Therefore, teachers need to reflect on their beliefs about education in order to keep motivated and teach effectively. This paper will present my own personal practice theories and beliefs about the learner, the teacher, and the subject matter. As well as to analyzing the importance of the classroom climate, the parents, the school leadership team and the principles of learning. Through my 20 years of experience in the field of education, I can say that learners are the ones who make teachers increase
(2002) states that “Their implicit starting point is often a set of commonly held beliefs about school, students, teaching and learning, and content” (p. 4). So if those creating the curriculum are imposing their beliefs, as an educator, I am inclined to do the same thing. In Christian schools, Christian teachers are bound by the religious beliefs and curriculum standards of that institution. They use their religious beliefs and set standards to guide their students both academically as well as religiously
Through my time in Education 100, my field observations, and the readings, I have come to the conclusion that I have strong opinions on certain issues in the field of education. One of my strongest beliefs is that student performance targets, school ratings, and support from the government for schools should not be based on student’s performance on standardized tests and state-mandated exams. Often times, especially in public schools, schools are given a ranking or a report card based off of how
assignment, I will identify my personal philosophy of supervision and evaluation. Currently I have been in the educational system for 15 years. Throughout this experience, I have endured multiple variations of supervision styles and evaluations. Some of the supervision styles / evaluation processes have proven to be positive while others have not. Even though some of the styles have not proven to be beneficial to my teaching career, or build my capacity as a teacher, all of these experiences have
Task Two: Developing Theory of Practice Beliefs about Learners, Learning, and Development A belief that I stand by; that I have held throughout the entirety of the Graduate Diploma programme, and my teaching experiences is my definition of learning. Learning is the ability to obtain new information, strengthen current knowledge, explore values, and acquire skills that benefit everyday life. Learning is continuous; it is not restricted to any specific time, nor place, religion nor culture. Every living
My beliefs and values about early childhood education is based upon understanding that all children are unique individuals who need a caring, nurturing, and secure environment in which to grow and develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Children under the age of three are in critical stages of development, it is my belief that a quality child care environment will have a positive impact on a child’s development and make a significant difference in the life of a child and his
Stage 1: Cultural Psychological Captivity The first stage of a typology of cultural identity is cultural psychological captivity. This is when a person begins to take in the negative views about his or her cultural group believed within the society. They begin to have a negative cultural image and low self-esteem. They reject their culture during this stage and want nothing to do with it because they are ashamed. Therefore, they begin to try to assimilate with the dominate culture. People who belong
all teachers should possess? When I finished my undergraduate studies, I remember thinking how important it was to find a job that I enjoyed. After moving back in with my parents, we sat down and had a long discussion about my goals and passions in life. Since I was old enough to work, I babysat my siblings and neighborhood children and had always enjoyed working with them. It fascinated my how children were explorers and natural learners from a very young age. With this said, my belief is that
As a teacher, there are many incidents when it is important to let children think for themselves. In the article, “Teaching Controversy” by Mark S. McCaffrey, the problem of teachers taking a stance on controversial topics is discussed. As a future teacher, do I influence the thinking of my students with my own thoughts or let them decide for themselves? For many, the answer to that question is pretty straight forward; but for others, they seem to think a different way. My first impression of this
personality is made by him/herself according to environment, religion, or society and everyone has a different belief and idea such as how they want to behave toward others or what I want to be on their own through their experience or life. Everyone has his or her own belief, philosophy, and dream but also I have my own concept. My philosophy of education revolves around why I want to be a teacher, my own philosophy of education, and what I want to do in future. After reading the nonfiction
