Teaching Philosophy Statement

I feel that as a teacher I should always strive to be understanding, creative, patient, and kind with all students that I cross paths with. It is important to be patient and understanding with students because everyone learns at a different pace, and as a teacher, I need to understand that and promote learning to every student. Being patient and understanding in the classroom will allow my students to come to me with any problems they may have without a second thought, and could alleviate anxiety in my classroom. I want to be someone students know they can come to for help, and I want my classroom to be a safe space for everyone to relax because when students are comfortable and relaxed they will be able to remember information and learn more …show more content…

When students see something that they are interested in, and that is relevant to their life in the classroom, they will be more engaged and pay closer attention because it is something that pertains to their life outside of school. I will incorporate the students' cultures into my classroom, and make sure that each student feels recognized for who they are, and I will tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs to ensure the highest level of understanding and education. If I have gifted students in my classroom I will make sure that I have work that I can provide to them that expands on the lesson we are learning about, and if I have students that need a little bit of extra help, I will work with them individually or in small groups to ensure they understand the material before moving on. I will use formative and summative assessments in my classroom to test my students' knowledge of a subject and see if I taught the material in a way that worked for them. I will give different forms of assessment, such as self-assessments, projects, written tests, asking questions out loud, and more, and I will see what works best for my students and implement that method in my classroom more often. I will give formative assessments often to make sure that I am not moving too quickly through my lesson and to make sure that all students are understanding before I build on the

). By showing them passion and being enthusiastic I would motivate them to achieve their targets. Wallace (2006), states that if outcomes are not achieved by students the lesson is not achieving the primary purpose. This is why assessing plays a significant role in the learning process. Formative assessment gives feedback about the learners’ progress through the course and a summative assessment is carried out at the end of the course and this is a formal way to check if the learner has met the outcomes of the course (Gravells 2014).

However I do know that when a student is being assessed the teacher is not only learning about the student behaviors however that teacher is also learning about themselves and their behaviors (The Young Child Development from Prebirth Through Age Eight, n.d).

This approach allows students to showcase their knowledge and skills in a more authentic and engaging way, while also promoting creativity and collaboration. Another solution is to focus on formative assessments, which are ongoing assessments that are used to track student progress and provide feedback for improvement. This approach allows teachers to tailor their instruction to meet the needs of individual students, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

My role as a teacher is to guide each student in providing access to information that will benefit him or her in the real world. I should first have the knowledge of the students’ interests to be able to guide them and teach them. I will develop a curriculum around the students’ interests to motivate them to learn and work hard to master the skills necessary to reach their goals. I will incorporate themes, projects, presentations, group work, individual works, and hands-on learning to mold them to be active students. Students learn a lot better when they have a first hand experience of what was being taught to them instead of just giving them the lesson because it expands the student's’ knowledge.

Truly caring about people is a blessing and a curse. As cliché as that sounds, it will be the most uplifting, yet harmful trait I will have to conquer during my years of teaching. I believe the teaching world is still struggling to truly define what it means to teach a child. Many teachers are still overlooking students in the classroom. Many teachers are still failing to recognize the potential in each student.

It is important to have respect throughout the classroom, both between students and between teacher and students. When students feel respected and a sense of belonging within the classroom they will be more likely to participate and contribute. My desire for them is to feel at ease - never hesitating to raise any questions or concerns that may arise. To ensure this type of environment I will hold classroom meetings to strengthen our classroom community by having everyone support and encourage one another. It is important to me that every student feels safe in my classroom and feels like they can approach me with any issue they may

I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.

An assessment activity provides information to be used as feedback by teachers and their learners in assessing themselves and each other, to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged. Such formative assessment is used to adapt the teaching to meet learning needs. (Black et al,2002). A variety of formative assessments were used in my teaching and learning process to engage learners’ current/past knowledge to new learning before the lesson, to know how to progress their learning during the lesson, to determine where improvements can be made and identify the next steps of learning. I usually share the learning objectives with the learners to know what I expect them to be able to do after they have learned it and what

When having assessments as the teacher it helps them know where their students are at with the lesson and it makes the students know that learning is an important concept in school. By students realizing this it makes them take school seriously and want to do well in class.
