Teaching Philosophy Statement

747 Words3 Pages

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 there are basic skills that each student should learn in order to be successful in any area of their future. It is essentially the role of the school and my role as …show more content…

Students learn best in an environment where their creativity is fostered. I believe a human’s innate creativity is what makes him or her unique and the effects of stifling this creativity at a young age can be both damaging and rewarding. The stifling of creativity produces a human race that is more comfortable with stereotypes and a cookie-­‐ cutter lifestyle. In my opinion, creativity in life is just as important as literacy. I intend to instill a sense of love for divergent thinking in each of my students. Students of all nationalities, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, disabilities, and socio-economic classes are welcome in my classroom. This success system was designed to help those who it was designed to ensure some would succeed while others failed. I will mend at least a portion of this achievement gap between the haves and the have-nots. I want to empower others with the knowledge of the reality of their situations, but also with the knowledge and tools for success in academics and life. As an educator, a black educator, a black woman educator, I understand, as far as my experience allows, the importance of multicultural education. I believe that although lack of tolerance and concern are taught and it takes twice as much time and teaching to undo what has been taught, it is still worth the time to teach a diversity curriculum. Research proves that multicultural education is successful when implemented

    (Black 2013) It is obvious that integrated schools improve education for low-income and minority students, so the solutions to the stratification issues we face should include, (1) helping all parents understand diversity provides benefits to everyone and (2) developing and supporting policies that promote diversity, while maintaining individual choice to a degree. To address the issue of helping parents understand the importance of diversity, schools should utilize the increased marketing that has come with more choice. Instead of focusing entirely on the fiscal bottom line or test scores, schools could explain that critical thinking and better preparation for a multicultural world with its global economy are some of the benefits of integrated schools, areas white students are currently lacking in.

    It is fair to extend a hand to minorities who have overcome a background of hardship and have risen above. Not only do they prove to be a glimmer of hope for younger generations in similar situations as a minority, but they are hope of improvement to their own communities and possess the power to break the barriers between minority groups and the rest of America. Along with that, every student – minority or not - deserves to learn from many different people. Diversity is key in the education system, and in in the world’s society as a whole.
