When I was learning about teaching in college classes my philosophy of education was different than when I actually started doing my student teaching. As soon as a teacher enters the classroom, it should be his/her second home.
Teaching is a field of occupation where teacher needs have these two personality traits: patience and flexibility. Not all teachers are same thus each has their unique way of teaching students. My philosophy for teaching is very simple and fair. I would like to incorporate fun element when teaching so that students are more interested and engaging when learning. Teacher should be very respectful to each and every student in the classroom as every student has a unique personality. I believe teaching is one of the more difficult jobs, as you have to balance teaching students what they need to learn in education and in life.
Philosophy of Education I believe that everyone develops his or her own teaching style. My philosophy involves imparting just the right amount of guidance. With appropriate guidance, every student is capable of a higher level of success in academics. These can be done by promoting creativity, emphasizing on the importance of education, and letting them think independently. Students have their own strengths and weaknesses which make them unique. Teachers should work on these attributes by incorporating the ideas of students themselves. Specifically, I believe that conducting an assessment at the end of the lesson can
I see students as the next generations’ heroes in so many fields. In my vision, I have to inspire students and prepare them with confidence, knowledge, experience and skills. Which means I encourage, communicate, guide, teach, and assess students in order to enrich their infrastructures.
In regard to how I teach, I want students to discover facts, not just learn them by rote. Information Systems is an ideal field for such a teaching strategy. I live by the quote, “All things are common sense if taught well.” I think in my subject this is especially true. I work to be successful at teaching students how to discover information, they will have a more effective way of absorbing the background data and looking at new information when it is presented. I find ways to simplify difficult material in a manner that is usable and easy to remember.
2) I believe sharing support of ELLs and ensuring an inclusive approach relies greatly on the teachers themselves, specifically the classroom and ELL teacher. Fairbaim & Jones-Vo mention two things that I believe would work these are collaboratively planning lessons and co-teaching. By planning lessons together, both teachers are on the same page, They each understand the respected needs of their students and able to work together to create ways in which lessons are excited to optimize student success. I also think having another person perceptive is beneficial as their teaching experiences may offer you some guidance. In terms of co-teaching, I think this directly benefits the students. We all have different ways of teaching and I think students
I believe that every teacher should have well-strucuted lessons. The teacher should be able to adjust to practice while the lesson is being implemented. The teacher should be able to recognize if she students may be struggling and how to adapt the lesson to the needs of those students. The teacher should be able to reflect on the lesson after the lesson and learn how to change the lesson if needed.
Through my experiences working in the education field and the classes I have taken at Cal State LA, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented in my future classrooms. My experiences working with middle school and high schools students have led me to pursue a career in teaching. For three years, I worked as an Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) tutor at my former high school helping students with their homework and problems they face. AVID is a college preparation program designed to help high school students become motivated and prepared to enter a four-year university of their choice. I also was fortunate to work at the CSULA Reading and Writing clinic as a teaching facilitator during their Summer
I believe the goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in various circumstances and contexts. Although every child is capable of learning, a child's desire to learn is a vital to mastering new skills. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning. Accommodating different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning for children. The instructor needs to be a prominent factor in showing interest in the subject, if the instructor does not show interest in the subject and a passion for learning, students are less likely to put forth the effort needed.
In my opinion, perspectives on teaching should be changing over time to mesh with teaching strategies that are used in the classroom today. With this being said, it is important for teachers to be aware of the historical, social and political foundations of education. Since education has changed drastically over time, there are a lot more restrictions and teachers need to be sure and pay attention to understand today’s education system. I personally believe that children are also impacted by these changes and it too affects their feelings towards school and their teachers. By personalizing different teaching styles to fit my student’s needs, I will commit to their education to help them achieve whatever they set their mind to.
We tend to teach as we were taught or we adopt the teaching methodology of the
I agree with Perrone as teachers, we need our own way of teaching. Students learn better from teachers when they have different ways of teaching. Students learning abilities are different, and not the same teaching method works out for everyone. Not two students are the same, and their learning abilities might be different. I found Perrone’s words inspirational because, he says that teaching is not always telling and studying, it sometimes means that you actually have to do in order to learn from it. Teachers play a huge role in student life. Each and every one of our past teachers had taught us something. Especially our elementary school teachers, who had shaped us, and had taught us and influenced how we are right now. “There has always
My teaching philosophy is a learner centered one and I believe in experiential learning where students learn by doing and taking an active role in their learning. For example, when I work with students of any level, I want them explain to me what they see when interpreting an imaging study, and allow them to explain why they arrived at that conclusion. I also try to allow the student some level of flexibility and control over their learning process and attempt to adjust my teaching style to best serve each student as an individual. I prefer to give explicit skill instructions when I teach procedures, to allow the student to learn procedures within a safe enviroment, with appropriate graduated responsibility. I feel that students need to learn
This way of teaching is different from the traditional classroom setting, with the instructors being known to teach at the students. This philosophy consists of the professor teaching, as well as learning with the students. Over time it has been shown that students respond well to a give and take between instructor and pupil. Unfortunately, many schools are all
“Teacher’s change lives.” Most people would agree that this statement is true. A teacher has the responsibility of imparting knowledge to students, while having the opportunity to make a huge impact on each student’s life. To be truly successful and effective, a teacher must take the time to thoroughly consider his or her teaching philosophy. The following is a statement of my educational philosophy.
Every teacher has a different method of teaching. The teachers that I have had in my school career have been no exception. In this way, each teacher has set an example for me, as a future teacher, to follow or not to follow as I see fit. With the examples from my teachers and in continuing my education, I am developing my own method of teaching. I plan to use a combination of teaching methods in my own classroom. My method will be an eclectic approach because I will be using components of more than one philosophy. I will be using essentialism, behaviorism, progressivism, and existentialism.
My philosophy of teaching is deeply rooted in nurturing the potential each and every student in my classes. Providing a creative environment that allows self assessment, growth, group interaction and mentorship are at its very core. Having taught in Higher Education for many years, and as an instructor of Media Arts and Animation, and Game Design, I have had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the brightest and creative young professionals. Teaching has not only broadened my love of art and exploration, but my determination to help students that do not have the confidence to persevere through their education, yet have the passion to follow their dreams.
My teaching philosophy is to create an environment that stimulates learning so that students gain the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to become proficient professionals. While teaching foundational knowledge is important, there are other essential skills and abilities that students must acquire in order to successfully transition from being a student to becoming a physical therapy professional. These skills and abilities include thinking critically as well as interacting and communicating effectively with patients and other health care practitioners. I emphasize to students that it is imperative to realize the impact of developing a therapeutic rapport with patients while providing quality, patient-centered care to optimize the healing process. Therefore, when deciding what to teach, I not only consider the content presented, but also how I can foster discussions with students so that they can apply information based on varying contextual factors. I also attempt to provide students a framework for how to achieve professional excellence, which I aim to model as I fulfill my roles and responsibilities as a teacher and provider of clinical instruction. This framework is rooted in five central tenets:
