    Teaching Philosophy Statement “Teaching is not a profession; it’s a passion. Without passion for your subject and a desire for your students to learn and be the best in the world, then we have failed as a teacher and failure is not an option.” –John F. Podojil.

    for granted that our children love their country and nurture those ideas rather than make them recite an unnecessary, therefore meaningless pledge. I wish that my parents and my school did more to show me what true patriotism was instead of just teaching me to blindly recite the Pledge of Allegiance without asking why it was done, or what it meant. I think that if they would have encouraged me to be a part of my community, I would have more loyalty to my nation today. I would want the greater good

    As proposed by Dymoke and Harrison, good lesson planning is essential to successful teaching in so far as stating, `It is often the case that poor teaching, classroom management and behaviour stem from lack of explicit planning` (2008, p.122) It is suggested then, that thorough planning is fundamental to the successful learning of pupils in many ways. Whilst allowing the teacher to follow a process of thinking, providing a mental practice session if you like, the act of planning therefore becomes

    Teaching Portfolio Analysis In this portfolio, I have documented my first experiences not only teaching social studies, but also teaching an eighth grade inclusion class in an urban middle school. Although these lesson plans might not as good as my lesson plans of the future will be, I feel they reflect a great deal of work and dedication that came through creating my first unit for a classroom.
