Teaching Philosophy Statement

461 Words2 Pages

When I was a little girl I grew up sitting in the back of a classroom watching my mother teach English as a second language. She was a High School teacher in my own school. She even taught me English in 9th grade. I was an A student. My mom gave me my first B because she said, I was not participating enough in class. My mother was known for being the tough teacher. She was so tough it was hard for me to make new friends.

My mom came home every night with wild stories about her students. She'd talk to me for endless hours about how she built relationships with them. There was that one student that refused to learn English, another that wanted her to give more bonuses and a few others who thought that knew it all but she gave them that first B EVER (*Raises hand*). I also saw her studying, learning, reading and furthering her knowledge. She also expected me to be a model student. I learned English at home, …show more content…

I believe teaching is not easy and is ever changing. A teacher's education never ends. In order to be good educators we must love to read, write and discover new things so that we can promote love for learning. I also believe not all children learn the same way, but all of them are capable of learning. Because I witnessed first hand the importance and the success of family involvement in education, I believe that a teacher must look for ways to help the students connect with their parents. Families are an integral part of learning success.

My mom was my best teacher, although she gave me that first B... EVER! (It was like 10 years ago but I still remember). When I signed up to go to college, I went to Nursing school and tried to swim against the current, but my mother instilled a love for learning in me so well, that I must pass this on to

One of these things include, helping parents with young kids find schools with good teachers.

    Using a textbook to its best advantage seems to be overlooked when we prepare for teaching. I believe there is a place for textbooks, facts, and even lectures in different subjects or level of students. I have noticed that many really don't know what to do with a textbook. They have learned a great deal about cooperative learning, using technology in the classroom, and designing rubrics. While those are good things to know, some traditional classroom techniques are also important.

    I have always wanted to be a teacher. As a child I would play “teacher” with my younger brother showing him how to add, subtract, read, and write. I enjoy helping others understand new information and love to watch them grow and be able to accomplish what their hearts desire. Classroom environments are a special way teachers show people their differences. I lean towards a more hands on classroom helping everyone express their own opinions, while respecting others.

    As a student from a poor rural county, I have definitely experienced my fair share of bad teachers. My physics teacher is a genius, but he is not good at teaching and often gets impatient. I made my first zero ever (along with many other unsightly grades), which was frustrating because in all of my prior classes, learning had come so easily to me, but in this class I felt incompetent. I spent many hours studying and practicing problems until I finally understood the material. I then tutored my peers (who were also failing) so that we could all understand it.

    For centuries, it has been a social norm for many to view the teaching profession as some kind of joke. There is a saying that makes every nerve in my body twitch: “Those who can’t do, teach.” It is saddening that many people in our society view teachers as individuals who are lesser than or simply unintelligent. Being an education major is certainly not a blow-off path to take, and becoming a successful teacher is undoubtedly not an easy feat. My hope is that society can begin to stray away from the idea that teaching is just a babysitting job that people who aren’t smart enough to hold any other position have to do.
