Personal Philosophy Of Learning Centers

Our mission for New Beginning Learning Center is to enable our students to be involved in their surrounding, socialize with peers and learn to precise themselves. The mission gives a clear understanding that shows children how to create things by using what they have in their surrounding in a certain technique. The children will be allowed to use things that are not make believe, which will enable them to understand these things do occur in real life situations. Socializing with other people will be difficult for some children but will allow them to do it at their own pace. The teachers will provide positive role models for the children so they will do the same. We will also provide a welcoming and safe environment for anyone who visits our learning center. Our parents will visit our learning centers whenever possible and there will be an open door policy. We will keep track of all the students progress through antcedol notes, teaching strategies, assessments and other learning tools. By keeping track of these things we can help the students to reach their learning goals. According to () “This includes providing multiple, frequent opportunities for two-way dialogue, taking advantage of daily communication opportunities, using your environment to provide information about what children are

As an educator, it is my job to find new ways for my students to learn that coincides with their particular learning style and takes advantage of their strengths. In all practical terms, this will mean finding new ways for each of my students to learn in their own particular way. As a whole, my students will need more reason to learn with authentic experiences, hands-on

1) Through my experiences of teaching, I have discovered and developed many teaching strengths. A couple of my strengths include classroom management, and planning. At the beginning of my teaching internship, I had a problem with the classroom management. In addition, my first evaluation showed my lack in classroom management. My principal suggested me that it is very important to keep students engaged, on task, and following directions. On that day I decided that I have to overcome this obstacle by converting it into my strength. I consulted my supervisor,

I structure my teaching practice around the practical application of skills. Rather than teaching in abstract terms, I encourage students to apply the concepts we explore in the classroom to their everyday lives; building connections between the academic and

The strategic purpose of teachers are that they control the classroom environment, they can adapt lessons to accommodate the learning needs of all the children in their class, smaller groups, 1-1 sessions with support staff, and differing lesson plans for individual

As a future teacher in charge of my own classroom, I need to be prepared with a guidance management plan for the school year. This is when every part of the guidance strategies that I have learned in the classroom or used in student teaching will be implemented. Since it can be challenging to implement guidance in the classroom and especially in knowing what guidance strategies to use in certain situations, I as an educator, need to understand and know different strategy theories so when those situations do arise I can use the approaches that I have been learning.

The different centers in the classroom communicate the interest of the children in the classroom. The sensory contained hundreds of caps and lids to various different containers. The art center always appeals to the kids. Many of them like to paint, make collages, and play with slime or playdough. These materials are only available one at a time, but each day is a different activity. The puzzle/table toy center is very popular with a few of the children that love to build with the different table toys that are in the classroom. Usually the children have to option to choose what toys/materials they get to play

In the place where I’m completing my observation hours, is a toddler classroom, where there are 8 children in the room. The classroom is divided into 9 areas, which are: music area, dramatic area, art area, sand and water area, manipulative and science area, library area, and the cozy area, all these areas are composed of different material that is used for children. Also, all the areas have their names in both languages; English and Spanish. The material all around the classroom is label with their names and their pictures, I think, this is very helpful and beneficial for children, to place all the things in the right place, specially when they want to located something or at the time to do clean-up, they know to place all things in their

Preparation and planning is important for teachers, even though you do not always know what might happen in the classroom. To have a successful plan there needs to be enduring understandings, essential questions, and transfer goals. Enduring understandings are summarizes of what students need to learn throughout the year/s. Essential questions are ideas for students to think about that can shape the enduring understandings. Transfer goals are the measureable assessments that students should reach. I like the quote “when students know what they’re expected to learn, they are more likely to learn it.” Teachers should not hide what the goals are for students and what the reasoning behind what they are being taught is. Lessons need to be relevant and purposeful, and I definitely need to get to know the students interests are by building relationships with each student will allow for lessons to be created that will keep them interested, and be more attentive and active. It is important to connect to the students outside of the classroom, both with lessons, information, and in the relationships that are built.

Walking into a learning center class brought a very unique learning experience that varied from other classrooms. This stems from the fact that this class had many students all of different ages working on many different courses instead of one; some students would be in the classroom completing math homework, while others would be studying for science. Consequently, I learned that every student varied in their ability to learn; some of the younger students needed me to walk through questions step-by-step while most of the older students just required assistance on how to approach a problem. Furthermore, there were students that had difficulty grasping concepts because of my teaching method. Subsequently, I learned how to assist other students by applying the different types of learning methods. These learning methods essentially helped students use the strongest of their three senses to their advantage.

For example, I can create a positive an open environment where parents and children can feel comfortable enough to have open discussions. I could also make myself aware and learn the culture and funds of knowledge of my students and parents so I could learn and understand their educational background while trying to meet them in the middle with having them understand the school curriculum. This would build a trustworthy bond, which is helpful for the parents who have questions about their child’s education, what should be offered to them and what should not be. It would also be my job to make the parents aware of their rights and responsibilities as a parent whose child is in the school system. (Berger, Riojas-Cortez pg.

As God has paved the way for our lives, teachers must pave the way for learning to be possible for every student. A well-designed plan will include strategies for all learning styles, assessing prior knowledge, and an environment that is safe and promotes learning. Teachers have the knowledge to research and apply what is need for successful student accomplishments by instructional strategies, assessment plans, standards/objectives to be mastered, learning outcomes, data from test tallies, self-evaluation or reflection on the day to day practices, the code of ethics, and administration roles to make responsible decisions on the accountability for each student. Teachers are the disciples of Christ. Their lives must model and reflect God

The learning center provides students with a conductive study environment, as well as resources that can help enhance their academics, such as textbooks, calculators and the likes. Also, the learning center provides one-to-one study skills consultations for students to speak to consultants about their problems with regards to how to study, take notes and manage time. Personally, the center offers me a quiet place to study. It is a very welcoming environment, quiet and warm and there also refreshment. I like going there because this is a place where I can be productive.

Art center serves as a great for a child creativity for kids to help express their emotions and ideas. Fine motor skill development and improved hand-eye coordination are other ways an art center. In construction center, children can improve their motor skills, practice problem solving, and learn to work with their classmates when playing in construction center. A block center will teach children about basic skills that will have engineering and architecture concepts. A literacy center is a place to practice the students reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Science center brings the outdoors indoors and gives children opportunities to explore nature and science concepts. Music center in my preschool classroom encourages children to be physically active and gives them opportunities to experiment with sound and music. A math center can help children develop their fine motor skills and better understand of math concepts. I make sure the room is laid out in a way that noise level is balance and the cozy corner is away from loud centers. At my center we have to follow Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale.

Teachers work to plan for each lesson, they supervise students outside of the class, and they give assignments daily. Other duties that a teacher is required to do are grade assignments and exams, talk with the parents about their child’s behavior and progress, and prepare students for state required tests. When a teacher has a plan period, they talk with other teachers about the discord in the hallways, grade papers, and plan for the next lesson.
