A classroom philosophy is fundamental for an effective educator, for not only does it set up one 's classroom but it also sets up the type of teacher that one wants to be. A classroom philosophy dictates everything from discipline to the way one presents information. It is the driving force in a teacher’s classroom and is often times directly related as to why that teacher wants to teach. Due to its importance, it is critical to examine a multitude of different philosophies before crafting one’s
Effective Teachers Use a Variety of Educational Philosophies Being a school teacher is something I have wanted to do since I was a very young child. I believe education should be a part of everyone’s life because it helps students to develop a sense of creativity, a sense of reasoning, and a sense of respect. There are many different philosophies used in the classroom ranging from social reconstructionism to essentialism. My philosophy on education is a combination of my ideas and
Personal Classroom Management Philosophy As a teacher, I believe one of the most critical components for facilitating student’s learning journey throughout their schooling years is to have a strong knowledge and understanding of classroom management theories and strategies.

I want to recognise that an effective teacher will develop this view over time and it will be ever changing depending
I will organize my classroom as displayed in the diagram above. I will have an instructional loop so that I will be able to access all of my students easily. In my classroom, I will have a collaborative table so that I will be able to work with a group of students at a time while others are working at their chairs. There will be room in front of the smart board so that students will be able to stand up and move around to use that instructional tool while I am educating them. As a class, the circle
My Educational Philosophy "Let experience be your teacher. Let challenges be the test of life!" ~Unknown Education is an experience that without a doubt no one can avoid at least for a while. While this process should be positive sometimes it can seem more negative. People should not look back at their education and perceive it as a “bad” thing or a waste of time.

Within the classroom, it’s very important to have classroom management. To successfully run a class doesn’t automatically mean that the children have to sit quietly and not talk or interact with each other. It’s actually the total opposite.

My Philosophy I believe that children have the right to a proper education when they are in the care of childcare providers. As a caregiver, it is my responsibility to provide the children in my care with a positive learning experience. According to Dr. Fed Jones, on whom I have based my philosophy, children who are fully engaged in learning and are taught self-discipline are better behaved and motivated. I believe that children should be informed of the class requirements and the class rules from
My Eclectic Educational Philosophy Thinking back on the years of high school, I remember having wonderful experiences both inside the classroom and out. I had influential teachers and the drive to succeed in order to obtain a higher education. I realize that not all students have that drive to continue their education, but as an aspiring educator I wish to seek and find that drive in each of my students.
