MY PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION (INCLUDING CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT)
Our personal teaching philosophy determines our approach to instruction; therefore, it is essential to have a profound understanding of our own belief system. Ones view of learning and teaching is also affected by the values we believe in. I personally believe that the goal of education should be to encourage students to seek answers to develop their schemas as well as to facilitate their development of knowledge. Aside from academics, I also believe teachers should focus on instilling values in students such as the need for trust, fair play, and the ability to take prospective, also a desire to grow older and have a positive influence on society. While teaching I would like to take …show more content…

Teachers specify the rules and students know what they need to do in order to meet the behavioral expectations of the teacher (Newcomer, L., 2007). In addition to having these rules, a student centered approach to classroom management involves the students creating their own rules. Some examples of class rules should be as follows:
1. When I have something to say I should lift my hands.
2. I must respect others.
3. I will not eat during class.
4. When the teaching is speaking I will be quiet and attentive.
5. I will complete my work on time.
6. I will respect the property of the school and others.
7. I will use my free time wisely.
8. I will keep myself and my environment clean and tidy.
9. I will not disrupt the class unnecessarily.
10. I will keep my hands and feet to myself.
In addition to having rules it can also be very effective to encourage students to set achievable goals as it is an effective strategy that can be utilized to create a productive working environment. For learning to be effective, clear targets in terms of information and skill must be established (Marzano, 2007, p.9) This task can be applied by means of the …show more content…

Whether it comes in the form of gender, religion, race, language, socio-economic background, culture, or developmental differences there will be differences among our students, therefore, we as teachers are to develop an effective plan to cater to them.
The road towards eliminating classroom diversities can be difficult but not unachievable. Teachers may employ ways of catering to diversity by firstly helping them understand that society is made up of many different races and classes of people and all culture should be esteemed. Additionally, they should come to recognize that everyone despite their social standing has something of importance to offer to humanity. Each career path or job has an importance as well; therefore, they should be appreciated.
Teachers may also use teaching strategies such as cooperative learning which encourages the sharing of ideas and communication. Utilize hands on activities which may cater to everyone despite differences. Help students to succeed by encouraging authentic assessments such as skits and dramas. Moreover, they can also use the strategy of frequent repetition in order to facilitate long term memory in their students despite the level they are working at. Within-class grouping can also be helpful in catering to diversities: however, careful monitoring

I also think it is important to communicate to children and young people efficiently so that they understand what you are saying to them. Also you should be available to a child or young person when they want to talk to you and should take interest. Asking questions in the classroom is a good way in which to get all the pupils involved and this way when pupils are involved and no one is left out then this will get everyone together and will start to form stronger relationships with one another. Also when you praise a student for their good work then this will make them feel good and will make them want achieve more. Furthermore it is important not to make comparisons between each student because then this will make the child feel like they are less and this will start to cause problems.

I will bring participation, self awareness about my learning style and self-advocating. I have always heard in most forms of feedback that I participate heavily in all my classes and my comments are always thoughtful and applicable to the conversation at hand. Alongside this is my self awareness about how I learn. This is especially important when working in a fast paced environment with a higher level of difficulty as this course will be.

Many of their principles align with my teaching philosophy as well as my classroom management preferences. For example, on the very first day of school, my students and I will work together to develop a behavior contract that will contain the rules/norms of our classroom. We will brainstorm ideas together on an anchor chart, and then I will consolidate these responses into cohesive phrases. Once the “published” copy of the behavior contract has been presented to the students, and no changes need to be made, each student will sign the contract, indicating that they plan to abide by these rules every day, and if they make a poor choice, they accept the consequences that are to follow. The consequences for the broken rules/norms will also be discussed as a class.

A classroom should be filled with a wide variety of languages, experiences, and cultural diversity. An effective teacher understands the importance of culturally responsive teaching, and recognizes the significance of including students ' cultural references in all aspects of learning. Having an enriching classroom that engages all students does not mean making judgments about a student’s culture based on their skin color, gender, or socioeconomic status, rather it means knowing each student in a way that is individualized. According to the authors of The First Day of School: How to be an Effective Teacher Harry Wong, race, gender, religion, financial statue, and skin color is the least important factor determining a student’s achievement. Moreover, demographics and culture are not an excuse for students’ lack of achievement.

• Teachers: To me teachers are the main factor that influences and impacts student learning. Creating a professional relationship between teachers and learners, will maintain boundaries, which will mean the teacher will be respected, and seen as a gentle person, who cares about her students, but still has a certain amount of authority to her or him. There should be a continues recruitment for teachers who are effective, capable of handling pressure and managing difficult classes, as well as dealing with students who does not have the same life values, or behaviour patterns, as well as the necessary skills to make the students strive to achieve of what they are capable of academically, socially as well as culturally. The teacher should have an excellent understanding of what the set curriculum entails, as well as what is expected of them, as a teacher.

Teaching philosophy is described by Sadker and Sadker as, “Behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs - a philosophy of education – that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher’s role and what should be taught and by what methods.” (Teacher, Schools and Society. 2005). With this definition in consideration, my teaching philosophy is “I believe that children learn best when they are given the chance to choose, discuss and explore what they want to learn, when they want to learn and how they want to learn.
