I want my students to know that I am a positive role model who supports them and sees the potential in them to be amazing and achieve their goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to instill a love for learning and school that they take with them for the rest of their lives, to build a foundation for them to aid their future learning, and to empower them and give them pride for their identities. 

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to elevate students voices through creating a safe learning environment

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to help my students grow more resilient and have a growth mindset. I really want to create a positive LE where students feel supported, heard, seen, and valued.

I hope to teach students appropriate ways to deal with their feelings and what healthy interactions look like (this is a big problem in my school). I hope to teach them that they’re loved and cared for regardless of their home situation. My goal isn’t to teach them, but to get them to love learning and look forward to coming to school so much that they start to teach themselves with my help

# data[].attributes.body
If my students learn nothing else from me ALL year but this one thing, I hope it is that they know that they are their only (own) limitation. I want them to internalize that they can, and are capable of, achieving ANYTHING they want if they put their mind, efforts, and energy to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to create a positive virtual learning environment where students feel engaged and can have fun. From experience this past semester I know there were virtual classes I looked forward to and virtual classes I dreaded (feelings which did not correlate to those I felt when classes were in person). I want to create an environment where students look forward to coming to class and feel comfortable/enthusiastic about participating.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to diversify my thinking and learn as much as I can from everyone. I want to be able to remember these next two years as being powerful years of growth.

Participating in different events and starting groups to play ball

# data[].attributes.body
I want to improve my teaching skills and confidence in them so I can stay in the field long term. I hope to learn more patience and understanding. I want to know more about the diverse community I'll be serving and understand their needs and how to best meet them by building relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to cultivate a growth mindset within myself and beat the imposter syndrome feelings I have.

I want to be transformed through my relationships I make with students and families. I think these experiences will make me more understanding and empathetic.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't yet know how I'll be transformed by this experience. TFA's mission aligns so closely with things and causes I already valued. I know there will be change and I'm excited to find out exactly what that will look like. I want for the relationships that I foster to be lasting, real, and genuine; whether it be with TFA members, my students, or their families.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to grow and learn new perspectives that inform my thinking. I want my relationships with my students, colleagues, and all other communities to be strong and feel meaningful and valuable for all. For me this means being a better communicator and continuing to be open and honest.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to be more engaged and present in whatever I am doing rather than thinking about what else I can do or what is next.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to gain more confidence as a leader, community member, and teacher. I want to learn about more resources that I can use in my classroom and community to promote equity and CRP. I want to learn all I can to be the best culturally relevant practitioner I can be.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not know yet how I will be personally transformed yet and right now I do not want to set a ton of expectations. I want to have my students and my coworkers help me see how this transformation will be. In terms of mindset, I think remaining open is the most important thing and not ruling out any emotion or feeling that might come my way.

# data[].attributes.body
Talking about identities and investigating parts of my own have really taught me a lot about my perception of the world. I want to always be able to think from that perspective. I also hope to grow into my confidence as a capable educator. Whether in-person or virtually.

I want to enter this year with an open mind! I am not sure how this year will impact me but I want to be willing to learn continuously.

# data[].attributes.body
I want be transformed in my thinking of what it is like to be my best self as an educator and understanding that perfectionism is not realistic, especially in my first year of teaching. There will be many ups and downs but that is apart of life and apart of growing.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to learn from different perspectives and build meaningful relationships within my learning community.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to grow in so many ways from this experience. Grow in confidence, grow in relationship building, grow in advocacy work, grow in better supporting my students. I think every day will be a learning curve, so I am trying to mentally prepare myself for that. I would like to have a resilient and open mindset so I can continue to grow and learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to grow in my understanding of inequity and how it functions in the school system. Additionally, I want to grow my understanding of how to fight inequity on both macro and micro levels.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to build students’ confidence as they move through material and learn that they are “life-long learners”. Even when things get difficult, I want them to feel supported by me and their peers so that they know that they can persevere. Also want students to see learning as fun

# data[].attributes.body
I hope I come out knowing more than I did going in--about my community, my work, my impact, etc. I also hope I have a positive mindset of recognizing areas of growth and also opportunities for change in my second year

# data[].attributes.body
I want to become more confident in my own learning and ability to navigate through new situations

Going to events and finding people who have similar interests as me and doing those things with them!

I want to build multiple kinds of relationships. I'm excited to meet to people and make new friends, but also to create connections with other teacher leaders who can serve as mentors to me.

I look forward to getting help from other TFA teachers. I also would like to see what TFA KC alum are doing outside of teaching and also inventive ways that the TFA alum have found to best teach virtually.

# data[].attributes.body
Going to the dog park bar (jk). I want to go to different networking and social events that TFA will have to offer (post-covid) and really start developing relationships with this awesome network of TFAKC folks.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a part of the community does not stop in the classroom. Attending other events my students are involved is  important to engaging in a diverse network.

# data[].attributes.body
This is something I am worried about with COVID & being the only TFA corps member at my school. I want to reach out and make connections with new people (esp. ppl that will teach in a similar context/grade level!).

# data[].attributes.body
I want to meet and have casual conversations with the TFAKCFAM. COVID makes it difficult to do so at this time, but I look forward to the post-coronavirus opportunities! I also want to engage with TFAKC folx who are teaching at my school or at my same grade level!

# data[].attributes.body
I want to have the ability to eventually go to events that TFA holds as well as just connecting with people after a discussion to keep that connection going

# data[].attributes.body
I want to get to know the city itself more by familiarizing myself with the areas where my students live

# data[].attributes.body
Coronavirus definitely makes it a bit harder to build relationships, but I really want to engage with the TFAKC community by reaching out to people, supporting my peers (and receiving support too), and learning from past CMs experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to attend the TFAkcfam dinners and really get to know my coach and other members deeply. If anyone wants to hang, me and Michelle have a cool apartment.

# data[].attributes.body
Though I'm from here, I'm excited to connect deeper with the city by going to community events and engaging more with the people. There's also many areas/places that I haven't been to in years that I need to revisit

# data[].attributes.body
I want to engage cautiously (for personal reasons) but with an open and curious mind. I want to be a help in time of need and a shoulder to cry on, if needed but also a "good times" friend as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to come more familiar with Kansas city itself by engage in more diverse activities and experiencing the culture here so that I can have a better understanding of diversity in Kansas City.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to get to know TFAKC by engaging in events, online and hopefully in person at some point. I want to reach out to other CMs to get to know them, and ask staff, 2019 CMs, and alum for help and advice.

# data[].attributes.body
Going to events (when it's safe). Also being able to support each other by being available, even over the phone or social media.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm looking forward to getting to know other corps members in the area through in person events (when appropriate and manageable). I'm excited to try new things and engage with the community in different ways.
