The power of education beings with a great foundation. I believe that we are all born with an innate drive to learn and every child should have the opportunity to experience the power of education in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment. For this environment to be successful, I will provide students with the space to express themselves, opportunities to explore their curiosity, and ¬experiences in which they are able to grow as individuals. It is my goal, as an educator, to help students discover and foster their ability to learn and build upon their foundation of knowledge. To achieve these goals, it is important that I first understand the role schools within society, the role of students, my role as an educator, the design of my curriculum/classroom management strategies, and the role of parents within my classroom. First and foremost, with the advancement of society comes the need to provide space for children to cultivate their own knowledge by giving them the chance to reach their goals in order to become a …show more content…

On the contrary, my role is help facilitate and provide guidance to my students to help them in expanding their knowledge. My role is to support my students throughout each and every task throughout the day and provide resources for them in order to express themselves, explore their curiosity, and ¬ grow as individuals. Additionally, it is my responsibility to make sure that my classroom as well as teaching methods welcome and encourages a diverse classroom. I will be sure to incorporate different materials such as books, posters, projects and much more that include different aspects of diversity as well as elements from different populations around the world (i.e. race, identity, and culture).

    A child’s education is affected by various elements such as gender, race, environment, economic factors, privilege, and more. These elements shape the outcome of a student’s educational experience and learning. They also determine what and how students will learn. In order to create an appropriate learning environment, there should be a sense of community. In other words, the common goal should be helping students succeed and reach their maximum potential.

    The purpose of academia is to provide a firm foundation for children in the areas of scholastics, self-awareness and community. As the educator, I will facilitate and provide opportunities for students to establish this foundation by instructing a student- centered curriculum as well as allowing the students to learn from other stimuli. I will strive to ensure that each student leaves my classroom with improvement in the three areas of schooling. I believe that teachers should have a passion toward their students' welfare including the students’ scholastic standings.

    With the increasing ethnic and cultural differences in schools across the United States, education needs to address that not all children come from a traditional household or have the same backgrounds as would be traditionally expected. Muslim, Christian, Jew, and Secularist may be classmates so the thin lines of political correctness need to be treaded lightly. I would teach based on my standpoint but give alternatives that make sense and still work within the realm of academia. Of course I think it would be best if the students were taught of all the contributions of other societies so that they learn to appreciate the world as a whole by teaching all aspects of history that pertaining to diverse leaders in innovation and important historical moments. Not just that , however, I would try to teach (while still on topic and not roaming off reservation of course) from the various viewpoints and allow the children/teens/young adults to understand the various aspects of certain issues including racism, anti-Semitism or other religious persecutions, wars, opinions of opposing sides and why certain issues happened.

    It is my objective to create a motivating classroom that will assist students in critical thinking and to become self expressive, inquisitive, and empowered pupils. As a future educator I often think about stimulating questions such as “how is education good for the individual student?”. I believe education focuses on values, attitudes, and behaviors that aid in strengthening students to become further efficient on working on developing their own solutions and determining their own decisions while formulating their thoughts and emotions through a dynamic learning experience. I hope to formulate a curriculum that emphasizes the importance of the learning process, creative choice, and problem solving strategies through a student centered

    Writing holds a central place in everyday life, from talking with friends and family to navigating academia and careers. We are all constantly being bombarded with information, assignments, and tasks that require our ability to navigate a highly literate world. As I continue my transition into the world of adulthood, the demands on my literacy skills will only go up. Gallagher who summed up the importance of literacy in the Information Age says it best: “Today, writing is foundational for success” (4).

    I believe that education is a unique experience for every child that enters the classroom. As a teacher, I am responsible for establishing a successful learning environment. There are three elements that are conducive to the environment I strive for; teaching as a guide, creating a community, and using preventative and supportive behavior strategies. My teaching role is to guide my students and provide access to information rather than acting as the source of information.

    Like progressive education, I believe that students should make meaning through the learning process. Hands-on activities, class discussions and informative peer reviews all allow the student to enjoy the educational growth process. For example, a student-based class discussion will expose the students to various viewpoints, social contexts and other ways of thinking. I believe that children should learn how to effectively communicate, how to problem solve, how to become a respectful citizen and how to develop an investigative approach to learning about all

    Thinking about my future classroom and the structure and organization I will put into order, I realize that this will depend largely on what kind of students I have in my classroom. I recognize that as a teacher, I will play a tremendous role in guiding my students. Many may not have much of a structured life at home. Some may not have a mother figure and result in being the mother figure themselves! Depending on their age, a student will be required to assume different levels of responsibility.

    I believe that every child has the potential to be great, although “greatness” can mean many different things to many different people. Nevertheless, I also believe that every student is deserving of an education that gives them the basic tools to achieve their full potential, thus achieving “greatness”. Education as a whole should be both focused on providing individual students with a chance to succeed, as well as being the primary means of preparing the next generation, both academically and socially. For example, encouraging autonomy in the classroom enables students to flourish in situations even beyond school boundaries (Brighouse, part one). In essence, education exists for the purpose of empowering students to be good citizens that

    Teaching philosophy is described by Sadker and Sadker as, “Behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs - a philosophy of education – that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher’s role and what should be taught and by what methods.” (Teacher, Schools and Society. 2005). With this definition in consideration, my teaching philosophy is “I believe that children learn best when they are given the chance to choose, discuss and explore what they want to learn, when they want to learn and how they want to learn.
