a small town about 20
minutes south of Boston, called Hanover. I graduated from Notre Dame Academy
(Hingham) in May of 2010 and plan on graduating Seton Hall University in May of
2014. While at Notre Dame, my passion of French truly blossomed. Before NDA, I
had studied Spanish. Although not “bad” at the language, I decided to switch to
French. With this I was able to travel to Quebec for Carnival as well as many
French-related excursions such as the Impressionist exhibition at the Museum of
Fine Arts in Boston.
I look
forward to seeing what my life has planned for me in my education and French
journey. For any comments or questions, please contact me by email at alyssa.becker@student.shu.edu.
Statement of Beliefs
A classroom is like a ticking clock. From the outside,
clocks come in every shape and size. From the inside, they are precisely
formulated working machine. Everything in a clock supports and contributes to
the sole purpose of the unit: to tick. A classroom is much like this clock,
physically different from one room to another but made up of different working
parts that contribute to its success. These inside workings are known as
classroom management. Classroom management is a huge part of creative and
successful and productive classroom. Classrooms do not function on their own
but rely on precise directions and procedures. These procedures are my own way of
creating a welcoming and comfortable learning environment for students.
Procedures will be clearly explained and each student will receive a copy of
these in hope of imprinting them in the forefront of their mind. These
procedures and classroom management strategies will lead to an effective,
productive, “well-oiled” classroom. When the only thing the students have to
worry about when they enter the classroom is learning, students are free to
explore new topics and are less intimidating to become fully engaged in what
the classroom has to offer.
