Philosophy of Education
My goal for my future classroom is to challenge the minds and knowledge of my students in order to see them at their full potential. I would like to see my students working together in order for the individual students benefiting from learning the knowledge of their peers. In order for my students to get the full benefits of the knowledge that they have acquired through interaction with their peers, group work has to be a key component. By encouraging group work, I am able to ensure that the not only the class is successful, but the betterment of each individual is successful as well. Interactions with peers can change the perspective of learning and can transform the learning environment as a whole.

In my classroom, I want my students to have the ability to express their creativity freely and experiment with their individual likes and dislikes in order to realize their overall strengths and weaknesses. Once established, the curriculum can then be molded …show more content…

As a teacher, it is your job to mold the minds of students in order to introduce them to new knowledge and experiences. Although challenges and frustrations can arise, teaching is something that is exciting and enjoyable. I firmly believe that with motivation and encouragement, students have the capability to learn new things and also find enjoyment in what they learn. As a teacher, one must be aware of theories regarding motivation, behavior, learning and development in order to relate to each student and push them to be the best that they can be.

Another goal that I have set for myself is creating a safe learning environment in the classroom for all students. Without students feeling socially, physically and emotionally safe, students won’t be able to learn successfully and will more likely shut out learning all together. It is my goal as a teacher to ensure that I am seen as someone who is approachable, nondiscriminatory and

Throughout my years of school, I have experienced a multitude of teaching styles and classroom atmospheres. While I don’t plan to become a teacher myself, I still value education and recognize the importance of creating safe and effective classroom environments. While there are many different ways to accomplish this, I believe there are certain values that need to be focused on in order to achieve it to the highest degree. Education should value independence, self-esteem, emotional needs, intellect, and more; however, the best way to educate is to ensure basic needs are met and foster the potential of students. The role of teachers in the classroom should be relative.

Personal Classroom Management Philosophy Underpinning my personal classroom management philosophy are two primary practices, fostering effective communication and building positive relationships. I will encourage students to be respectful, understanding, open and honest members of our classroom community.

Although they can still be difficult at times, I have developed a very positive rapport with these students over the year which affords me far less resistance to my instructions when compared to the same student’s response to their actual teacher. ‘As much research continues to confirm, teachers relating to their students remains one of the most significant factors in generating positive academic and social outcomes.’ (Keddie and Churchill in Pendergast and Bahr 2010, p.

My philosophy of education is that success happens when high expectations are set that enable growth in academics and behavior. I believe that ability grows with effort, as Dweck says, “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” A classroom should be a safe community where students are able to meet their full potential. Students should be able to express their ideas freeing them to question and ponder what they are learning.
