My philosophy is constantly evolving as I grow as a teacher. As I continue to learn, along with my students, I try to remain open-minded and willing to grow as a teacher. As society and best practices continue to be molded and shaped, I too will be like clay and continue to mold myself to be the best version I can be for my kids.
For me, the most important part of teaching children is caring; our children are the future of this world. It all begins with caring for children and what becomes of them, because when I care, they care. In caring, we have to remember that every child is different. They have different needs and wants, weaknesses and strengths, beliefs and values, as well as goals. I believe every child has the potential to bring something special to the world. This is regardless of home life, personalities, capabilities or issues – I will help …show more content…

In a classroom, you have to remember that every child is different. This means that instruction must be individualized to students in order to provide challenges and support to build on and develop positive attitudes about learning. My goal is to create children who are life-long learners and creative thinkers. I want to teach them to make good choices, work cooperatively, and most importantly to be kind and responsible. My role as a teacher is to give children the tools to grow their knowledge. In order to do so, I will make sure to create engaging material through the use of themes, hands-on learning, integrated units, games and by using technology to create active learners. All lessons created will be relevant to students, whether this is creating content tied to their favorite song or just tying the material to their lives. All materials and lessons planned will strive to move children toward being caring, active members of society who thrive. By doing these things, I hope that each of my children will love coming to school each

The overall goal is for all students to be taken care of while in the classroom and to gain the knowledge that they need in order to be successful in life. My goal is to become a teacher and I will continue to work for the goal that my ancestors created many years ago. Every student deserves to be able to walk out of the classroom having learned how to become a responsible citizen that can change the world. In early Arkansas education, teachers taught in small one-room schoolhouses, instructed many age groups of kids, worked in unideal conditions, and taught all of the basics in the “Three R’s”. All of these challenges were to make sure that their students had an education.

Our goal for this program is to promote healthy social and emotional child development within the classroom. Because social and emotional skills are vital for cognitive development at a young age, we will try different methods for ensuring that these skills are met. Our ideal goal as teachers is to help students develop intrinsic motivation that will hopefully allow them to become life-long learners. According to the Mozart Study, when children are engaged and enjoying an activity they have more motivation to learn. We will try and provide an exciting environment within the classroom in order to actively engage our students.

Impacting a young life has long-term significance. In some cases, the impact a teacher leaves on their students has the potential to reside inside of their hearts for the rest of their lives. It is my desire to be a role model who inspires my students to be the best version of themselves, and one who leaves a positive lifelong mark. Furthermore, I believe it is of utmost importance for a teacher to make a connection with each student early in the year. These connections are essential for students to develop a commitment to their learning.

Marva Collins said it best when she wrote, “When someone is taught the joy of learning, it becomes a life-long process that never stops. That is the challenge and joy of teaching. Students need teachers who believe that all children are achievers and who take personally the failure of any one child.” While all teachers should believe every student can succeed, the question that always remains is how does a teacher ensure every student achieve their goals? Teachers implement a variety of techniques that are integrated with the hopes of advancing the educational ambitions of their students.

The facets of a classroom are a mystery to me but a mystery I’m eager to discover. As I obtain more knowledge about how schools and classrooms function as well as the expectations placed on teachers, I feel myself slowly shaping how I would like to teach. Though it is certainly an idyllic perspective, new, and largely based off of my personal experiences from the six different public schools I went to I believe that optimism remains the best approach toward success. I know that with time my opinion on my role as a teacher, my perspective of a diverse classroom, how I will teach my students, and even where I teach are all likely to change; however, I feel as though I now have a foundation to begin on. Why I want to teach feels like it should be the easiest question to answer; however, it remains the hardest to put into words.

These children will be customer service representatives, and business professionals, brain surgeons and fry cooks; literally everything that is accomplished by “adults” today will be completed by “children” thirty years from now. The loud obnoxious student in the back of the class building paper airplanes will too be part of the society we inhabit. These are not just children; they are pre-adults in need of preparation for the real world. Therefore I believe it is imperative that all children be given the opportunity to sit in a classroom, to be challenged and then changed, by the information provided to them.
