The power of education beings with a great foundation. I believe that we are all born with an innate drive to learn and every child should have the opportunity to experience the power of education in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment. For this environment to be successful, I will provide students with the space to express themselves, opportunities to explore their curiosity, and ¬experiences in which they are able to grow as individuals. It is my goal, as an educator, to help students discover and foster their ability to learn and build upon their foundation of knowledge. To achieve these goals, it is important that I first understand the role schools within society, the role of students, my role as an educator, the design of my curriculum/classroom management strategies, and the role of parents within my classroom. First and foremost, with the advancement of society comes the need to provide space for children to cultivate their own knowledge by giving them the chance to reach their goals in order to become a …show more content…

On the contrary, my role is help facilitate and provide guidance to my students to help them in expanding their knowledge. My role is to support my students throughout each and every task throughout the day and provide resources for them in order to express themselves, explore their curiosity, and ¬ grow as individuals. Additionally, it is my responsibility to make sure that my classroom as well as teaching methods welcome and encourages a diverse classroom. I will be sure to incorporate different materials such as books, posters, projects and much more that include different aspects of diversity as well as elements from different populations around the world (i.e. race, identity, and culture). My classroom will be safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where students feel comfortable and prepared to

I believe that education is an individual, unique experience for every student who enters a classroom. In order for children to benefit from what schools offer, I think teachers must fully understand the significance of their job. I consider teaching to be a lifestyle. I believe that the best teachers have a deep rooted passion for what they are doing. As professionals enabled with the education of adolescents, I believe that teachers should promote learning and growth academically, individually, and honorably.

As an early childhood educator, my job is to create a learning environment in which my students can succeed to their highest potential. I believe that one of the most important ways to do this is to create relationships with your students and in turn, model how to form meaningful relationships among other students in the classroom. In other words, it is important to me that I create a safe, welcoming, trustworthy community in the classroom. Having this type of environment supports the success of each student. It is astonishing to see how chaos and disorder in the classroom, due to lack of respect for one another can have dramatic effect on learning.

This past year as student-intern I have learned so many new things that will help me become the teacher that I hope to become one day. Not only have I learned things that relate to myself but such things that relate to how my students learn and what might need to be done to help accommodate them and their individual needs. Adolescents are going through an extremely important stage during their lives and as educators we need to provide them with the correct information in order to help succeed. They experience many changes physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. All middle level students are going through the developmental process and they need to have a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere where they can grow intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and morally.

With the increasing ethnic and cultural differences in schools across the United States, education needs to address that not all children come from a traditional household or have the same backgrounds as would be traditionally expected. Muslim, Christian, Jew, and Secularist may be classmates so the thin lines of political correctness need to be treaded lightly. I would teach based on my standpoint but give alternatives that make sense and still work within the realm of academia. Of course I think it would be best if the students were taught of all the contributions of other societies so that they learn to appreciate the world as a whole by teaching all aspects of history that pertaining to diverse leaders in innovation and important historical moments. Not just that , however, I would try to teach (while still on topic and not roaming off reservation of course) from the various viewpoints and allow the children/teens/young adults to understand the various aspects of certain issues including racism, anti-Semitism or other religious persecutions, wars, opinions of opposing sides and why certain issues happened.

It is my objective to create a motivating classroom that will assist students in critical thinking and to become self expressive, inquisitive, and empowered pupils. As a future educator I often think about stimulating questions such as “how is education good for the individual student?”. I believe education focuses on values, attitudes, and behaviors that aid in strengthening students to become further efficient on working on developing their own solutions and determining their own decisions while formulating their thoughts and emotions through a dynamic learning experience. I hope to formulate a curriculum that emphasizes the importance of the learning process, creative choice, and problem solving strategies through a student centered

Writing holds a central place in everyday life, from talking with friends and family to navigating academia and careers. We are all constantly being bombarded with information, assignments, and tasks that require our ability to navigate a highly literate world. As I continue my transition into the world of adulthood, the demands on my literacy skills will only go up. Gallagher who summed up the importance of literacy in the Information Age says it best: “Today, writing is foundational for success” (4). My role as a teacher of writing is an important job, one that, if done well, can tremendously help students to flourish in this new age.

Education and volunteerism have always been important to me. My grandmother made it clear that not going to college was not an option. I am a first-generation college graduate in my family.

Like progressive education, I believe that students should make meaning through the learning process. Hands-on activities, class discussions and informative peer reviews all allow the student to enjoy the educational growth process. For example, a student-based class discussion will expose the students to various viewpoints, social contexts and other ways of thinking. I believe that children should learn how to effectively communicate, how to problem solve, how to become a respectful citizen and how to develop an investigative approach to learning about all

Teachers and students have an obligation to promote equality, justice and respect for others. If we want kids to become globally competitive and lifelong learners, we need teachers who create learning environments which encourage this to happen. For the first quarter of a century of our lives, our main “job” is learning. The bulk of our time is spent in classrooms acquiring new knowledge.

Hello, Dr. Kindall and everyone, My Philosophy Regarding Education is that every child can learn and achieve their goals. Not every child is an “A” student, but when we empower that child with the right tools, they are able to accomplish many things. Children needs to know that sometimes they may fail, but that does not define them or their ability to accomplish their goals. By encouraging, the students to develop a growth mindset and not a fixed mindset, giving them the power to keep try repeatedly until they reach their goal.

Oh…. I REALLY wanted to be teacher… I wanted to be an educator, until I was about ten years old; that’s really all I could ever talk about. As a youth coming of of Flatbush Brooklyn, I realize that sometimes a mentor is all a child needs. At this stage of my life, part of me felt that my family and my teachers were the only people that truly cared about my well being.

I believe that every child has the potential to be great, although “greatness” can mean many different things to many different people. Nevertheless, I also believe that every student is deserving of an education that gives them the basic tools to achieve their full potential, thus achieving “greatness”. Education as a whole should be both focused on providing individual students with a chance to succeed, as well as being the primary means of preparing the next generation, both academically and socially. For example, encouraging autonomy in the classroom enables students to flourish in situations even beyond school boundaries (Brighouse, part one). In essence, education exists for the purpose of empowering students to be good citizens that

I structure my teaching goals after keen observation of each students strengths, weaknesses, and learning patterns. I want to help students build their fundamental foundation for future learning throughout their career. I want to get the best out of each student so they can become independent and formulate their critical thinking skills. I encourage each student to be an active learner and reader. I strongly believe traditional classroom teaching alone is not enough to achieve excellence.
