Introduction



My name is Cynthia Robinson. I am an Early Childhood/Special Education Senior at Bowie State University. I want to become a special education teacher because I want to have a positive influence on young children academically and socially. It is my desire to "train a child up" so they can be a positive influence for their family, peers, and community.

My philosophy on education, I believe that every child have a right to a free

appropriate education in a safe and fun environment. I believe that if a student is given

proper instructions from a highly qualified teacher, the student will earn what is taught

from any curriculum and the student will be a high achiever. It is my desirer as a

special education teacher to help students develop academically, socially, physically,

and spiritually to prepare students for life. Today, the diversity of students in the

classroom has changed drastically. I believe that each student no matter what the

culture and linguistic or ethnic background should be given the opportunity to learn in a

safe environment. As an educator, I will establish an on-going working relationship with

each student and their family to learn ways I can better assist them in the community.

Today, teaching students how to use technology is on the rise as a new wave for

educating student to be a better communicators. I believe that, “Technology

literacy is the ability of an individual working independently and with others, to

responsibly, appropriately and effectively use technology tools to access, manage,

integrate, evaluate, create, and communicate information. I will further give 100

percent of my time, talents and efforts to every student I teach so they can achieve their

highest potentials in every area in the curriculum.


 * Life goals for myself**

My goals are to earn a Masters Degree in Child Psychology and to be a life-long

learner. My plan is to open a successful Charter school in my community where I can

provide inclusion classrooms for any students with special needs and to provide an

alternative chose for parents and students other than a public school. I have

compassion for special education children and I have a love for teaching for teaching

students with learning disabilities. At my school, I will work directly with special

education children in my charter school.
