MAET Goal StatementBy: Tai Kimmerly

This is me.

This was a very long time ago.

These are my parents.

Mom is a hair

dresser.

Dad is a sheet metal worker.

As far back as I can remember, I

asked for a piano.Can I please

have a

piano?

piano?

Can I please

have a

piano?


asked for a piano.

I am a very squeaky wheel.

I also took dance as a child.

But I didn’t really dance.

I played with strange things.

People noticed.

I stopped doing homework.

Are you sure

you don’t have

any homework?


POSITIVE!


I switched schools.

I switched schools.

My new school had choir, so I

didn’t have to pretend to dance!

I stopped playing with weird

things.

Well, at least at school.

I once again did my

homework.

Mostly.Zzzzzz

z…

But I remembered how to work

hard.

I graduated within the top 10 of

my class.

After high school, I went to

Oakland University to study

music education.

It didn’t take long for me to

realize that friends are better

than coffee.

Graduation was here again in no

time.

Graduation was here again in no

time.

Magna Cum Laude!

My passion and current job is

teaching elementary music.

One of my goals is to have a

classroom where everyone

belongs…

Whether they play with glue,

Sing too loud,

Or need homework

reminders.

It helps to have lessons the kids

want to do.

I get the drum! The

xylophone

is mine!I want the guiro!

Can I please

have a piano?

To make sure my lessons are things

students want to do, my next goal is

to add more technology components

to my lessons.

It is a great tool to access the

world around us.

It is also an inexhaustible resource

of ways to reach my students, and

effectively engage and assess them.

In order to improve my teaching and

maximize the impact of my subject

matter on students, technology is

the method I would like to explore.
