My Philosophy Of Education Statement

As a teacher, my philosophy of education focuses on the individual child and their educational needs. I would like my students to feel comfortable, develop their communication skills, and build positive character traits. Along with encouraging the children to grow in a positive way, I will treat children equally for grading along with providing them with the skills they need in order to achieve the most they can academically.

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.

As a future teacher, I believe that the students in my classroom will need to be disciplined rather than controlled because I believe in their ability to develop self-discipline when given the chance to do so. I think that students are basically good, but there are students who may become disruptive when they are under or over-stimulated by the content, work, or even personal life. Based on this belief, I think that students need to be taught to handle situations where they are prone to misbehave, but most importantly they need support from the teacher in order to learn this behavior. I believe that all students are equal in a sense that they should all be treated equitably to meet each of their individual needs. There is no single student who is more important than their peers no matter how good of a student they are

     Have you ever had a teacher you really enjoyed? Why did you enjoy him? For most people it is because the teacher interacted with the student and made them feel involved in the learning process. As Carl Jung puts it: “One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” (para. 249).

My teaching philosophy of education is being able to recognise that all children learn in different and unique ways. I believe that all students should have a safe learning environment which enables them to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. As a teacher, I aim to act as a guide for student learning and provide demonstrations and understanding to all students. More specifically as a physical education teacher, I aim to bring a positive and encouraging attitude to the students and incorporate cooperative games that involve every student regardless of abilities. I aim to create atmosphere where students feel they can ask questions about their personal learning and reach their full potential. Teaching physical education, I

We are living in a moment of deep historical mutation in which traditional meanings are dissolving. This makes it necessary to re-think the certainties in which the Essentialist thinks. Bringing us back to the basics of life with core curriculum. My philosophy beliefs on education are based on Essentialism and Progressivism. Essentialism is grounded in a conservative philosophy that accepts the social, political, and economic structure of American society. While Progressivism has a respect for individuality, it is believed that people learn better through active interplay with others.

After taking the Educational Philosophies Self-Assessment test, I was able to figure out my referencing scores for my ideal logical instructional principles believed rational of the classification of educational archetypes. The areas of greatest influence in my philosophy of education included Humanism with a total of 21 points, Perennialism and Existentialism with 18 total points in those areas. Essentialism was second with 16 points and Reconstructionism record surveyed. The purpose of schooling is to build productive members of society and the philosophy I scored the highest on reflects the way I see teaching as an entity. Humanism is the theory or belief that learning from the perspective of human potential for growth can shift of influence cognitive dimensions of education for the student. “Humanists also believe that it is necessary to study the person as a whole, especially as an individual grows and develops over the lifespan. It follows that the study of the self, motivation, and goals are areas of particular interest” (Learning Theories, 2016).

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

Will there ever be a perfect way to teach or learn when obtaining an education? Will anyone ever find the perfect teaching or learning method that will suit every human being in the universe? Have you ever asked yourself what education means, what it stands for and what purpose does it serve the human nation? Does everybody have the same philosophy when it comes to education? As far as I’m concern, everyone is different, not everybody will have the same mindset. To me, education means so much more than what it traditionally states in the books, internet and dictionaries. To many, education simply means gaining knowledge in schools the old fashion way which is through textbooks taught by teachers. Supplementary to that, society have

My teaching philosophy involves different aspects of teaching. However, due to the fact that I was raised in another country, with different educational values from that of the colleges I have experienced in the United States, my teaching philosophy might differ from that of an American college student. I believe one of the most important aspects of teaching is to teach students to think independently and to think critically of the material that society provides.

My teaching philosophy is a discussion-based approach. In my view, students are best learning when they are going through vigorous discussions and debates among themselves on relevant topics regarding course materials. Under the outcome-based education system, students have to memorize lots of course materials for writing good essays in a standardized format during examinations. This teaching and learning approach is, however, demotivating both lecturers and students to learn and to think of new ideas out of existing ideas available from course materials. Therefore, believing that teaching and learning are most effectively executed by discussions on courses materials, I believe that the role of a lecturer is to facilitate students to think deeply about the issues that they are interested.

My philosophy is that teaching is building lifelong habits so students have the skills, knowledge, and motivation to be successful learners. My role as a teacher is to engage students’ interest in learning, to create a supportive learning environment, and to provide resources for all students in my classroom. My relationship with students is one of encouragement, structure and patience. I encourage all students to be actively involved in their learning and I use a variety of methods to encourage discussion and interaction. Some methods I frequently use in my teaching are questioning techniques, gradual release of responsibility (I do, we do, you do), educational protocols like pair-share, and incorporating the use of technology with students. In creating lesson plans, I consider students’ developmental needs and learning styles.

As a teacher one looks forward to the beginning and the end of a school year. The beginning of a school year brings in new minds and attitudes that a teacher can influence and educate. Students also bring with them new ideas and knowledge that a teacher can use to work with them. My objective as a teacher to is to get students acquainted with major works of literature and allow them to dissect the different meanings of the texts while fostering critical thinking. Literature works as a way to allow students an insight to a writer’s mind and the time period they resided in. The pain of a poet or writer I inscribed in their writing and this is one of the main thing that a

I believe that progressivism educational philosophy most closely matches my educational ideals. In my opinion based on the progressivism educational philosophy, the purpose of education is to enable students to learn useful knowledge that has meaning to them in the future. Thus, the most useful education for students is the skill of “learning how to learn”. When students understand the methods of learning they will be capable of learning useful and meaningful knowledge for the endurance of their lives. Successfully educated students will have made the transition from having their learning experiences guided by a teacher to being able to

The learning experience should be that of a collective nature where students are able to indiscriminately relate to the information, re-teach the information and have a balanced incorporation of all the learning centers in society; including the home and the church. The goal of this incorporation is to create a balanced learning environment that facilitates holistic development in the young mind. As professionals entrusted with the shaping of young minds, teachers must facilitate learning and personal, spiritual, ethical and academic development. My philosophy for education is a multi-part philosophy that encapsulates the idea of holistic and inclusive learning. The philosophy caters for the overall shaping and development of the young mind and includes aspects of balanced training, incorporated teachings and it generally focuses on training students to become teachers.
