Educational Philosophy Statement

I believe that education is a great tool that has the power to positively impact people and communities and that is a huge reason why it was my dream to become a teacher since I was a little kid looking up to my teachers. As a future educator, I will be dedicated to assisting students in realizing their fullest potential and to become involved and active members of society. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and develop, and it will be my duty as a teacher to help create a classroom where this can happen. To achieve this, I will work on creating a classroom that values diversity, creativity, and critical thinking. I will work to establish positive relationships with my students based on honesty, reverence, and trust. I see …show more content…

In my opinion, students learn quickest if they are engaged in the course material and are able to connect it to their own lives and experiences. I will use a variety of teaching strategies and tools to cater to diverse learning styles and abilities and help students take ownership of their learning, for example I will focus on group work, hands-on activities, and project-based learning, to cater to diverse learning styles and abilities. I will also be actively involved in my students' learning, providing feedback and support that is tailored to their individual needs and learning …show more content…

To achieve this, I will be intentional about creating opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning, and will encourage students to work together to solve problems and explore new ideas. I believe that collaboration and cooperation are essential skills for success in the 21st century, and I will work to cultivate these skills in my students through collaborative projects, group discussions, and peer feedback. Ultimately, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to succeed both academically and personally. I believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that are essential for success in the real world. To achieve this, I will be intentional about creating opportunities for my students to apply what they have learned to real-world problems and situations and will encourage them to be active participants in their own

I believe that this activity can positively impact learning because students have the opportunity to tell me beneficial ways they learn or what they may need assistance in. Students know themselves the best. This will also help me keep the content engaging for all students when I use different instructional strategies.

I believe that when I become a teacher it will be my responsibility for educating children inside and outside of the classroom. I will be playing a vital role in children development and also laying the academic foundation for children’s life. I just want to make a difference in each child’s life that I will teach. I am well aware that the early years of development are the most impressionable years of who a child will become. Children are our future!

I never envisioned myself in a professional role that involved me working behind a desk or in an office without constant interactions with others in some capacity. I always saw myself having a career that involved interacting with children and witnessing their eyes light up or that "aha" moment when they learn new concepts. For a while, I was still deciding what career would be the best fit for me, but now I know that seeking to be a teacher is the best fit for me. A career as a teacher is meaningful and will allow me to work directly with children daily. In the role, I will teach them educational and behavioral skills while also being able to provide them with the necessary resources to witness their growth.

I want students to be able to learn and appreciate the complexity which is our nervous system. I want to foster a passion for all things neuroscience.

Research that they were able to accomplish at a high school without high tech labs or vast resources. I want students to get to places that I could never imagine.

Cooperative learning is a pedagogical tool that sees students working in small groups together to maximise their own and their peer’s learning (ASHE, 1991; Seel, 2012). It provides students with the opportunity to direct their own learning through interacting, sharing and comparing their thoughts and ideas with their peers during the learning process (Van, 2013). Cooperative learning embodies five fundamental features: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face promotive interaction, social skills, and group processing (Seel, 2012). These features allow students to address both intellectual and social learning goals (Coates & Mayfield, 2009). Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, guided by cognitivism, sees learning as an active and social process through participation (O’Donnell, 2016).

As a future educator, I am most passionate about creating a safe environment for my students by incorporating culturally responsive practices and social justice into my classroom. As a woman who struggled with anxiety throughout my childhood, I understand the value of inclusion, respect, and equity in teaching. It is imperative to offer students with a safe haven during their formative years in which they are free to make their own opinions and formulate their own unique personality based on their life experiences. In America, we are fortunately surrounded by many different types of people and in the face of such diversity, unite together to form one nation. In light of the divisiveness of our country, it is incredibly important that student's

Within my classroom, I will implement various hands-on and interactive teaching strategies to assist and heighten my students’ learning. Ultimately, I desire for my students to learn the curriculum, while also delighting in the process. Since our courses provide flexibility in the methods of teaching, I believe that the students should have a say in how they are taught and instructed, which is referred to as a student-centered classroom (Nath & Cohen, 2005). To accomplish this goal, for instance, I will collaborate with and incorporate my students’ thoughts, ideas and feedback regarding lesson plans and activities. This form of teaching will allow each member of the class to express his/her opinions, thus creating an environment that is balanced and more suitable for the needs of individual students.

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.

Growing up as a child, my ambition was to become an elementary teacher. I grew up watching my mother work with children who had difficulty reading. I observed the determination she had towards helping these students, who their very own teachers had already given up on them. Although, my mother was only a teacher’s assistant, that did not stop her from filling up each student’s brains with knowledge and skills. Through my childhood I often observed my mother’s hard work and determination, and I just knew that one day I too had to change the lives of my very own students.

I believe that the important goal in teaching is to encourage and promote learning. My task as a teacher is to inspire a child to become self-motivated and then reach beyond their own expectation and beyond my expectation as a teacher.
