The first day I started observing classroom, I was clueless about what I should bring, whether I should take notes, talk with the students, or observe quietly. I knew my professor expected me to learn something from this experience and therefore I would need a way to truly reflect on my experience in the classroom As an International Baccalaureate school, my school teaches a set of character attributes called the IB learner profile. One of these qualities the IB seeks to promote in its students is reflective. To promote this quality in its students, my school incorporated a variety of reflective activities including self-evaluations, whole class discussions, and exit tickets. My experience at Sage International School has given me important …show more content…

Throughout this semester, we have reviewed the various available theories of child development, and how they relate to pedagogy. One theory I believe has been highly influential to my beliefs about students’ abilities was proposed by British philosopher John Locke. Locke proposed that children are born as “tabula rasa”, meaning blank slate, and as they develop their experiences leave impressions on their so-called tabula rasa. (Burns) Locke’s theory has been influential in the development of my beliefs as seeing children as blank slates places the responsibility of educating and shaping young individuals on teachers and parents, which I believe is its rightful place. This belief, shaped by Locke’s theories, has been further reinforced by what I have observed of students, how they are taught, and what they are taught in the classroom. Watching the process of building comprehension in students, particularly special education students, fortified my belief of all students can learn because I was able to see student, regardless of their abilities, are able to succeed and advance when given the proper tools. This is where the teacher and their obligation to the student is of great importance, as regardless of the student’s abilities, the advent of a

With the idea of obtaining newer weapons for war use the idea of a country one upping another paved way to militarism which was the main cause of World War 1. Militarism, as defined by wikipedia, is “the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability” the idea of new and more effective weapons was extremely appealing to many countries, with each of the countries trying to metaphorically ¨one up¨ each other during war.

My educational philosophy has been in development for 15 years. It is a product of my own experiences in school, as well as my opinions on what skills should be taught, and to what extent different components of the child should be developed. The academic, social, emotional, and cognitive development of the children can be heavily influenced in PreK and kindergarten classrooms. It is dependent on the teacher to conduct their classroom in a manner that successfully facilitates the development of each child’s faculties. As a future teacher, it is critical that I enter the classroom with a clear philosophy in regards to how I believe education should be conducted.

My first reaction to having to read True Education by Ellen G. White was “oh great, I have to read another Ellen White book.” Throughout my life I was preached at about how Ellen White said such and such, meaning if I do not follow what she says I am a rebelious and unrighteous person. With this being said, I am glad that I was able to put my negative thoughts aside and dig deep into the topics, because after reading the book I have gained some new ideas and perspectives on how to go about educating in the classroom. However, I am only going to focus on the few that really stuck out to me. Some of them being able to comprehend the nature of human beings and their purpose, using several different teaching tactics, and the need for teachers and parents to work together.
