I write to you with the upmost excitement and potential for the future. Alverno offers numerous
opportunities for advancing your career in education. Alverno has taught me beyond the abilities
of being a mediocre educator and to be an educator that can make a difference. Alverno has
offered me the education to emphasize their abilities with the Wisconsin state standards. Also,
Alverno has shown me teaching methods that have and continue to enhance my abilities to teach.
I encourage you to engulf yourself in the educational knowledge and resources Alverno has to
offer.
The educational knowledge I am referring to begins with your LTM 612 class and the
class sets the tone for your educational experience at Alverno. The manner this class sets the
tone for your educational experience is through introducing you to state teaching standards and
the Alverno abilities. LTM 612 begins to teach you methods of teaching and introduces you to
teaching through classwork and field placement work. The field placement work gives you a
hands on experience to not only learning but practicing the Alverno advanced abilities as well as
the state teaching standards.
Teaching standards and the Alverno abilities align to create a better learning environment
and allow you to have more fun as a teacher. These concepts have aligned with not only my
teaching style but also the philosophy of education that they have asked you to create to enter
this program. When I was beginning the program the college asked me to create an educational
philosophy and since creating this philosophy it has transformed to an idea that has enhanced my
teaching ability and the students learning experience.
