Teaching Philosophy Statement

1057 Words5 Pages

Many people tend to ask me why I selected teaching and my response is simply because it gives me an opportunity to change someone’s life. Throughout much of my years there has been a constant struggle to figure out my purpose in life. Will I be remembered when I’m gone as a good person or a horrible greedy one? Truth is that teaching gives me the chance to change a life and I do not want to be striving for riches, but instead create opportunities to save lives. I love kids and seeing someone succeed due to hard work and dedication is something I have always admired and enjoyed witnessing. People today and even teachers forget the magnitude and impact they can have on a student’s life. I know that by being a teacher, I can achieve great things, …show more content…

I see myself in them and remember how I always wished there was someone who could guide me to a better life, but luckily my friend saved me. Some students are not so fortunate like me and what I want to be is that wish for them. I want to be someone they can trust and look up to. In all honesty, I could become a lawyer or a doctor if I wanted to, but instead I chose this profession because this is where I belong. Of course I may never become a millionaire doing this, but for me it has never been about the money. It has always been about changing and saving lives. Teaching allows me to become that miracle student’s need in their lives. You can’t save them all, but save the ones you …show more content…

Every teacher’s goal at the end of the day will be to get these students to pass the state exams and certainly it will be one of my goals. It is in my view, very important they keep moving on towards a better future, but my main goal is much more than helping students pass a state exam. I want students to all have the opportunity to go to college, and for those that choose not to, I want them to take what they learned from me into the real world. It is my job to help these students realize their full potential. Everyone has the talent and attributes to be great in my opinion, but what sometimes students lack is confidence and the eye opening wonders this world has to offer. Learning is such a beautiful process that can open doors to infinite careers. I want my students to learn how to reason and think for themselves because when they are able to do that, I promise you, America will become much stronger. Education is the key and the problems we face today can easily be fixed, but we have to find the root cause of the problem and I believe it starts in school. Whether you are Black, White, Hispanic, or Asian, it is my goal to help every student succeed and go beyond their wildest dreams. Inspiration is what they need to succeed. I do not want any of the fame nor awards for being a good teacher because what really matters are the students, not my own personal achievement. I want to be someone they can look up to and admire. It takes hard work, dedication, and sacrifice to

The Cold War was a conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, that also caused many damages to other countries such as Vietnam, that later got involved into their own Cold War – North Vietnam (Democratic Republic of Vietnam with its capital – Hanoi) against South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam with its capital – Saigon). Today, I’m going to be talking about the social and economical state of Vietnam after the Cold War. I’m focusing on three main things that were affected after the Cold War, which are: Investment and trade, agricultural production, and how Vietnam’s economy developed after the Cold War.

These careers are among some of the most important professions that have impacted the world in a major way. Good teachers have taught our presidents to read and write, laid the foundation for our surgeons to perform live-saving surgeries, and provided the basics to our judges and lawyers to keep criminals and delinquents off the streets.

My desire to become an elementary teacher was formed by my vision to be able to help children understand that they are important in all aspects of their lives. This vision not only helps me be a better teacher but also helps me be a better person. This vision helps me understand that all students are able to learn, but may need a different way to see things. Each and every student is different and processes things differently. My vision is a foundation to show children that this is not a bad thing and that it can actually be helpful in their personal progress.

As a teacher, the goal is not only to help teach, but to also watch the students thrive. Teachers are known not to make a lot of money, but they still continue to love their job. This is a prime example of how self-fulfillment is a top priority in a teacher's life. Everyday the teacher knows she is helping kids who may or may not use the information she is providing in the future, and still continues to work. This

To achieve this, I will work on creating a classroom that values diversity, creativity, and critical thinking.

I want to be an educator because of the teachers in my life who encouraged me to reach my greatest potential. In these teachers I saw an unrelenting desire to make every student better. To contrast, I have had teachers who made me feel like I was not worth the effort to help steer me down the right path. There was a clear favoritism, and a desire to help those who were in their good graces in a much more involved way.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

Being raised in a household with two parents who have both worked in mental health and education, I knew I wanted to help the world in some way. I was not quite sure how yet, but I felt like it was my calling to somehow improve the lives of others. Throughout my life, I have heard both my mother and father tell me stories about the people they have helped, and that they knew when they left this earth, it was far more valuable to have improved the lives of others than to have made a lot of money not helping those around them. This led me to my first real step towards teaching.
