Week 12 - Write and reflect on the professional qualities of your dream job


The professional setting of my dream job is definitely in an elementary school. After spending time with elementary, middle, and high school students, I feel that an elementary school is my dream setting. My hope is that I will work with a principle who is interested in the arts and makes many visits to my room. I would like to be in a more urban setting, and possibly part of a larger district with many elementary schools. I want to feel like I'm part of a community, and be part of a school where there are community events and community outreach. I would prefer a job in a district where business casual dress is enforced because I think setting a boundary line between the teachers and students is important. I think that dressing professionally also sends an important message to students that you're serious about your job, and being in the students presence. I think having a diverse community is important to me as well. I want to live in an area where there are many cultures present. Growing up in a College town, I enjoyed meeting many different people from all over the world.
