The Philosophy Of Teaching And 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.

I believe I have something to offer, that I can make a difference in children’s lives togetherwith a desire to work with children from underprivileged backgrounds. According to Marland (2007, p. 16) the pre-formal phase of teaching is observing teachers in your world eventually plays a vital role in shaping who you will become as a teacher. This applies to myself as I have been a scout leader for over 25 years and there is a parallel between teaching and leading a pack of scouts. I also was a kindergarten assistant for many years at my children’s’ kindergarten and this shaped my desire to complete formal qualifications to become an early childhood teacher.

Cicero said, "What noble employment is more valuable to the state than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?" He was correct in saying this because the young people of today will become the world leaders of tomorrow. The educators that instruct these children are important to this society because they will help shape the lives of these young people.

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

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.

My motivation for teaching is setting the goal to make a difference in a students life. The feeling of teaching a child a lesson, and them understanding it, is a rewarding experience for a teacher. I have also been a babysitter for about 6 years, and being around children makes me happy and I love the relationships that I have built with all the kids I have cared for in the past. What really motivated me to go back to school for teaching, was this past summer after having the opportunity to be a camp counselor. While working at that day camp, the relationships and bonds that formed throughout the summer, are ones that I am never going to forget about.

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.

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.

I knew that I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in fifth grade when I found myself pretending to teach my stuffed animals and making my own worksheets and tests at the library just for fun. I have always loved working with children and watching them learn and grow over time. Teaching became a passion of mine because it gave me the unique opportunity of fostering children’s knowledge and skills and inspiring them to reach their personal goals. As a student and as a future teacher, language arts has always been my favorite subject because it is vital and relevant for children to learn and offers students with an artistic and creative outlet that expands their imagination and understanding of the world around them. When I finally become a teacher, I want to serve as a mentor to my students

I want to start with a quote from William Arthur Ward, who said mediocre teachers tell, good teachers explain, superior teachers display, and great teachers inspire (quoted in Cone). Another quote has gotten attributed to many people throughout history: “If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime” (quoted in Danielson).

“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.

As I prepare to begin my career as an educator, I have come to realize I will never stop learning. There will always be new ways to teach math, new mechanics to teach readering, and new ways to explore scientific theories. I will continue to learn how to aid my students in their cognitive growth, but my students will not be the only ones learning while in my classroom. My students and I will spend seven hours a day, five days a week together. I will have an uncountable number of opportunities to help my students learn. I will also gain new experiences and knowledge from every child who walks through my door. Every one of my students will have a unique background, home life, culture, and life story. A student should be able to stretch his creative mind, explore his thoughts, and express his beliefs in the classroom. My job is to give my students the freedom to explore, while leading them to make sense of their explorations. In my eyes, receiving an education is one of the greatest privileges a child can have, and it is a privilege for me to get to teach young children.

Every teacher has a different method of teaching. The teachers that I have had in my school career have been no exception. In this way, each teacher has set an example for me, as a future teacher, to follow or not to follow as I see fit. With the examples from my teachers and in continuing my education, I am developing my own method of teaching. I plan to use a combination of teaching methods in my own classroom. My method will be an eclectic approach because I will be using components of more than one philosophy. I will be using essentialism, behaviorism, progressivism, and existentialism.

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:
