who are already in week #283.
This week, I want to participate in one of the proposals of the creator of the community and the initiative, related to the one in which he invites us to say what we are experts in and explain why.
If I had to say what I am an expert in, I could refer to my activity as a teacher.
Why do I consider myself a good teacher?
The first reason I would explain would be the time dedicated to this profession and the fact that I dedicate 32 years of my life to teaching has given me the necessary tools that have allowed me to improve the quality of my classes and reach my students in a better way.
Throughout all these years I have been able to study and learn about the characteristics of the different age groups with which I have worked, which has allowed me to know the characteristics of the adolescents and young people with whom I have worked. This has been essential to be able to achieve educational results because it has allowed me to know what I should do, depending on the group in which I am.
Another element that supports my statement is having dedicated a lot of time of my life to my professional improvement through postgraduate courses, diplomas, specialties that have allowed me to deepen the different elements of knowledge of my subject and the means and methods that I must use, to better reach each group of students.
Also, the fact that I have worked at different levels of education has allowed me to grow professionally and methodologically.
Another aspect that has helped me in this process of teaching expertise is having participated in different national and international scientific events, contributing my experience and learning from others
I have worked in basic secondary school, pre-university and I have taught at the university. All this has endowed me with a great deal of knowledge and has developed my pedagogical mastery.
All of the above has allowed me to have influenced several generations of students who today are professionals in health, education, sports, science, culture and much more. This is what has really led me to affirm that I am a good teacher, since many of these professionals have recognized time and again our influence on their training.
A final comment
I consider myself a good teacher, but I'm not perfect.
In this teaching you never get to know everything and, despite the virtues it may have, I consider that I still have a lot to learn because this profession travels a long road in which you must learn at every step of the way.
