Education is about learning and teaching. Education has formed part of the human societies for decades and teaching is said to be one of the oldest profession. Education is all about developing knowledge, skills and values. Through this statement, I am going to explain my teaching philosophy with the help of philosophers. We must first consider the word human beings. “Human nature being what it is, however, it tends to seek its motivation in the agreeable rather than in the disagreeable, in direct
Being an educator, in my opinion, is the most important job in the world, because every decision matters. Through my experiences in the classroom, I have developed a teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my future classrooms. I truly believe that being a student and a teacher go hand in hand. I am continually striving to learn new things, to become a better educator. My main goal is to be a teacher that motivates and inspires my students. Philosophy of Learning A great teacher can create
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
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
Physical Education is beginning to become a lost art in our society. We see the obesity rate continue to rise and that is due to kids being less active. Technology has become necuance in the physical activity in our nation's youth these days. You are seeing little kids on electronic devices as of 5 years old that has put our country in this epidemic. Another issue is that schools are putting less and less of an emphasis on physical activity these days. Standardized testing has taken over the schools
Teaching is a noble profession which has been in practice for ages. Everything can be taught – from a simple way of living to teaching someone to build a house, for instance. When talking about teaching and learning, we usually tend to think about academic learning where there is a teacher in front of a class, teaching the students. The process of learning deals with acquiring alterations in the existing knowledge, abilities, and ways of life or predilections through experience, practice or exercise
MY PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION When I was first asked, “What is your philosophy of teaching special education,” I didn’t really know what to say. I have taught general education and specialized classes, but I have never taught special education before. Regardless of whom my audience is, my basic philosophy of teaching remains unchanged and is applicable to any audience whether they are general education students or special education students. My philosophy of teaching postulates
Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy is based in my belief that teaching one of the most noble acts one can provide to others. My prior STEM work experiences have motivated me to give back to the educational system that empowered me to pursue a career in engineering. My teaching techniques incorporate continuous improvement, frequent feedback, encouragement and high expectations. I especially encourage those students who feel they are incapable of learning math by explaining learning math
I want to do. When it came time for me to start considering what my future career would be, all I knew was that I did not want to be stuck in an office behind a desk every day. I wanted to do something where I could make a positive impact on other people’s lives, and be around sports. I wanted a job that would be interactive, challenging and exciting. While searching for something that would fulfill these goals I found that teaching could do just that as long as I do everything I can to become an
a solid understanding of what it meant to be a physical education teacher. Do a quick warm up, Rally the students, put them into teams, explain the rules and let them go at it. Man oh man was I wrong. Throughout readings, assignments, and practice I now believe to have a much better understanding of what it means to be a physical education teacher.
