My Teaching Philosophy : My Philosophy Of Education

Education is one of the most important things we learn in our lives. As a future educator my personal philosophy is to instill the values of cooperation, fairness and justice into the hearts of our students. Students need guidance and support in many areas of their life. A teacher can make a drastic difference in a child’s life. It is important to teach our future innovators to think critically, help them to see their worth, help the student to engage in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Letting a student have a voice in what they enjoy and what class rules should be can result in a positive learning experience. Creating teacher-student relationships and supporting them in play, passion, and helping them find their purpose will help support them through their failures which are positive learning experiences. Progressivism is a philosophy that supports this type of learning. Teaching academics with a progressivism outlook, it can help students with their outlook on the democratic society. Students can learn how to create their voice, what they believe, and increase their knowledge to achieve their goal along with teacher support.

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.

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

When I first began teaching over twenty years ago, I do not believe I had a clear idea of what my vision of education was. I was hungry for knowledge myself and took every opportunity I could to attend professional development and implement new curriculum and instructional strategies. During the early part of my career as a teacher, I developed a

As a student in the Education Department at Saint Mary’s College, I have been assigned a set of eight standards to fulfill before graduation. Having these standards guides all students in becoming the necessary well-rounded teacher candidates needed to go into the field of education and ultimately becoming a successful teacher in the future. Each standard relates to a different area, including having a broad and comprehensive understanding of learning processes, the professional environment, and content. Throughout the last two years, I have had a number of opportunities, both in the field and in my classes at Saint Mary’s, to meet these eight standards.

Therefore, by being admitted into this program, I feel I will be in the right path into becoming a trained teacher with some exposure on how to manage a classroom, work with diverse learnings, learn some pedagogical skills, present and develop lesson plans, and observe teachers. As a future educator, I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and achieving success through the guidance, dedication, and support from a teacher. My philosophy and teaching styles may change throughout my teaching career, and I want to remain receptive to suggestions and open for improvement. Teaching young minds is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It is full of challenges, frustrations, and responsibilities. However, it is a task that is also full of excitement, wonder, and

Through my vast experience within schools, my teaching pedagogy evidently displays my proficiency to teach including a diverse range of schools and students. The teaching pedagogy I implement is surrounded by the various learning and holistic needs of the students.

Through my professional seminar as well as my field experience, I was able to develop and determine what were my values regarding teaching. While I initially thought that my goal as a teacher was primarily to help out students and make their learning meaningful, through working and interacting with teachers at my host school, I came to the conclusion that this must be done by showing students the connection between what they are learning and their real life. Moreover, the teacher must not only be knowledgeable of their material, but they must show that they care about the students learning. More specifically, an effective teacher involves one who understands their classroom and their students and knows which strategies to use such that every student has an opportunity to succeed.

All conscientious teachers are interested in their students’ success, believing fervently that success in the classroom can propel success in life. Student achievement becomes the teacher’s motivating force; those devoting their lives to education do so emboldened by a recognition of education’s promises and prospects.

Passionate and authentic teachers understand that the teaching profession is more than a job; it represents his or her identity. A teacher’s ultimate goal is to help his or her students enhance his or her knowledge, develop skills, and realize his or her potential. In order for an educator to help his or her students succeed academically, professionally, as well as become a member of the educated citizenry society, he or she must view the world that he or she lives in through an educational lens, and transform what he or she sees into a lesson plan (O’Donnell, Reeve & Smith, 2012). An educator’s lesson plan is a representation of a teacher’s eagerness, and ability to educate

The teacher is the single most significant contributor to student achievement, with an effect twice as great of that as parents, peers, entire schools, and poverty (Hanushek, 2005). In teaching, you have to believe that every single student has the ability to learn and improve and that you have the ability to make that learning happen. Recall that when students perceive their teachers as someone who cares

It is important to develop a philosophy of teaching and learning. Our philosophy drives our passion for teaching, influences our teaching styles, sets our core values, provides strength during challenges and constantly reminds us the importances of self development and learning.

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.

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:

Teachers continue to pursue the passions of teaching. Those teachers who are effective and more successful over time increase their own students ' success. However, for those who cannot live off a
