Teaching Philosophy Statement

An elementary educator also needs to have a wide personality. By “wide” I mean they should be prepared to multitask, learn not to get distracted easily and really know how to connect with children. Teaching a child is not easy, so they need to demonstrate self-control, concern, independency, tolerance, and flexibility. A good teacher is known as a teacher who is willing to help others and learn how to cooperate.

There are many characteristics that are necessary for teachers to have. First, it’s important for teachers to be vastly knowledgeable about their subject matter. Teachers need to be enthusiastic about whatever they are teaching, especially if they want to sustain students' interest. If the teacher isn't interested in the subject, why should the students? Educators should always be willing to learn all they can about the content in which they are teaching—making the content as relevant or interesting as possible. Another characteristic that is vital in a teacher is having respect for students. Showing respect towards students means valuing each student’s ideas and opinions. It also means exemplifying respect for

While there are many ways to be an outstanding teacher, every high-quality teacher should, in my opinion, have these skills and dispositions:

Education is defined as the lifelong process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and values through either formal means, such as schooling, or informal means, such as firsthand experiences or vicarious experiences gained through reading books or discussions. Every person that is or wants to be a teacher has his or her own educational philosophy. We all have our own views, methods, and curriculum that we were taught when growing up. A lot of people may have the same teachers in school, but all of them learn different things from that teacher.

An outstanding educator is passionate. Not about teaching, but about the subject they are teaching. Their passion shows through in their work. These types of educators capture the students' attention when they are teaching. The teacher being excited to pass on the knowledge gets the students engaged. Since the teacher is passionate the cons of teaching don't show through in their work. Teachers can become run down and overwhelmed; since an outstanding educator is passionate the positives

Through out this course we have discussed a variety of topics ranging from child development to creating an effective lesson plan for students. But what does this mean for us as educators? In my field experience I had the pleasure of working with numerous effective educators. As I contemplated what I was observing, one question kept coming to mind. What makes a good teacher? After a lot of thought I have compiled a list of things I saw implemented, that I believe help make an effective educator. Though this list is by no means all encompassing, I believe they are the beginnings of an arsenal of tools and techniques needed to become a truly effective educator.

There are numerous attributes an outstanding teacher exhibits inside and outside of the classroom. Inside the classroom, a teacher is able to offer a positive learning environment, deliver instruction effectively, be fair, and be able to monitor and adjust right away. Outside of the classroom, a teacher actively participates in the community, is an influential teammate, receptive to reinforcement, is an exceptional role model, and is available for communication to parents.

A passion for teaching and a love of kids are essential attributes for being a great teacher. Outstanding teachers have an engaging teaching style and a passion for the subject matter. Children deserve to have a teacher who genuinely enjoys the time spent in the classroom and strives to inspire them in their formative years. Great teachers are positive role models who build trusting relationships with their students and can instill an interest in learning, self-improvement and intellectual development. A good work ethic and a desire to strive for excellence is critical to be successful.

You could say teachers have the most important career of all: they educate children so that they can go on and have careers of their own choosing, they are kind, compassionate, empathetic, and positive. Teachers have existed since the beginning, whether it was in a classroom or in a house. Informal teachers, our parents, taught us about the world and how to survive it. They taught us how to get food, how to create our home and which paths to avoid. Teachers come in many different ways, teaching us many different things and inspiring us to learn and sometimes to teach others. This is what I have decided to do; be a Spanish teacher.

A professional educator should, of course, have the proper credentials, knowledge and critical thinking required to manage a classroom setting. Along with those credentials, other personal attributes must be demonstrated such as, a positive attitude that displays a love for learning and a willingness to teach any student. Engaging the students with positivity and an excitement for knowledge sets a welcoming environment for learning. In addition to the positive attitude needed for optimal performance, always be respectful to others, maintain confidentiality among students, parents and colleagues. Thrive to develop a rapport with parents, students, colleagues, supervisors, etc.…that

Everyone has learned something from another person, however we never stopped to think what makes that person a teacher. It could be the setting they teach in, or it could be the method they use to teach. It could even be the simple fact that they have a degree, proving they are a teacher. From the young age of 5 or 6 we legally have to start going to school. School is an educational building where one will meet different teachers throughout the 12 years of their educational life. Everyone has their own perspective of what a teacher is. Some good, and some bad. To me, for someone to be considered a teacher they have to be compassionate, dedicated, and passionate. A teacher that is a prime example of being compassionate is Miss. Maloney. A dedicated teacher would be Mr. Englebach, and the most passionate teacher, I have ever met would be Mr. Gamache.

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

What is the best quality for any teacher to have? First of all, there are multiple qualities that can construct a teacher, but there are three main important characteristics such as the content the teacher teaches, how he or she makes learning easy and fun, and if you can connect with them easily. My current teacher, Mrs. Shanahan, fits all of these qualities. To begin, she taught history, and throughout nearly all of my life I disliked history, but still had a small spark of interest. Once I had met Mrs. Shanahan she turned that spark into a sky full of stars. She intrigued and fascinated me with all she was teaching. Rather, it was the start of America or the Progressive era, she had left an effect on me that helped me realize the importance

Teaching is a difficult occupation. Teachers play an important part in training children, teenagers… So, a good teacher must have some special qualities. They are: knowledge, creation, confidence, empathy, sense of humor and passion.

Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons, prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one, will have to find the time to keep preparing to improve
