My Original Teaching Philosophy Statement

Teaching Statement When I think about teaching I think about my coaching philosophy, which has developed from 15 years of experience. A coach has tremendous influence on the physical and psychological development of their athletes – young and old. The primary responsibility of the coach is to enable their athlete to attain levels of performance not otherwise achievable: therefore, coaches need to develop skills to motivate athletes and establish the right conditions for learning. Being an effective

powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Through my twenty-two years of experience in the classroom and my educational courses, I have developed a teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my classroom. I am continually learning new strategies to make my classroom a positive environment. My hope is to constantly change in ways through my attitude and teaching style to help my students be successful in learning Biology. I will analyze my students’ needs and prepare lessons accordingly to

My Philosophy Statement Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because

Teaching From A Design Perspective Developing a philosophy of education is more than asserting a love of wisdom in the theory and practice of teaching. It may be heartening to feel, but it lacks backbone. For a philosophy to have weight and merit, it needs truth, logical strength, and soundness. (Hughes 19) My philosophy of education asserts the following premises that if we teach: learning as relational; creativity as skill; and knowledge as design; then, we create an instructional approach that

Philosophy of Education If I had to pick one view that is most compatible with my own view and learning and teaching it would have to be Constructivism. If I got to choose another one I would go with Cognitive. Constructivism is a view that focuses on the active role of the learner and a Cognitive view sees learning as an active mental process of receiving, remembering, and using knowledge. Both of these views see the role of students as an active role; an involved role. I believe that we

Kathleen Bateman L25951340 EDUC 604- DO8 LUO Dr. Zabloski EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY 2 Abstract Learn anything… Learn everything. One of the biggest differences I noticed while teaching overseas in Asia for seven years is that students in Asia don’t get hung up on the “why” part of education as much as American students do. While it is important for students to question and think critically about a lesson

Personal Mission Statement Education is the imparting and acquiring of knowledge and skills through teaching and learning. As an educator, my personal mission statement is to master my subject area in order to serve as a role model for my students thereby producing students who thoroughly understand the subject matter, and who develop holistically. In order to achieve this goal I must have a set education philosophy with a strong Christian worldview. I must also have a general understanding of the

Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education is almost wholly derived from my own experiences as a student. I have always had a love of learning, but have not exactly felt the same way about school, in part because I was bored with the classes and material. My teaching methods and views of learning reflect the idea I have of how I would have liked my teachers to teach. Major philosophical approaches: My interest in teaching stems from my belief that

Educational Philosophy “He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” --Richard Henry Dann It is impossible to ever cease to learn because complete knowledge can never be attained and it is the nature of human beings to constantly seek new information to better understand the world around them. As Aristotle simply stated, “All men by nature desire knowledge.” It is not solely by our own initiative that we obtain knowledge, but it is also attained through the direction of other

risk and asked my students “What are some issues you may have with or have witnessed in education?” Of course I received answers that were somewhat ridiculous and facetious, but there were some serious, thought-provoking answers. My favorite answer that I received came from a highly intellectual junior. She said “originality is dead!” I couldn’t help but agree with her, but I teach theatre arts. I strive for my students to be original and create original work. I even have a poster in my room that simply
