Taylor Schmid

Sophomore at APSU. It's my goal to become an art teacher for 9-12.

A5: An Education Masters would be nice. I haven't put too much thought into it before. Focusing on the now and the little bit ahead. #ap3040

A4: I would like to pursue more art driven projects, maybe even dabble in animation or comics. Any personal projects if they could support me. I would also like to teach college art someday, so I do plan on returning to school at some point to get the degree needed. #ap3040

@msmorganash I agree! Teachers will have to face a lot of problems, especially with the current political climate. Being able to maintain positivity is important for the teacher and their students.

@mr_hastings1 I 100% agree with the standardized testing, take it down! Teachers need more respect, they're often viewed to be like babysitters.

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A2: Better school environments that the teacher can feel comfortable in. That and the teacher needs the drive to teach. They can't let every issue build up and take over. #ap3040

@drzimmerle @SavannahTeach @candi_hardin 🤞Fingers crossed!

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A1: From what I've read, it's mostly because of the working conditions of schools. Teachers don't feel appreciated enough. They take on so many roles and aren't given the recognition they deserve. #ap3040

My name is Taylor Schmid. I don't have a favorite show, but currently I'm really into The Good Place. #ap3040

@RichHayzler As an aspiring teacher, this is a lot of great advice! I haven't yet considered this sort of method.

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A3: Curiosity is what drives the students the most. As a teacher, you can only go so far to make sure your students are learning and engaged. Tapping into that curiosity is what truly gets the ball rolling. #tlap

@CoryHastings2 While I don't fully agree, I do respect your view on it! Thanks for replying :^)

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A4. I think for art teachers, Instagram will be a blast to use. Showing off student's artwork to other students and parents will be a fun and simple way to immortalize the works. #ap3040

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

@tmasonteaches It's good to keep an open mind! I'm curious as well, but also wary. Technology and I don't get along.

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

@CoryHastings2 I don't think I'll be using Twitter very much in the future either, but could you elaborate how Twitter could do more harm than good?

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A3. I don't think it's something I'll actively engage with for years down the road. Maybe now and then if I need that extra help. I just can't navigate the website that well. Still, gonna give it a try. #ap3040

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A2. Youtube is good resource. You can look up videos about teaching techniques and classroom activities. #Ap3040

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

@TeachCommander I totally agree! Having more connections and learning of different opinions will definitely open up more choices for a teacher, especially if they feel like they have none.

[Taylor Schmid @SchmidTeaches]

A1. Teachers already create their personal working networks, but now with the internet involved, teachers are able to broaden their network. Being able to reach out to others of different walks of life can help you put a new perspective on how to handle things. #ap3040
