EDU 304: Introduction to Education




Educator Interview

A good teacher is not that hard to find, but you must know where to look. Teachers have

a very important responsibility for shaping the lives of young, impressionable children. I had the

, 2


opportunity to interview an amazing educator. There are many roles, qualities, and strategies

that comprise an effective teacher. I choose to interview a high school teacher because I wanted

to get another high school teacher's perspective while I’m still deciding whether I want to

continue to be in the classroom or move towards consulting. This educator currently teaches at

James B. Dudley High located in Guildford County, North Carolina. She teachers grade ten and

there are currently 66 students in this school. This school is a Title 1 and formerly Mission

Possible and historically and predominantly black. This school was the first black school in

Guilford County established in 1929 during segregation. Mrs. Freeman has been teaching for

eight years and she’s been teaching six years at Dudley High School.



Summary and Analysis

Motivation and Philosophy

Educators need to be compassionate, cultured, and diligent. A career in education is not

for the faint of heart. There is a legacy of education in my family, and that normalized my

perspective of hard-working women of color. This motivated me to represent and advocate for

those who often feel ostracized for not being “normal” in an educational setting. Mrs. Freeman

was awarded a scholarship opportunity to pursue a teaching career. It was a decision and not a

dream. She witnessed her mother and a legacy of family members devote themselves tirelessly to

their teaching careers and I did not desire a life so difficult. However, in my undergraduate

fieldwork, I saw education as a light for children. I asked Mrs. Freeman about her philosophy of

education and her role with her students. She stated, that education can be the key to equity. So

many students witness their parents and loved ones become disparaged by poverty. As her role as

an educator, she leans into students who fit this profile because their appetite for change is so
