I believe that education allows every student to learn, grow, and prepare for the world that awaits them. Through education, students learn how to read, write and count. Not only does education provide that, but it also gives students communication skills, how to work with one another and most importantly, teaches them to love learning. These qualities play a big role in student’s futures and lives. What I will do to help my students is create a classroom environment where they feel safe, but most importantly feel like they can succeed. The perfect classroom environment is positive and supportive for everyone. I will not tolerate negativity or bullying. To keep positivity all academic year I will have quotes and/or posters with …show more content…

I believe children learn best when they are able to try things on their own. Teachers should give students tasks where they can do projects and gather their own information. This encourages students to think, ask questions, and come up with solutions. In addition, students learn best when they are given time to understand something. My plans are to individually go over a problem with a struggling student and find a way they learn best. We know students have different learning styles; visual, auditory, physical, social, solitary. I will have 5 centers which will allow all students to experience these learning styles, while still learning the curriculum. The centers will help the students in their subjects; Language & Literacy, Creative Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. In addition, all teaching in my classroom will be aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Standards-based lessons will help prepare my students for the challenges of first grade. My door will always be open to all students who need help. I will remain positive all the time to encourage students and let them know I believe in them. I will measure my effectiveness as a teacher by assessing to track improvements in my students. Instead of testing my students, I will sit with them and do small activities where I will ask them questions and see if they use vocabulary we learned. If they meet the goal, that means my work is heading the right

I want to create an atmosphere of safety. I plan to teach my students to have mutual respect and resolve conflict in a calm manner. My classroom will be student-centered, I will set this tone by having the class mutually agree upon the classroom rules and set consequences they can understand and easily follow. The rules will be few and tailored to the needs of the students. I will set clear expectations for the class and be a role model.

Being involved in the learning process of others is vitally important to me. I believe that as an educator, we have the capability and responsibility to help mold not only students educational goals, but to help mold them into successful adults that sill contribute to society. Many times during my life I have been a teacher, a counselor, a cheerleader and a role model for my students. Every student is at a different point in their learning process and cycle, and a good educator can find that point and capitalize on what the student needs next.

I am the first person in my family to attend and graduate from college. Pushing this type of learner to try something with a little risk and influencing change will be my focus. Being aware of my learning style and those of my students will make me a better educator. Since I will be teaching younger children I must be creative in ways to assess their learning style and be willing to take the time to get to know each one of

Education is the most important part of a child's development. If we look closer at education, we can see that it is more than just the subjects being taught, it is also the connections the student makes across their life. Schools are the social development grounds for children to teenagers, fostering relationships one will probably never see again in their lifetime. These diverse communities are essential to a child's development, opening their eyes to lives outside their own will create a welcoming environment among students. That is why I feel that the education field is one of the most important jobs in the world.

An important part of effective teaching revolves around creating and maintaining an efficient classroom environment that encourages students to actively participate, rather than passively learn. As an educator, it is important to create a learning-centered environment that is safe, supportive and educational for each individual student as they grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Establishing a learning environment that is conducive to teaching and learning comes from emphasizing on a series of components that make this possible. Such components include creating a physical environment that is conducive to the children’s social, emotional, and academic growth; developing and encouraging positive relationships; establishing high expectations

I believe that all of the students who enter my classroom can and will succeed. It’s my responsibility to help all of my students reach their full potential, gain knowledge, and skills that they will need in their everyday lives. The teaching in my classroom is student centered and the students should be accountable for their behavior and learning. As a teacher, I’m able to help my students on their quest for knowledge, acquire communication skills, critical thinking skills, and problem solving skills which will allow my students to be life-long learners. By allowing my students to use the tools and their knowledge to discover and implement through other outlets to problem solve.

Students deserve to learn at their own paces and styles with the help of teachers to incorporate that diversity in their teaching style to match the students’ learning styles. Teachers have responsibilities to facilitate student learning, teach basic skills students need in their lives, and help students grow as individuals. As a future teacher, I have many personal goals I wish to achieve with my students in guiding them to discover their interests, find the value in what they are learning, and see how their academics can build the foundation for helping the world be a better place. Students deserve to be able to thrive and flourish in a learning environment that prepares them not only how to succeed on an academic standpoint but also with succeeding in life. Learning allows people to grow and change into who they would like to be, for a world of experienced and educated people is a better off

Thus, creating a positive learning environment in the classroom. Not just because it is what one should do, but reason being some children only get any type of positivity in their lives at school. If a well-established environment is created in the classroom, the students will be able to have a positive connection with each other and myself. If they had no one else, they felt that they could go to in life; I would love to prove myself enough to become not only a teacher, but also a friend, and counselor. I want to be so optimistic that my students could come to me about anything and trust me enough to talk with me about whatever is bothering them.

I have chosen primary education as my field of study for college. Teaching the minds of the upcoming generation has inspired me since I was known as the next generation. In fourth grade, I was new and this teacher took me in and told me how there is more good than bad being a new student. I was inspired from her, and that is why I have chosen education as my field of study. They say one must grow up to move on, yet I believe that there is something that gets lost in the growing up process.

Thinking about my future classroom and the structure and organization I will put into order, I realize that this will depend largely on what kind of students I have in my classroom. I recognize that as a teacher, I will play a tremendous role in guiding my students. Many may not have much of a structured life at home. Some may not have a mother figure and result in being the mother figure themselves! Depending on their age, a student will be required to assume different levels of responsibility.

As an educator, my philosophy of learning is constantly evolving to meet the needs of my students and reflecting on my own development as a teacher. It is my goal as a teacher to help all my students learn and grow in ways that are developmentally appropriate and efficient in shaping my students to be not only great learners, but wonderful people as well. I believe that while there is a general pattern for how students learn at each age range, there are also special considerations for the individuality of each student as they are growing into adults. Therefore, I believe that students should be considered not only as a whole class, but also as their individual selves. I am firm believer in Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory.

I believe the purposes of education are to create adults who can live and compete in a global economy, to create lifelong learners, to help children develop the skills and knowledge to allow them to be responsible contributing members of society. I believe that children learn best when they are taught under certain conditions and in certain ways. One of these are, having a good work environment. Children need to feel safe in the class they are in all day. We as teachers should observe each child individually and figure out how they learn best and try to incorporate each learning style into the lesson.

Moreover, it is important to realize that we are living in an open-minded society, in which our students are individuals and unique. In this conversation about creating an ideal school or classroom, a vigorous debate could be last for some time, the problem we will meet might be hard to solve. For example, the classroom we create is ideal for one child might not be the best for another child. For a school or classroom to work as a learning place for a child it has to be a good match with their needs, as well as the their personality. On the other hand, I still believe that it is possible to build an ideal classroom situation.

The purpose of education is to create the “catalyst”, - the interest, the imagination, the self-confidence, the enthusiasm for further knowledge that helps a person grow beyond what they believe they can be. Education should help develop skills and knowledge, so students can be productive members of society. The more knowledge you have, the more opportunities you have in life. I think back to my childhood and the teachers that made an impact in my life. I want to be that catalyst for students.
