Becoming a teacher is not always easy, but understanding my philosophy and where it comes from is something I value very much. Within this paper I will discuss the content, methodology, role of the learner, and the role of the educator and how my philosophy plays a role in each of these areas. Although, there are many different viewpoints, I would like to help others understand my own beliefs and attitude upon how history has shaped where things are today. Let me begin with the content of what I
to have the best teachers. I believe the best teachers come from those who constantly strive; to be their best, to inspire, to motivate, to help children/students, and to make a difference. I want to make a difference and I want to take part in helping to educate the future generations. To achieve this, I must focus on what it means to be to be teacher in my eyes, what my values and philosophies are, and how I want my classroom to feel, and remain true to these ideas. As a teacher I plan to put forth
quote by Tom Peters best summarizes my philosophy of teacher leadership. As a teacher leader, it is up to me to inspire, direct, and encourage others so that stronger teacher, administrative, and student leaders may be born from the process. Teacher leadership involves collaboration between teachers, administrators, and teacher leaders with the goal of positively impacting the student learning environment. With student learning as the ultimate objective, teacher leadership “becomes an indispensable
going to a small school, I got know most of my teachers on a personal level. I looked up to some of my teachers in school and was always amazed how they can change someone's life. I grew close to two specific teachers in my High School. One being my science teacher, who I keep in contact with today. He pushed me to do and be the best I could, and to live with the results. He also pushed me towards going to be a Physical Education teacher because he could see my passion for sports and could see the drive
How does a good teacher be awarded such a title? What exactly defines a good teacher? Did they not give homework on Fridays or were they the one who helped you finally understand calculus? Either way, they most likely exhibited a complex understanding of the pedagogical competencies along with a development of their own. They had a clear understanding of what their wanted to accomplish, defined their style, and can intertwine static and dynamic content. They also learned how to effectively communicate
Rakibul Khan TEACHING STATEMENT TEACHING PHILOSOPHY My teaching motivation is a resultant of my current position as a lecturer and formerly teaching assistant, professional development experience as trainer and trainee, industrial experience as professional water modeler and own academic experience as a student. My philosophy in teaching is hinged upon the impression that fostering the attainment of the conceptual theory is difficult without commingling practical skill sets to facilitate further
As a future middle school teacher, I know I have much to learn. I have to learn how to effectively make engaging lesson plans that meet the academic standards of my content, I have to educate myself on how to efficiently and promptly determine all of my student’s different learning styles and motivation, and I have to learn how to professionally build classroom management and a safe classroom environment, while still developing a sincere relationship with my students. However, of all the things I
the world. Everyday a student learns something new. To be a teacher to me means to be the best educator, you can be, to help, to learn, and to change. With being a teacher comes great responsibility. You are the person the students look up to, the person they turn to when they aren’t sure what else to do. I want nothing more than to teach a class and have my students walk out with knowledge because I believe that’s the best thing a teacher can give. “teaching is the greatest act of optimism” (Colleen
have to put those experiences to use One of my earliest, and favorite memories as a preservice teacher was the summer before my 12th grade year. That 11th grade school year I was in the Teacher Cadet program at Ridge View High School. I was asked if I wanted to tutor a kid, named Asher, going into the 4th grade after that summer.

begin my career as an educator, I have come to realize I will never stop learning. There will always be new ways to teach math, new mechanics to teach readering, and new ways to explore scientific theories. I will continue to learn how to aid my students in their cognitive growth, but my students will not be the only ones learning while in my classroom. My students and I will spend seven hours a day, five days a week together. I will have an uncountable number of opportunities to help my students
