Education : My Philosophy Of Education As A Teacher

2) I believe sharing support of ELLs and ensuring an inclusive approach relies greatly on the teachers themselves, specifically the classroom and ELL teacher. Fairbaim & Jones-Vo mention two things that I believe would work these are collaboratively planning lessons and co-teaching. By planning lessons together, both teachers are on the same page, They each understand the respected needs of their students and able to work together to create ways in which lessons are excited to optimize student success. I also think having another person perceptive is beneficial as their teaching experiences may offer you some guidance. In terms of co-teaching, I think this directly benefits the students. We all have different ways of teaching and I think students

Currently, I am responsible for managing the science instructional programs and personnel in a chartered middle school. As a supervisor for the department, I develop/source curriculum materials for teachers and collaborate with them to plan and implement instructional lessons daily. I manage the financial resources for the department and constantly monitor the teaching practices that will impact our organizational goal and vision.

Ever since I decided to pursue a career in the field of education, I always wondered what grade level best fitted me. Could it be Elementary, where children have been stereotyped as uncontrollable little brats, Middle School, where the students are depicted as uncontrollable, rebellious students, or High School, oh gee whiz? I have decided that I would pursue a career in Elementary School. The grade level I hope to teach is at the elementary school level. My current goal is to either teach the 4th or 5th grade level. Moreover, throughout the semester I have read about or seen different philosophies through the observations I have done throughout the semester. While reading chapter 6 in the class text I thought to myself, as an educator

Deciding what you want to do with your life is a very difficult decision that every person has to face in their lives, especially during their teen years when people are expected to choose a career that helps them to fulfill their dreams. Since I wasn’t the exception, and I had decided how I wanted to help people from a very young age, it took me a bit longer to realize I didn’t just want to help people, but I also wanted to do it by doing something I enjoy and love. That’s when I chose English pedagogy, because it is a way to help people by giving them the tools to learn and the possibility to achieve what they want in their lives through education and the learning of the language I like. This three years I’ve spent studying to become a teacher have not only made me learn more English, but have also made me realize that I want to keep improving my skills as a teacher, deciding to continue

My teaching philosophy is to create an environment that stimulates learning so that students gain the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to become proficient professionals. While teaching foundational knowledge is important, there are other essential skills and abilities that students must acquire in order to successfully transition from being a student to becoming a physical therapy professional. These skills and abilities include thinking critically as well as interacting and communicating effectively with patients and other health care practitioners. I emphasize to students that it is imperative to realize the impact of developing a therapeutic rapport with patients while providing quality, patient-centered care to optimize the healing process. Therefore, when deciding what to teach, I not only consider the content presented, but also how I can foster discussions with students so that they can apply information based on varying contextual factors. I also attempt to provide students a framework for how to achieve professional excellence, which I aim to model as I fulfill my roles and responsibilities as a teacher and provider of clinical instruction. This framework is rooted in five central tenets:

As I progress in my undergraduate studies, I find myself growing an appreciation for education and lifelong learning. I did not always know that I wanted to be an educator and perhaps I did not initially choose this path for the right reasons, but throughout this process, I have found that I have had a change in the source of my motivation. When I first stepped foot into the classroom as an educator, I was intimidated, I was nervous, and I had doubts in my decision to spend the rest of my life standing in front of a classroom, teaching a room full of children. It was not until I was able to make a connection with each of the students that I began to realize that teaching is so much more than being an instructor. Teachers are an inspiration; teachers are supportive; they are a positive influence, an academic advisor, a life coach, and are encouraging; teachers are not just an instructor. Through my various field placements at Newcomer Academy, Louis E. Dieruff High School, and Southern Lehigh High School, including my teaching experience at Lehigh Valley Summerbridge, I have established a desire to teach a diverse group of students from various economic and cultural backgrounds. My teaching philosophy is developed to foster an environment that supports these types of learners.

Further, the purpose is to learn how to develop relationships that will enable students to work with their peers, throughout their schooling and beyond." So, to my understanding of the purpose of education, it prepares us all for the future and for us to be a productive citizen so that we can be useful to ourselves and for our country. The role of the teacher in education or in school is to teach the young ones to become a better person as they can be. In other words, the teachers make changes in the lives of the students. The role of students in education is to learn and prepare themselves for the future. The curriculum is there in the education system to guide the students in learning for their betterment in their family, community, and for

Through the classes I have taken at Wilmington University and my experiences in the classroom, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my future classrooms. I chose the teaching profession because I understand the challenges and responsibilities that come with teaching young minds. Children are our future and I am confident in my ability to help students reach their potential both inside and outside of the classroom.

Write your Personal Philosophy of Teaching based upon your reading and learning in this unit. Refer to aspects including: attributes of an effective teacher, student engagement and motivation, catering for diversity (500 –800 words).

Being a good teacher to me means motivating students to reach their potential. Good teachers reach to their students at different intellectual, social and cultural levels. They are enthusiastic and have

Teaching is rough, as rough as the seas on a stormy night, and calm, like that after a storm. To be prepared for all cases a teacher must have a detailed guideline and understanding of their own response and what they deem best. In creating such a resource now, before diving into a classroom, a teacher can have time to develop and broaden their philosophy of teaching—be prepared before they take that fatal plunge. So, in order to be best prepared for my future endeavors as an educator, I believe it is in my best interest to lay out a personal philosophy of education—a lay out that will aid me in times of need and a way to gauge change, progress, and growth through my Simpson College career. In doing so I will be prepared to be the best

Teaching, or empowering young minds is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It is full of challenges, frustrations, and responsibilities. However, it is a task that is also full of adventure, wonder, and gratification. I strongly believe that all children are capable of learning, if they have the proper motivation and direction from their teachers. All students deserve my time and full attention in regards to their education. One must create a classroom that is a safe learning environment for all. If students do not feel safe in my classroom, whether it is emotionally, physically, or socially, their defense systems will go up and learning will greatly decrease, if not shut down all together. It is important to me that my students, as well as their parents, other teachers, administrators, and people in the community, see me as someone they can approach, who will be fair and nondiscriminatory

My philosophy of education is basically modeled in my thoughts on what makes a teacher valuable to his or her students and to his or her school. In my opinion, an effective teacher is someone who generally cares about the quality of the education the students are receiving. My memories of great teachers always come back to someone who put time and effort into their lesson plans, offered their time to students who wanted to learn more, and cared more about the students as people rather than students. As an educator, things aren’t always going to be black and white and there will be outside influences that can affect the quality of a person’s teaching, but I think educators should be willing to dedicate the time needed to make their lessons fun and well thought out. In my classroom, I would like to keep my students involved and interested in the new material and

I myself have a very positive outlook on life. I am very determined, dedicated, and

Being an educator is definitely something I have always known I wanted to pursue. Although I have had other thoughts in mind, such as being a performer or professional athlete, teaching is something that I have always seemed to go back to. When I was in Kindergarten, my oldest brother was diagnosed with Cancer. I was only five years old at the time, so I did not really have a strong understanding of what was happening. All I knew was that my brother was really sick and I was scared. However, through all of the hospitalization, doctor visits, checkups and treatments, my teacher never left my family’s side. She always made it a point to see how we were doing and see if there was anything either she or the school could do for us. I remember she especially tried her best to make me feel comfortable at school and take my mind off of what was going on. And at that time, I knew that if one person could have such a big impact on me the way my teacher did, then I wanted to do that for someone too.
