Teaching Philosophy Statement

539 Words3 Pages

Overall, I really enjoyed the opportunity to teach in a different country. It was an amazing experience to be able to teach those kids any kind of English and to see the looks on their faces when they learned an unfamiliar word. One thing I noticed while teaching was when they learned a new word, they would all say the word back to me to help store it in their brain. Even though I was only there for a couple of hours, it was amazing to see the progression of them learning unfamiliar words. This experience made me very excited to be a teacher soon. I am ready to see more of those smiling faces and light bulbs come on when I teach them something new. The kids at the Thailand school only knew me for a brief period of time but as we seen them in …show more content…

Just like the schools in America, there was still one child that refused to participate in any activity. We tried our best to get him to do it, but he was not interested. I am not sure if he didn’t understand it or what was wrong. However, this is why I want to be a teacher. I want to be able to help and give hope to the students who are not helpable. I know that some kids don’t always have the best life at home, but I want my classroom to be a hiding place for those kids. I want them to feel safe and loved while in my classroom. I know that I will not be able to help every child with every need, but I can try. I know if I do my best, then I will at least plant a “seed” and maybe someone else can water it to help them grow. I remember as a first grade I had a teacher that had the same perspective as me. To this day, I still go to her to seek advice when I am having a distressing day, or just need someone to talk to. She was like my second mom, and she is the reason I want to be a teacher. She knew that education was an important part of life, but she seen equal importance in helping us with our everyday

    I hope that one day my students can say that I made a difference in their lives and in their careers in the medical field through my teaching. As a new teacher one of the biggest challenges I faced was becoming reasonable. I thought I would just go into the classroom, talk for the class period, show a couple of slides, and the students would just get it. As the days went on, I began to know who my students are, and how different they all learn. So I stopped, reflected upon my teaching and how my students are learning and readjusted myself.

    A poignant quote from Labaree reads ‘A surgeon can fix the ailment of a patient who sleeps through the operation, and a lawyer can successfully defend a client who remains mute during the trial, but success for a teacher depends heavily on the active cooperation of the student.’ (Labaree 2000, p. 228) I volunteer as a classroom assistant at a low socioeconomic school through the Flinders Mentor program and frequently witness breakdowns in teacher—student relationships. Classes are overpopulated and disproportionately filled with students who require special assistance due to learning disabilities, physical disabilities or just students who are at-risk due to dysfunctional home or social lives. I am often tasked with taking small groups of known ‘disrupters’ away from the class to give them closer attention.

    Your job is to build them a strong foundation that will later be built upon in middle school and high school. You’re teaching them not only how to use glue and mix colors, but you’re also teaching them how to apologize to their friends and mean it and learn to share. In this stage of education, it’s extremely important for teachers to be patient and effective. Constantly teaching brand new concepts requires a lot of kindness and understanding too. Some students won’t be able to pick them up as quickly as others, and there will be some students who haven’t matured to the point of caring to learn new

    According to this article, there are numerous unique factors in every classroom that contribute to the way students and teachers will interact with each other, which is why “simply targeting individual children in the classroom may not actually solve a classroom behavior problem”. (Parsonson, 2012, p. 16) Rather, a teacher must focus on the collective classroom environment and consider all aspects of their students, including a host of problems and concerns they may bring to school with them from their home life. The belief expressed within this article is that children can

  • Personal Narrative: My Stereotypes In The Classroom

    On my first day of teaching, my perception was that they were a high-strung, undisciplined, rambunctious lot and the last thing they wanted to focus on was homework. When I first set foot in Ascension, I was so worried about what I could do to control poor behavior and prevent chaos, never mind teaching math and reading. Upon reflection, I had placed stereotypes on little kids who were no different than I except, they were poor and lived in a very rough area. When I looked the kids in the eye, paid them the little bit of attention that every child wants, they respected that I was there to help them and we both had a job to do.
