Introductory Biography

My name is Katelyn Richards, this is my second year at FSW and I am majoring in education and I want to teach kindergarten, I'm attending FSW to get my AA in education and transferring to a university.Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher and I started baby sitting at a young age until my senior year I got at job at a day care and fell more in love with teaching.

Through out this past year I realized I do not want to work with too young of an age. As I started getting my hours for my teaching classes I decided I wanted to teach kindergarten and move away from day care. I'm extremely excited to get my career started as a teacher! I believe everyone thinks they have a fail proof philosophy about teaching and learning. Quite frankly though my opinion on the matter is that you have to have so many different approaches to teaching to adapt to the students around you. Students don't adapt to a teachers way of teaching, teachers adapt to a students way of learning and I am excited to not only teach but learn.

 I don't have much experience with technology besides your basic paint, word and social media. I got my first phone in elementary school to be able to call my parents. When I was in middle school I received my first computer and since then I started getting more familiar with technology. Although I'm not a master with technology I think I'm pretty familiar with the basics. I'm not exactly sure how to bring technology into a classroom. But I am ready to learn more about how to bring technology into my future classroom!
