Philosophy And 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.

My decision to teach stems from a desire to positively impact student’s lives by sharing my love of learning and showing them that learning can be fun. The teacher education program has taught me that each student is unique and it is my responsibility to meet each student where they are, making learning relevant, meaningful and comprehensible to them on a personal level. My best teaching experiences have been lessons that incorporate hands on learning that allows students to learn and express their creativity. It is my fervent hope that I will be able to secure a teaching position in the Floyd County school system; Rome is my home and I want to give back to the academic community that supported me as I prepared for my college education and my future career as an educator.

Effectively teaching math and science in today's classroom I think that it's important as an educator to truly understand the task in which is at hand. We are no longer dealing with a classroom where we have typical students that are joining us daily, we are now having the joy of experiencing a classroom that regardless of your ability or disability to learn you are a part of a general education curriculum.

A good teacher is like a candle ? it consumes itself to light the way for others.? This is a quote stated by an unknown author about what it means to be a good teacher. Not just anyone can be an instructor of the world?s future leaders. There are numerous qualities that one must possess in order to hold the title of an ?outstanding teacher.?

I have always had a love and desire to be a primary school teacher, this was strengthened many years ago when I first met my sister in law, who had just recently received her qualified teacher status. Her stories about the children inspired me, how she made a learning games and encouraged the children to succeed where in turn was rewarded by their faces of joy but also sometimes not!

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.” Brad Henry, the former governor of Oklahoma, said this. Every student reminiscences the teacher that made learning gratifying; however, students also remember the teacher that made them realize the displeasure of learning because of having different views than the teacher. In this this essay, I will tell about the teacher that impacted my education for the better; therefore, the teacher that I chose is Mr. James Pfaffly.

Sydney J. Harris once said “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” What that quote means to me is that I have not seen the world and the opportunities it has to show me, so I want be one of those teachers who can look into different states and countries and teach all different types of people. I knew at a young age I wanted to be a teacher. All those times I would teach my dollies, I was happy, energetic and communicated well; that still applies today. In planning for a career in education, I would be able to show many people what I can accomplish, and how all my qualities will make me a great teacher.

My parents moved to the Philippines from Saipan due to some health and family issues. At the age of seven, I could say I had a simple life with my family. As I grew up, I saw lots of young students coming to class with an empty stomach, barefooted, and only has a piece of paper and a pencil to use in class. I also saw many teacher finding ways to educate their students even if they were lacking of books and teaching materials. Despite the circumstances that the students and teachers were encountering everyday, the smile and excitement they have in their faces makes my heart so full. The willingness of students to learn, as well the perseverance of teachers to teach gave my life an extra meaning. From that moment, I realized that I wanted to

Early in high school, I had the mindset that I wanted a career in which I could change the world, make a difference in someone else’s life, and help people. This is why I chose to become a teacher. When I was in elementary school, my teachers were my biggest role models besides my parents. I looked up to my teachers so much and still remember and visit my favorite elementary teachers. As a teacher, I want to be that person that students can trust and look up to. To me, teaching isn’t just a job, it is a chance to brighten someone’s day, and an opportunity to listen to what our youth is telling us when no seems to care or to listen to them.

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

Teachers, especially those in the early years of school, have the extraordinary task of instilling a life-long love of learning in their students. We are there to cultivate their young minds in an arena where children feel safe and secure while expanding and exploring their knowledge of the world around them. We are to create responsible, productive and model citizens of the world. We are given an incredible task to carry out! With that in mind, however education needs to be a collaborative effort between teachers, school leaders, students and family to accomplish the task without fail.

Since Koreans started to learn English, thousands of people have struggled to master the language. Parents currently invest a lot of money and their children spend enormous amounts of time studying English as government suggests new language policies. However, proper verification and investigation of those policies have not been done yet and the outlet is really not promising (Suh, 2007). Most Korean students study English for tests. The purpose of English is so focused on tests that the situation makes the language classroom very uncomfortable and tense. This situation may also be caused by public schools? preferred method of teaching the grammar-translation method (GTM). Students are given lists of vocabulary terns and are also encouraged to learn grammatical rules, as teachers provide translation activities for their classes instead of practical oral proficiency practice (Richards and Rodgers, 2001). With the pressure of tests and teacher-centered lectures, many students lose interest in learning the English language or become stressed out about it. Most of all, some teachers and educators forgot to figure out why students learn the language.

I believe philosophy of education is defined with learning in many ways. In order to reach a certain level of learning there’s recourse along the way that defines the person and goal. John Dewey said “educational philosophy centers pragmatism and the method of learning by doing.”

A teaching philosophy statement is a document that educators prepare to express their personal ideas regarding the teaching role. Often used as part of the application packet for an academic position and in teaching portfolios for tenure and promotion reviews, teaching philosophy statements allow educators to reflect on their teaching practices and validate their success in teaching. Teaching philosophies can guide academic nurse educators by ensuring that they are using varied pedagogies that stimulate critical thinking and that the education they provide meets nursing’s standards of practice (Felicilda-Reynaldo, Rhea Faye D., and Rose Utley, 2015)).

In my future career I aspire to teach English for Specific Purposes. These purposes can include academic English, scientific English, or possibly medical English. I hope to inspire adults to expand their profession or young adults to pursue a career related to the topic of English, so that they might share and gain knowledge with others around the world. These students may come from various backgrounds and L1s (depending on where I teach) and will likely be in an EFL context. Unless I teach in Canada, and then that would be an ESL classroom.
