When thinking about how I want my future class to be, I realized that my philosophy listed above is a mixture of many different theorists. I took little bits and pieces of each and put them into what I want my class to look like and function
Philosophy is defined as one’s own personal beliefs and values. Philosophy in its technical sense might best be thought of in three aspects: an activity, a set of attitudes, and a body of content (Knight, 2006). Within this paper one can find my personal philosophy on educational assessments. When working with students in the learning environment, it becomes the responsibility of the educator to transmit information to pupils, then check for understanding. As part of the checking process, this entails
Throughout my career as an educator, I intend to motivate my student to make their learning experience an enjoyable one. I propose to intrinsically motivate my students over challenging yet supportive tasks and instructions. I aim to utilize supportive and preventive strategies when it comes to dealing with students’ behavior. I expected to achieve this goal by creating a learning environment that is harmless, comfortable, and conducive to learning. If the students do not feel safe in the classroom
believe that all students are capable of learning and that it is the role of the teacher to ensure that each student, no matter their academic level, succeeds in the classroom environment. To achieve this goal, each student must be presented an educational environment where they are able to grow mentally, socially, and emotionally. Because each student is unique, I will assist each in developing their own learning styles. As a future elementary level educator, I believe that there are four essential
Every classroom has a distinct personality. This personality is composed of various beliefs, ideas, strategies and philosophies. While countless teaching philosophies have proven to be successful in the classroom, I believe a student-centered philosophy ensures a healthy and positive learning environment. When learners walk into my classroom, I want them to feel like they are entering a safe, creative, organized and exciting space. Students will be encompassed by vivid colors, vast displays of their
and our in-class discussions, the Enlightenment was a movement that helped to bring the western world out of the Dark Ages and greatly influenced the people initiating change in America. During this period of time, aspects of life, science, and philosophies of all sorts, were moving towards a direction of reason, as opposed to faith. Educated men were researching, studying, and discussing with other men about their findings and ideas. People were on-fire for knowledge. They were no longer “accepting”

Subsequently, from my experience the essence of my educational philosophy is based on willingness. Without willingness to accept change, forgive, and fail my days as an educator likely ended during George W. Bush
As an educator, my philosophy of learning is constantly evolving to meet the needs of my students and reflecting on my own development as a teacher. It is my goal as a teacher to help all my students learn and grow in ways that are developmentally appropriate and efficient in shaping my students to be not only great learners, but wonderful people as well. I believe that while there is a general pattern for how students learn at each age range, there are also special considerations for the individuality
Educational Philosophy …”the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.” – Carol Dweck Being a father of three, there are few things more important to me than assuring my own children that I believe they can achieve excellence. No matter the goal or standard, set by them or me, they must know that I believe in them and that in time they will learn to believe in themselves. As an educator, my approach is no different. Excellence is the standard, and it is accessible
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
My background is not in the field of education, and I know I have a lot to learn. But I am passionate about becoming a teacher and believe that all of my experience will add value to my new career role. I have professional experience in many of the subjects that multiple subject teachers are expected to teach, such as math, social sciences, language arts, reading, and art. As a multiple subject credential candidate I believe it is important to have a well rounded education in order to give your
As a future educator, I am most passionate about creating a safe environment for my students by incorporating culturally responsive practices and social justice into my classroom. As a woman who struggled with anxiety throughout my childhood, I understand the value of inclusion, respect, and equity in teaching. It is imperative to offer students with a safe haven during their formative years in which they are free to make their own opinions and formulate their own unique personality based on their
Throughout my career as a student I have had the honor of being taught by a number of great educators, many of whom I still keep in touch with. I have been extremely blessed with these mentors, three of which are now my bosses. I started college with a vague idea of what I wanted to do with my future, and within three months of graduating high school I was offered a job as an AVID tutor by my former kindergarten teacher who is now the principal of my former middle school, my former high school AP

The fundamental purpose of education is makes possible the success of students in their lives. As a leader in the educational system, I will promote a vision of a school as a community of learners where every one is welcomed, valued, and respected in the similar way. I would like to create a place where everybody could be felt as a family, sharing the same values and beliefs
I believe all students can achieve and succeed in any classroom if challenged to their full potential. As a teacher, I continually engage in a high level of professional growth and application of skills to enhance my knowledge in my content area. Professionalism is a explemary quality trait of mine which I continue to value. I consistently exhibit a commitment to professional ethics and work hard in implementing the school’s mission statement to my students, which at Summerour Middle school it is
Being involved in the learning process of others is vitally important to me. I believe that as an educator, we have the capability and responsibility to help mold not only students educational goals, but to help mold them into successful adults that sill contribute to society. Many times during my life I have been a teacher, a counselor, a cheerleader and a role model for my students. Every student is at a different point in their learning process and cycle, and a good educator can find that
needs a safe, encouraging environment to flourish. As an educator, my goal is to help students grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually to achieve their wildest dreams through gaining lifetime learning skills. Like the Progressive education philosophy, I believe children should learn by pursing answers for their questions through problem solving and critical thinking activities such as analyzing, synthesizing, classifying and predicting. Students need to discover for themselves and practice skills
It will be the opportunity to take what I learned during my undergraduate years and my years of teaching to another level. A level where I go beyond what is expected of the average educator. A level where I can create the best educational experiences for all students who walk through my classroom for the rest of my career. I have chosen Curriculum and Instruction as my specific program due to my work with curriculum previously, and a desire to constantly evolve and improve my abilities
I believe that all students are capable of learning. My role as an educator is to discover the unique way in which each student learns and adapt my lessons with patience. I believe that doing so will increase the self-efficacy of the student, and will lead to self-regulated learning. My goal in teaching is to empower my students to think and reason, to problem-solve, to grow intellectually and emotionally, and to be the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. I believe in learning about the personal
As a teacher, I believe that it is my job to make learning interesting and beneficial. Over the next school year, I would like to get to know each of your children as students and as individuals. Building a strong relationship with my students will allow me to help them with each of their unique needs and abilities. It is my goal to have my students’ think of the classroom as a place to learn and have positive experiences. Each student brings his or her own ideas and points of view to the classroom
