Beliefs about Students-
I believe that students are more successful, when their learning is experiential. Students need time to work and figure things out on their own. When I was a student, I was much more successful when I had the opportunity to solve a problem on my own, rather than being led to an answer.
I believe that students are naturally curious. By modeling my own curiosity, I can encourage them to follow their curiousity and interest.To take advantage of my student’s curiosity, I will us pre-assessments and interest inventories to gather information on them. I want my students to share their interest and make choices in their education.
I believe that every student is at the end of day, a child, and ultimately needs love and support. …show more content…

This does not mean that my students would be allowed to run wild, but that the students would be able to move around and the classroom and interact with the other students. It would be a controlled setting where the students would know the rules and there would be consequences if they do not follow them.
I believe that teachers are the guide or facilitator of learning, rather than the lone source of knowledge in the classroom. By creating a classroom culture where students can work fairly independently, I will be able to be more effective in my instruction, collecting data and providing more one on one time as needed.
I believe that as a teacher I need to be flexible. I need to be ready for whatever happens and I need to be flexible to fit student interest and prior knowledge.
I believe that I need to be demanding as a teacher. I want my students to work very hard and I will do this by setting the bar high. I believe that students are full of potential and so I want to set them up to reach this potential.
I believe that as a teacher I need to have a curiosity for the subject matter. By modeling my own curiosity, students will see my interest and be engaged as

Rachel Hagebush EDUC 417 Michael Lesch December 1, 2015 Philosophy of Education I feel that education is a unique experience for every person. Each student and teacher possess different qualities that contributes to the classroom, community and the world as a whole. In order for students to learn, teachers need to understand that each student is different they have their own thoughts, beliefs, and learning styles.

My personal classroom management philosophy is to provide an equal, optimistic, learning environment. I believe the environment should be friendly, and students are all equals with the ability to actively listen to the teacher. The environment should be controlled and disciplined, but not authoritarian . Students are innately curious, disruptive and talkative. Rules will be set in place, however this is a learning environment so we will constantly work on appropriate behavior.

I feel that teachers must be passionate and committed to students, or consider working in another field. As stated earlier, these are my little lamb babies that need nourishment and care. We give them that through providing not only the best education, but also making them feel safe and cared for in our school family or “village”. Eventually, after a number of years as a school principal, my goal is to progress to district level where I can have an influence of many schools in the division. As a servant for the Lord, I will be able to sit at the table where policies are being made that impact more than one elementary

Teaching and learning is contingent on motivated students. Teachers must know how to inspire and sustain high levels of student engagement.

I am advocating for young children so the government will stop making cut to the Education. Children need funding in schools to get a good education so that they can learn skills like problem solving which will teach them to figure things out for them selves, to be able to learn the skills that they need in life to make in the world, and they need a education to be able to get a job. Knowledge is a very powerful thing that can change the lives of children.

My personal philosophy for ensuring student success includes promoting ownership of learning, communicating high expectations with students and parents, actively monitoring progress throughout the year and using data to implement successful interventions. I believe teaching students to be self-motivated learners who actively participate in their learning is key to student success. I encourage students to set their own goals, find ways to meet their goals, as well as reflect on their academic performance in class. I believe celebrating student’s strengths is the most important part of motivating and sustaining excellence in academic performance. A strategy I used during student teaching was holding post test “class meetings” in which the students formed a circle to discuss the results of their assessments.

Cooking is an exquisite art to master. It is one form of art that simultaneously achieves a goal while satisfying one’s craving of hunger. Each day in the kitchen is a new adventure to explore what one is capable of. Not only does the classroom environment provide the structure to set the precedent of determination, but it also prepare students to overcome any obstacle. Through hands on learning, students experience how it feels to become successful and learn how to deal with failure.
