a community and that is important in a classroom. Developing a community is important because the students can learn new things about people and be more open to diversity. When thinking about how I want my future class to be, I realized that my philosophy listed above is a mixture of many different theorists. I took little bits and pieces of each and put them into what I want my class to look like and function
Philosophy is defined as one’s own personal beliefs and values. Philosophy in its technical sense might best be thought of in three aspects: an activity, a set of attitudes, and a body of content (Knight, 2006). Within this paper one can find my personal philosophy on educational assessments. When working with students in the learning environment, it becomes the responsibility of the educator to transmit information to pupils, then check for understanding. As part of the checking process, this entails
Throughout my career as an educator, I intend to motivate my student to make their learning experience an enjoyable one. I propose to intrinsically motivate my students over challenging yet supportive tasks and instructions. I aim to utilize supportive and preventive strategies when it comes to dealing with students’ behavior. I expected to achieve this goal by creating a learning environment that is harmless, comfortable, and conducive to learning. If the students do not feel safe in the classroom
I believe that education allows every student to learn, grow, and prepare for the world that awaits them. Through education, students learn how to read, write and count. Not only does education provide that, but it also gives students communication skills, how to work with one another and most importantly, teaches them to love learning. These qualities play a big role in student’s futures and lives. What I will do to help my students is create a classroom environment where they feel safe, but most
Four Major Educational Philosophies, gave an excellent overview of the major philosophies. It shows that each educational philosophy has a philosophical base, aim of education, a role for the educator, and a curriculum focus. Reconstructionism is aimed to improve society; the focus is that the student will become focused on all of society’s problems (p.1). Progressivism is used to help students learn through methods of problem solving and scientific inquiry, the roots of this philosophy are grounded
believe that all students are capable of learning and that it is the role of the teacher to ensure that each student, no matter their academic level, succeeds in the classroom environment. To achieve this goal, each student must be presented an educational environment where they are able to grow mentally, socially, and emotionally. Because each student is unique, I will assist each in developing their own learning styles. As a future elementary level educator, I believe that there are four essential
education, and hundreds of hours of professional development training over my career, it is easy to label me a lifelong learner. However, it is also quite valid to point out that I have spent the majority of my life helping—and leading—others in educational environments and learning situations. When I began teaching full-time, I had already completed more than 10 seasons of collegiate and high school coaching. I had also taught Speech and Human Communication at one of the universities where I coached
an educator the line between student and something else requires vigilant observance. Despite our emotions about a student, it is crucial to make decisions based on what is best for kids. Subsequently, from my experience the essence of my educational philosophy is based on willingness. Without willingness to accept change, forgive, and fail my days as an educator likely ended during George W. Bush
Every classroom has a distinct personality. This personality is composed of various beliefs, ideas, strategies and philosophies. While countless teaching philosophies have proven to be successful in the classroom, I believe a student-centered philosophy ensures a healthy and positive learning environment. When learners walk into my classroom, I want them to feel like they are entering a safe, creative, organized and exciting space. Students will be encompassed by vivid colors, vast displays of their
hope to be able to inspire many lives and help young people understand what education can do for them and their future and for this reason I entered the field of education. My personal traits, attitudes, values, and past experiences influence my philosophy and performance. Moreover, changes throughout my career have refined my future goals and enlightened the manner in which I aspire to grow
and our in-class discussions, the Enlightenment was a movement that helped to bring the western world out of the Dark Ages and greatly influenced the people initiating change in America. During this period of time, aspects of life, science, and philosophies of all sorts, were moving towards a direction of reason, as opposed to faith. Educated men were researching, studying, and discussing with other men about their findings and ideas. People were on-fire for knowledge. They were no longer “accepting”
This can occur through open sharing of ideas in the classroom and a judicious approach to discipline. One important part of my educational philosophy is classroom management. Discipline through teacher to student encouraged self-control, class rules, routines, and school directed procedures; this will set a good foundation for students that will lead to higher student achievement in my
As an educator, my philosophy of learning is constantly evolving to meet the needs of my students and reflecting on my own development as a teacher. It is my goal as a teacher to help all my students learn and grow in ways that are developmentally appropriate and efficient in shaping my students to be not only great learners, but wonderful people as well. I believe that while there is a general pattern for how students learn at each age range, there are also special considerations for the individuality
The power of education beings with a great foundation. I believe that we are all born with an innate drive to learn and every child should have the opportunity to experience the power of education in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment. For this environment to be successful, I will provide students with the space to express themselves, opportunities to explore their curiosity, and ¬experiences in which they are able to grow as individuals. It is my goal, as an educator, to help students discover
Educational Philosophy …”the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.” – Carol Dweck Being a father of three, there are few things more important to me than assuring my own children that I believe they can achieve excellence. No matter the goal or standard, set by them or me, they must know that I believe in them and that in time they will learn to believe in themselves. As an educator, my approach is no different. Excellence is the standard, and it is accessible
Education is the most important part of a child's development. If we look closer at education, we can see that it is more than just the subjects being taught, it is also the connections the student makes across their life. Schools are the social development grounds for children to teenagers, fostering relationships one will probably never see again in their lifetime. These diverse communities are essential to a child's development, opening their eyes to lives outside their own will create a welcoming
Becoming a teacher comes with great responsibility considering all the lives that a teacher could impact. As a future educator, it is my duty to learn how to be able to communicate with all my students. Being fluent in English and Arabic motivated me to become a Spanish minor so I would be able to help even a larger amount of people, but I still felt that I could learn more, which is why I hope to obtain the dual degree and dual certification. Being able to teach students with disabilities will allow
My background is not in the field of education, and I know I have a lot to learn. But I am passionate about becoming a teacher and believe that all of my experience will add value to my new career role. I have professional experience in many of the subjects that multiple subject teachers are expected to teach, such as math, social sciences, language arts, reading, and art. As a multiple subject credential candidate I believe it is important to have a well rounded education in order to give your
As a future educator, I am most passionate about creating a safe environment for my students by incorporating culturally responsive practices and social justice into my classroom. As a woman who struggled with anxiety throughout my childhood, I understand the value of inclusion, respect, and equity in teaching. It is imperative to offer students with a safe haven during their formative years in which they are free to make their own opinions and formulate their own unique personality based on their
Throughout my career as a student I have had the honor of being taught by a number of great educators, many of whom I still keep in touch with. I have been extremely blessed with these mentors, three of which are now my bosses. I started college with a vague idea of what I wanted to do with my future, and within three months of graduating high school I was offered a job as an AVID tutor by my former kindergarten teacher who is now the principal of my former middle school, my former high school AP
