My Teaching Philosophy : My Philosophy Of Teaching

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.

Striving for excellence through determination is essentially beneficial for the student as well as classmates and patients. The end goal of a physical therapy program is to equip students with important knowledge about the field to effectively treat each patient in a safe and informative manner. A patient’s health and well-being is relied heavily upon the therapist’s knowledge while being treated. Optimizing each learning opportunity as a student is critical in becoming a professional and well-educated physical therapist upon

Clinical education in physical therapy curriculum is very important to future practitioners for demonstrating the effective clinical teaching practices to ensure that the students learn skills, knowledge and behaviors which are essential for entry into practice. Clinical education can only be achieved by bridging academic education and clinical practice, introducing students to the real environment of the profession and reflecting knowledge, skills and professional behaviors by managing patients during the clinical affiliations.1 The goal of the clinical education is to apply academic skills, knowledge and to provide an environment that fosters student’s professionalism and encourages the development of skilled as well as competent entry-level practitioner. Therefore, clinical education is important as “real learning’’ in physical therapy, which occurs in the clinical setting.

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

There are many reasons why people go into the profession of being a teacher. While the reasons may vary one thing should remain the same with us all and that is our passion for working with children. However, if you do not have the passion to work with children each day then it can be easy for one to burn out. To become a teacher you must not be afraid to inspire and encourage the children that you are teaching. In addition to, if you are constantly tired and exhausted than it is harder for you to be able to motive your students. My philosophy of education is that every child should have the right to learn and receive a quality education while in a safe and inspiring environment

I believe that ``A tax on gained knowledge is to disseminate it by teaching," which leads to the unlimited expansion of knowledge. My principle philosophy about teaching is that it is a holy message to deliver knowledge to anyone who seeks it, and this concept should make learning an enjoyable experience. My practical teaching philosophy mainly depends on four elements: {\bf knowledge}, {\bf encouragement}, {\bf contemplation}, and {\bf excellence}. The acquisition and ongoing quest for and to share {\bf knowledge} is key for any successful teacher. The {\bf encouragement} of student interaction is necessary for success in learning, especially the encouragement of a student’s {\bf contemplation} on how to expand their knowledge based on the material and always be thinking about new ways to solve problems. This process and involvement can only lead to academic {\bf excellence}. I can contribute to the success and happiness of students through the practical implication of the four elements of my teaching philosophy. My ongoing quest for knowledge will allow me to deeply interact with the class materials and student, and communicate with them on their level of understanding. This balance between the knowledge of the instructor and knowing the students’ needs will allow for the appropriate level of challenge to maintain interest in the class.\\

As an aspiring teacher, education is very important to me. Education is the foundation on which society is built upon and it plays a major role in everyday life. It also provides opportunities to advance through society and succeed in life. Each teacher has his or her own unique goals that he or she strives to achieve in the classroom. I view all areas of education with a large degree of relevance, but specifically target broadening my students’ knowledge and advancing their communication skills. Knowledge and communication will aid students and help them grow as they continue their education. I will reach my goals of proficient knowledge and adequate communication in my classroom by efficiently communicating with colleagues and students and conforming my technique to each student’s individual needs.

Some people say that a teaching career is the most valuable among hundreds of jobs because it can transfer knowledge from generation to generation; however, it is definitely not easy to become a good teacher; everybody needs to spend a lot of time to prepare themselves with knowledge coming from books and society so that teachers can link their lectures to real life. Thus, many subjects and skills for teaching are studied such as cross-cultural communication, literature, and even making presentations. For me, the subject that helps me the most in teaching is teaching practice covering how to teach students and how to face problems during a lesson.

I never thought of wanted to become a teacher in the future. All I was thinking of was to become a police officer or even a doctor to help and find a cure for my illness, which is a Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). From the previous education courses that I took including practicums, I now know how valuable teacher encouragement and motivation is for personal motivation. Witnessing a lot of fun that teachers have with their students makes me want to teach already. I look forward to motivate young ones through challenging yet supportive lessons and assignments. From my Education 215 course, I found out that all students are capable of learning, Never thought that a deaf or blind students can learn, but thank goodness that there’s always a way to teach them. So, my goal for my future classroom is to teach my students to become the best as they can be. Although Teaching is a life-long process and I hope to provide a fun and learning experience for each child.

When thinking of teaching I feel excited realizing that God has given me the opportunity to teach and the gift to do it. When I was 22, I was working as a nurse and enjoyed it immensely, but then got married to a teacher. After that, I found myself in educational institutions. I then decided to take up teaching and enrolled myself in a teacher-training program. This was without any passion or thought merely out of convenience. When I completed it I was asked to teach teacher training students. I enjoyed teaching at this level. My next position in teaching kindergarten kids impacted me for life. I was assigned to a small Seventh-day Adventist school. The enrollment was very low and they thought that they would have to close the school in a few years. I began the school year with only six students, however in a few months word got out about the way I was teaching and enrollment increased to 44 students. The school gave me two TA’s who assisted me all day. I enjoyed teaching these little ones. Watching them grow and develop made me happy and fulfilled. This has been 26 years ago and I am happy that I am still in touch with for students from that class.

How does a good teacher be awarded such a title? What exactly defines a good teacher? Did they not give homework on Fridays or were they the one who helped you finally understand calculus? Either way, they most likely exhibited a complex understanding of the pedagogical competencies along with a development of their own. They had a clear understanding of what their wanted to accomplish, defined their style, and can intertwine static and dynamic content. They also learned how to effectively communicate, while also working to perfect their skills. The competencies are the backbone to an effective style of teaching.

Learn to Teach, Learn to Learn. / Use the past to teach the future ( That is my philosophy)

Teaching is a profession with many rewards within itself. As a teacher, not only do I get the opportunity to teach my students new content material, but I also get to bond with them and teach them valuable life lessons. Being a teacher is more than just giving the students some information and quizzing them over it. I believe it is about making a difference in their lives. Many teachers have different teaching philosophies, but my teaching philosophy is centered on valuing my students culture and language, insisting on high quality work from all students, and caring for all of my students as well as building a strong relationship with them.

Teaching is among the most intricate, eternal and beautiful professions and as a visionary and cultural leader I know that education transcends time and place, deriving much from both social, cultural context and individual style. I am committed to continuously improve my practices with the desire that my leading example instills in my students and colleagues the passion and enthusiasm for learning and teaching. I am a dedicated, resourceful educational professional who consistently take part in training opportunities designed to strength and improve educator’s pedagogical skills, monitor policies and practices that promote a safe learning environment.

I have received help from many people in my past twenty-four years of life. My parents raised me, my teachers guided me, and my friends encouraged me. Not to even mention the kindness I received from random strangers on the streets. I am grateful that the world showed me her bright side, and it would mean more than anything for me to be able to pass on the kindness as much as I can. I want to repay society with my own kindness, and influence people with my genuineness. Moreover, I consistently endeavour to do things I am interested in and I hope to contribute to society within the best of my ability. This is how I visualize my life as meaningful and fulfilled.
