Educational Philosophy & Practice
Every child can learn. Children are unique individuals and need a positive learning environment that is secure, nurturing and thought-provoking which allows them to grow physically, socially, cognitively and emotionally. As an educator, my goal is to help students achieve their maximum potential in these areas by providing a secure environment that also invites risk-taking and peer sharing. Three elements conducive to a positive learning environment are:

1. Respect- for everyone, for everything and for yourself

Classroom discussions that encourage student input helps students to feel heard and be free to express theirselves in an acceptable manner. This builds confidence and security, both of which contribute to a safe and warm environment.

Quality teaching includes lesson planning and delivery method selection with consideration for a variety of learning styles in order to appeal to the student’s interests which helps to foster intrinsic motivation in the self directed learner. By providing sound examples, short demonstrations, comprehensive reference for students to self check, along with clear expectations, the teacher can guide the students on their path to

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. Teachers need to be creative to engage students and teach in a way that works with their individual learning style.

This approach requires a much greater amount of commitment as it asks the students to be active participants in the classroom, not to mention the fact that such a drastic change can be hard for students to adapt to. Cases like these can be seen in our very own classrooms where energetic teachers try to encourage their students to be an active member in the classroom discussion but the student remains quiet for variety of reasons like they’re too shy to speak or they have nothing they deem productive to say.

Every classroom that I have been in for my practicum has implemented a positive learning environment and I feel like I will have no problem with this when going into my own classroom. I also believe that the practicum experiences that I have had at more diverse schools has helped me to value and support student diversity and address individual needs more than before. It took a little while to get used to because I grew up in a school that had no diversity at all. I also think that I will have no problem creating a safe learning environment for students. When writing my educational philosophy I thought and thought about things that could help create a safe environment and how I will make every student feel physically safe, as well as, safe from embarrassment.

A strong, outstanding teacher must manage the class efficiently and have some level of structure.
