Hello, my name is Heidi Heisterkamp, a senior elementary education major.  I am excited to be a teacher and have the opportunity to work with children on a regular basis as they develop mentally, emotionally, and physically.  I desire to see children grow in knowledge and develop a love for learning.  I see teaching as a challenge because of the dynamics each classroom may have with the varying personalities of the students and look forward to it! 

My passion to teach developed as a child.  Being the firstborn of 3 girls, we "played school" on a regular basis and had fun with the worksheets I made and the chalkboard handed down by my mother.  I enjoyed being the "authority figure" as I took roll call and graded my sister's work.  Now that I have seriously studied education, I've learned that being a teacher is less about being an "authority figure" and more about being a role model of character, integrity, and commitment to critical thinking.

This website is a tool to use for glimpsing into my preparation I undertook and development I underwent in order to be the teacher I am today.
