My Philosophy Introduction “The statement of teaching philosophy (also called the teaching statement or teaching philosophy statement) promotes reflective practice by encouraging instructors to describe their teaching methods, to justify why they use those methods, to analyze the effectiveness of those methods, and to consider how they might appropriately modify those methods in future courses.” (Schönwetter et al., 2002) Stake holder motivation, engagement, cognitive associations, and personal
this teacher interview activity, I am beyond excited to become a teacher. I feel this way not only because Heather strongly agrees that teaching is an optimal choice of a young person today but due to the passion she possesses for her job. As Heather described her classroom and what it is like to spend all day with children, I just cannot wait until I am teaching.

Statement of Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy consists of seven components that create an effective, well-organized and interactive learning environment for students.

(quoted in Danielson). My instructional goal is to explain, display, AND inspire, and my teaching style would combine structure with flexibility. Relationships with students matter as do active learning and engagement. It’s crucial to promote thinking skills.

To have an understanding of a range of moral and social backgrounds from which people may come from. A teaching career is highly challenging, intellectually demanding and emotionally rewarding. Children of this age need to have a firm system of discipline implemented and a teacher who will subtly nurture a child's talents into positive academic achievement
The teaching profession is a critical one, and unlike any other profession, maybe even more paramount than those of the medical and law fields. A potential teacher has to be dedicated not only in purpose, but in knowledge expertise, and in advocacy.
