My Philosophy Of Teaching Philosophy

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.

My education time will not be wasted on discipline problems. If I have a student who is being disruptive, I do not plan on calling attention to their misbehavior. I will simply place their name on the board. After their name is on the board, if they continue to be disruptive, he or she will be quietly separated from the other students until they can behave properly. I do not want the children to form the idea that they can receive more attention by misbehaving. I want them to strive to be attentive, well-behaved children. This behavior will be encouraged by praising the children when they are being good, rather than constantly calling attention away from the lesson to instruct a student to behave.

My personal teaching philosophy will always be growing. With each new classroom of students I teach, I will establish new and creative philosophies. I will create a fun and friendly environment that will make learning fun for my students as well as myself. I look forward to the endless knowledge, experiences, laughter, and memories that lie ahead for me in my teaching

When it comes to my educational philosophy, it is quite varied. I believe in leading by example since, as a teacher, I should be the students’ role model. I believe teachers should be very flexible with their techniques, as not all students learn the same way or at the same rate. Learning should be a natural process and is best nurtured through interest. While books are useful tools, other avenues must be used as well (multi-media, games, activities, role-playing etc). Students should look at mistakes as a chance to learn and better themselves, rather than as obstacles. Teachers should be fair in both punishing and rewarding students. As a teacher, I was always keenly aware I held my students’ futures in the palms of my hands. That is a responsibility I do not take

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

My philosophy of education is that every child should receive high quality education that is inclusive, relevant and meaningful to their life. I am a firm believer of making pedagogy relatable to my students. My vision is driven by my personal experiences with the American school system. I was what is thought of as “A child at risk”. I am an immigrant, black, Muslim student. My life is transactional as I am a part of multiple marginalized groups. Most of my teachers looked at me in a pity way. They always felt the need to feel sorry for me and to question my academic excellence when I performed highly on exams. There were numerous times in which a teacher asked if I received outside help with my work or

Theorist Fred Jones states “discipline is not punishment, it is teaching students how to behave appropriately in different situations” (Bandura, Margolis, & McCabe, 2006). Every child comes to school with different knowledge, upbringing, and experiences. Learning about the children in a classroom and their likes and dislikes can help a teacher engage the children to keep them focused on learning. I believe in the Jones positive discipline model which promotes improved teacher efficiency to avoid misbehavior in the classroom by highlighting student enthusiasm and positive rewards.

Once an individual becomes an educator, it is their duty to coach and help demonstrate as mentors. Mentors then become involved in the fundamentals of student growth where the art of learning is never over, especially for the teacher. Teachers can use a lesson plan to help facilitate student learning in which students collaborate with their mentors to establish a relationship with the mentors and then teachers and students become active participants in the learning community. There is always something to learn from the students, from other educators, and from the world in general. Dedication is at hand in order to establish a clear baseline between the students and the teachers. The relationship between them helps the educator meet

What was your motivation for becoming a teacher? What continues to motivate you now, to continue teaching?

My parents moved to the Philippines from Saipan due to some health and family issues. At the age of seven, I could say I had a simple life with my family. As I grew up, I saw lots of young students coming to class with an empty stomach, barefooted, and only has a piece of paper and a pencil to use in class. I also saw many teacher finding ways to educate their students even if they were lacking of books and teaching materials. Despite the circumstances that the students and teachers were encountering everyday, the smile and excitement they have in their faces makes my heart so full. The willingness of students to learn, as well the perseverance of teachers to teach gave my life an extra meaning. From that moment, I realized that I wanted to

Undergraduates in introductory psychology courses are often fascinated by the unique experiments and observations that reveal insights into human nature. It can be challenging, but also more rewarding, to help students understand the theories that try to make sense out of research. However, when students are able to understand psychological and educational theory, they are better able to construct the story of the human experience from birth through adulthood. As a teacher, the value and excitement lies in connecting the research and theory to students’ own lives, and to their professional development. To the extent that my teaching supports content knowledge, but also an

We, as adults, have a responsibility to teach and protect children. Teaching is one of the most crucial jobs an individual can have. Not only does teaching give students material to succeed scholastically, it helps apply knowledge and skills necessary for success in life. I want to teach so I can better equip children for adult life, while allowing them to be individuals and form their own personalities. At the core of my philosophy, there are four essential themes to teaching children: Emotional Development, Curriculum, Art, and Building Relationships. Albert Einstein once said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge” (BrainyQuote). Knowledge opens the door to the world while closing the

I personally believe that education is one of the most important things to achieve in life. No matter what it can never be taken away from you. From my observations and experiences in the classroom each child is unique in his or her own way. Students inside a classroom needs a teacher who will make them feel secure, comfortable and in a stimulating atmosphere. These aspects help to attain growth, mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to meet the needs of my students in any way possible, so that they are able to meet their fullest potential in life. Children are the future, so as a teacher I need to take all the necessary steps to get them to their fullest potential. I believe that the teacher should act as a guide, allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his or her learning, and promoting respect for all people are conductive to establishing productive students of tomorrow.

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:
