I believe the area I would mostly be affective would be in the cultural dimension. I am at John Brown studying Early Childhood Education. With this degree, I want to be a teacher in a foreign school. I believe this is where a big change in the cultural and intellectual thinking is developed. To make a difference in a community, it is easiest to change the perspective of children rather than adults who are set in their ways.
The way I would bring a change about in my classroom is encourage a love for learning. I would try to have my students dig deeper into subjects and learn to love how in depth they can dive into a subject. It seems that today in a lot of schools’ students do the minimum requirement needed to get the grade, but they do not relish in learning or retaining the new material.
So as small as this may sound I believe that influencing a handful of children every year can make a significant impact on a community. I would like to start at the root of the problem and develop childrens minds before they become set in their ways.
