Rakibul Khan TEACHING STATEMENT TEACHING PHILOSOPHY My teaching motivation is a resultant of my current position as a lecturer and formerly teaching assistant, professional development experience as trainer and trainee, industrial experience as professional water modeler and own academic experience as a student. My philosophy in teaching is hinged upon the impression that fostering the attainment of the conceptual theory is difficult without commingling practical skill sets to facilitate further learning and thinking and real-life problem-solving. This philosophy is premised on the idea that attending a lecture is enjoyable to students if the instructor presents conceptual theory in classroom linking professional practices with latest research or case studies or examples. I emphasize on engaging students within the classroom environment and putting knowledge into context so that its relevance is apparent. One of my principal objectives in teaching is to facilitate learning by helping students to gain the necessary skills to become active participants in their own learning. I perceive teaching as an approach analogous to the training of trainers (ToT) where students in today's class will be seen as the future trainer of class, research or professional practices. I relish teaching as an opportunity to mentor and inspire both graduate and undergraduate students to prepare them for a better future world. TEACHING EXPERIENCE I am currently a lecturer in Civil and
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.
I believe that students can be excited about learning. I like to bring in examples of how the information that they are learning can play a part in the students’ lives. I want to get my students more involved in the teaching and learning process. I feel that there will always be a benefit to learning how to teach. Therefore, I intend to give students more opportunities to teach their fellow students the information that they are learning in my classes. Currently, I have been able to provide teaching opportunities in budgeting and finances at a local high school and a local middle school.
Through the classes I have taken at Wilmington University and my experiences in the classroom, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my future classrooms. I chose the teaching profession because I understand the challenges and responsibilities that come with teaching young minds. Children are our future and I am confident in my ability to help students reach their potential both inside and outside of the classroom.
Through the courses i've taken at Lakeland college, my time spent observing a second grade class, and my own school experiences, I have begun to develope my own personal teaching philosophy. The needs of students are ever changing and I plan to evolve my philosophy as I gain more experiences. I plan to implement my philosophy and teaching beliefs into all of my future classrooms. My goal as a teacher is to fulfill all of my students educational needs, and prepare and adjust my lessons accordingly.
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
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
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 is an achievable journey requiring their practice and perseverance to enable success. I strive to present consistent, clear lessons and activities that enable students to learn material in a way that fits their personal learning style.
My personal teaching philosophy is to empower students with knowledge and skills through democratic teaching methods. The “man-making” aspect of education is pivotal to me. Teaching for me is a two-way process of learning. A few things that I would strive to achieve as a teacher are a positive approach, fair play, care and concern for students and respect for individuals. I am a full time teacher at MiddletonMurray, a training provider, which delivers training and employment services.
Through the classes and field experience I have completed at Southern University, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my future classrooms. It is my desire as a teacher to provide students with a safe, fun environment that promotes learning and excellence in the classroom. These are three areas that I believe is conductive to establishing an environment, (1) motivating students to the full potential, (2) promoting preventive and supportive behavior, and (3) the teacher acting as a guide.
I am here to help my students become their best self. I am here to help my students in their education and to help them become better people and citizens. As a teacher, my goal is to help my students succeed in any way I can. I became a teacher because teaching gives me a chance to help kids grow and develop a love for learning, instead of a loathing for school. I want to be a teacher because I want to make a difference. I will make a positive impact on my student’s lives, and I will be someone that they trust and confide in. I am here for them.
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
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.
This is my personal philosophy of teaching. Within this paper I will talk about my beliefs of students’ growth and development and dimensions of diversity, what knowledge is of most worth, effective instructional strategies, the purpose of education, and assessment of learning. I would also explain how I would implement my beliefs in classroom practices.
Schonwetter et al. (2002) defines a philosophy of teaching as ‘a systematic and critical rationale that focuses on the important components defining effective teaching and learning in a particular discipline and / or institutional context.’
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:
