My Philosophy Of Educational Philosophy

They will analyze and describe this in the verbal and written communication. They will be able to continue the classroom experience in their own lives through discussions of the value of art that they will share with their families, friends and other acquaintances.

“They can express their thoughts and feelings,” she said, noting the fine arts “enrich students lives and practice of creativity. Creativity is important,” she said, pointing to a group of students who are likely to face, as adults, “challenges we cannot envision.”

Albert Einstein once said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” This quote describes the responsibilities and standards of teaching children. I believe that teachers should be held to high standards for being the foundation of a student’s education and well-being. For my future students, my responsibilities as a future educator include supplementing the growth of a variety of students’ knowledge and creativity, abiding as a role model for students and colleagues, and understanding the issues in the foundations of education.

Every day, children are greeted at my door with a joyful, “Hello my most amazing artists!” However, after opening a new school, I noticed these students did not see themselves as artists!

“I don’t think of myself as an artist, I really don’t. I think i’m more of a facilitator, I think I’m more of a guide, a coach. I give you machines, I introduce you to tools on the machine, and I give you opportunities to do things with what you know about that machine. That’s my gig. That’s my job.” He would state passionately, his voice stern while retaining a calm undertone. Mr. David Holicky isn’t a teacher, he’s a coach teaching students who have grew accustomed to being taught what to do from Step A to Z, letting their artistic skill be their guide rather than showcasing what it would look like. Each of the 42 students, split evenly between Holicky and Sellers feel the comforting vibe the room brings. It’s different than a normal room some have grown use to, Metallica and AC DC along the walls with

This video takes place in a public high school AP studio Art class with a heterogeneous grouping of students with diverse artistic ability. In the video the teacher is demonstrating printmaking and how to create a Plexiglas engraving. Once the teacher demonstrates the proper techniques for printmaking and engraving she allows the students to then create their own artwork. The teacher walks about the room providing feedback for the students and asking them questions. As the teacher poses targeted questions and provides constructive criticism the students are able to reflect on their work and make improvements as needed.

In Creative Schools, the second potential solution is the recognition of student’s unique abilities. A quote about this potential solution is, “All students are unique people with their own hopes, talents, anxieties, fears, passions, and aspirations. Engaging them as people is the heart of raising achievement” (Robinson and Aronica 56). This quote represents the main idea from this solution, recognizing and supporting the talents of students instead of shutting down their unique skills. The source of this factual evidence is the fact that all students are unique in one way or another. This reform an revolutionize the system and how students are perceived.

Creativity is one component that will enhance my ability to become outstanding teacher. Creating an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming as well as challenging can broaden the students ability to seek and learn new information. In order to provide the best possible education

Ever since the first grade when I would hear the wheels of Miss Arthur’s art cart coming down the hall to our classroom, I could feel the excitement of what was to come. The knowledge that we were about to see something wonderful and get to try our hand at it. To this day when I step in a classroom I get the same feeling, a feeling of endless possibilities. The art room is a place for hands on learning that lets the student explore mediums and problem solve in their own unique way. When teaching art I constantly ask myself “Is this something I would want to do?” because if I wouldn’t want to do it, then I could not sell the idea to a class full of students! If I am excited about an idea I will be able to express this

According to TeacherVision, “Most teachers have discovered that parents can be very powerful allies in any child 's education—from preschool up through twelfth grade. Keeping parents informed and inviting them to become part of the educational process can significantly influence any youngster 's scholastic success.” (TeacherVision, n/a). When it comes to welcoming parents into my classroom what I would like to do is have an Open House. This is a great technique for welcoming and partnering with families before school starts. Having a open house will allow parents and the teachers to get to know each other on a personal level. According to TeacherVision, “It 's also a wonderful opportunity for you to actively recruit parents as partners in the education of their children.” (Teachervision, n/a). At the open house I would provide food and popcorn for a snack. During the open house I will encourage the parents to join the PTO which is a great way to establish and build a positive parent teacher relationship. I will also show them a PowerPoint presentation. In the presentation I will include things such as who I am, important phone numbers, e-mails, school’s web site, classroom procedures, expectations, rules, and what will be taught during the school year.

Students should be engaged and willing to learn more about what they are learning. With art there is no need for you to be good at it. Art is depended only on the artist himself/herself. If students view art as just another subject then they are missing the academic value art gives. Students have said that art should be viewed as an extracurricular activity or exploratory classes. Art goes beyond having artistic value and surpasses the idea of one's own limits. Some people see art as an elective class, or a hobby class. According to Allyono17, one of the authors of Teen Ink magazine, explains the importance of the beneficiaries of the present by saying, “First, art and music classes don’t seem to be used on an everyday basis. There is no point in learning and spending time on a class that won’t be needed in your future” (Allyono17).

With the utilization of visual and performing arts, students can begin to enhance their personal growth. By producing original works, enjoying the time spent on the piece of art, and having a sense of pride in one’s accomplishments, an art student will experience an increase in self-esteem and confidence (Importance). A child who receives praise for their art work from parents and teachers will most likely be more positive in their artistic abilities. For example, when a child brings a painting home to his parents and his parents react with smiles, cheers and display the picture on the refrigerator, the student will in turn feel very proud of his accomplishments. This newly found self-esteem and confidence often expands into other subjects at school to the overall benefit of the individual. Participating in art is also a way for students to

When I think about what I want my classroom to look like, I want it to look like the kids are enjoying being there and are learning something. I think it is very important for the kids to learn while also enjoying going to school. What I want my classroom to be like is, the kids will learn about the rules and the way I want my classroom to be ran and while learning the rules I will make it fun, I don’t want the kids to not want to come back to my classroom because I’m so strict. I don’t want kids who are perfect at math or language I want kids who are willing to learn and help the learn from their mistakes while learning about the math and language topics, I want to help them prepare for the world and tell them that It will be okay in the end. And help them understand their learning skills.

As I continue to progress through my teaching journey, I have had the opportunity to do a lot of self-evaluation and dig deeper into what makes a great teacher. Since then there has always been a quote that has stuck with me, stated by Seymour Simon, an award winning children’s science author. “I'm more interested in arousing enthusiasm in kids than in teaching the facts. The facts may change, but that enthusiasm for exploring the world will remain with them the rest of their lives.” I truly believe that as an educator it is more important to teach them how learning can change your life as compared to drilling facts that can possible change. The student’s love for learning will last a lifetime. With that being said, over the past years I

As a future teacher in today’s society and generation, I believe the educational system must accommodate the individual and the diverse needs of each child. Many factors should be thought about when forming a philosophy on education. Factors as far as the increase of single parent families and dual careers, the family structure is changing and this may play a significant part in our students. Furthermore, the issues such as teen pregnancy and drugs and much more, children are facing more complicated issues than they ever had before. A sound philosophy on education must be developed within the framework of social value systems. Our children are our future resources. All children can be guided to become well adjusted, functional and intelligent adults for their own benefit and the benefit for others in society. An educator should motivate and stimulate each child to perform to the best of their ability. Regardless of the various experiences, abilities and needs of the child. Therefore, all children must be well educated and given the opportunity
