Education is the cornerstone of successful long-term impact for both students and society. It influences personal interactions with each other and offers a positive foundation which lives should be based. When an individual does not obtain a strong education, their life may be affected in a negative way. An uneducated individual may not be able to support themselves or their families. Individuals that are educated may have a better ability to make sound decisions that may affect society as a whole. This paper will address my personal philosophy and opinions concerning education. One aspect that will be addressed is the idea that an individual can learn in areas other than a classroom. Another aspect is that not all individuals learn …show more content…

Every individual has the ability to learn, however, there are no two students that are exactly alike. Of course, natural intelligence is found in some students and not in others. Some students lack motivation that is sometimes fueled by their home life. If education is encouraged, the motivation to learn may be natural. However, there are times when a student lacks the will to learn at all regardless of their home life. In contrast, a child raised in an environment that is not conducive to education may take an opposite approach and yearn for further …show more content…

A few of other facets include social class, gender, race, sexual identity and age. Students may live in different parts of town, speak a primary language other than English and have different backgrounds. My perspective of diversity is based mainly on experiences with individuals of a different ethnicity than my own. It is important that I be able to recognize each student as an individual. This can be accomplished by being an active listener and being aware of potential barriers. The barriers may include racial or ethnic discrimination by other classmates, bullying and low self-esteem. As a good teacher, I will be able to connect with the students and will address their needs. The goal I have is to embrace challenges and provide more opportunities to learn and grow. Command to love one another is the desire of Jesus. He does not command that we only love people who think and act the same as I do and I am not commanded to love only the people who look like me. The importance of understanding diversity within the classroom is valuable and will allow me the ability to show empathy when it is

Through discussion on the discussion board, Dexter (2014) highlighted the importance of creating connections with the students in initially identifying diversity in the classroom. Stuart (2014) agreed that finding an initial connection was a key element of identifying classroom diversity. Additionally, Dexter (2014) suggests on the discussion board that keeping a daily journal of students to monitor the success of learning strategies would be beneficial. Given the multicultural demographic of the practicum school’s location, which includes ancestry from approximately thirty countries including Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2011), it is extremely likely that there will be a degree of cultural diversity in the upcoming practicum classroom.

Moreover, Sutton, a former student and current principal at an Alabama high school, has learned with his years of experience that “‘Once another race tend to be around another race, that would tend to give them a different perspective’” (Morris, 12).

Diversity is key to helping students develop into understanding humans are all different and become more aware of the world and cultures around them. According to the article “The Importance of Diversity in Books”, Dilloway, an author of middle-school level texts, states how “it’s also important to read about other peoples experiences, and understand what it's like to walk around in their skin” (Prescott 1). Diversity in books exposes children to learn about people who might be different from them and step into someone else’s shoes. This helps them show the challenges and problems other people have that they might not face.

As a person, I would have to say that I am friendly, intelligent, and above all very musical. When I told people that I wanted to go into music I would get the same response from everyone “I couldn't see you doing anything else.” I knew that I wanted to become a music teacher when I was in 9th grade after attending a unique musical summer program, and from that point, I have been striving to get better at what I love most, music. From there, I had to decide what colleges I wanted to apply and possibly go to and one of the first places that came to mind, the place where both my chorus and band teachers attended, the Crane School of Music located at SUNY Potsdam. The Crane School of Music has been ranked one of the top schools for Music Education in the United States for quite some time and has boosted a near 100% job placement rate for the last handful of years.

All students deserve to be treated fairly as individuals. When considering the diversity of the class members, we will celebrate the uniqueness that the differences contribute. Because I have high expectations that all my children can be successful, adjustments may be necessary because everyone is not the same (Burden, 2017, p. 115). It is vital that a spirit of understanding and edification is active amongst the students and from the teacher (Romans 14:19, King James Version) to produce fruits of mutual respect: reduced bias, positive academic outcomes, enhanced problem solving, and healthy group dynamics (Cousik, 2015, p. 54). For differences that stem from culture, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, the adjustments will involve bridging the cultural gap between the students’ diversity and the curriculum.

Different people have different problems. These include personal life, mental state, or parental problems (see Figure 2 below). Study skills cannot teach the student how to avoid these problems. The student needs to learn to be motivated because if there is motivation the student will be more confident. Also, he needs to study in a good environment to be psychologically comfortable because when the student feels free and happy, he can do his best to get good grades.
