My name is Paige Lattimore and my major is History Education. I am very close to graduating and I am glad I am almost done. Also, I love working with children and ideally I would love to work with students younger than 14. This summer I worked at a camp for kids with autism and also at a nursery school. Due to my experience, I am thinking about continuing my education so I could become certified to work with children with special needs. History is my favorite subject to learn about, especially learning about American history.
After graduating from Montclair State University, I am
hoping I can pursue a career as a Social Studies teacher. I'd like to work with either elementary or middle school children. I have always had a
passion for history and growing up I have always wanted to be a teacher. The
teachers I have had in the past inspired me to become a teacher. Not only am I excited to teach the content of Social Studies and History, I would like to show a connection of importance of community. In general I am confident and comfortable with using technology. However, if I do not understand something I can learn pretty easily. I would love to know more about implementing technology in the classroom, especially since times have changed so much. I realize that new generations of students utilize technology more than in the past, so it is important that I learn how to make use of new techniques and equipment.
