My Teaching Philosophy

Teaching is a profession that can yield something amazing when the right ideas and beliefs are implemented in the classroom. I believe that the purpose of teaching is not to teach students how to memorize facts, or how to know all the correct answers. The purpose of teaching lies in getting students to truly understand the concepts being examined.

My teaching philosophy is my goal in order to effectively teach all my students in the future and instill them a love of learning not only in classroom, but throughout their everyday lives. I am person who believe on differentiation. Understanding that each child is unique and every student learn in different ways. I believe it is essential for educators to differentiate our lessons to better meet the needs of our students.

Additionally, because all students are different, they will respond differently to assessments, thus I believe in giving a multitude of assessment including: tests or quizzes, papers and other assessments to gain a better understanding of what my students know.

          I also believe that as a teacher, I must know what to teach in my classroom. It is vital that I have a solid understanding of the subject matter being taught. I realize that I cannot rely solely on textbooks, but rather I must seek out other sources of information to aid in my teaching.

          I will be a facilitator in my classroom. As a facilitator, I will guide my students through the subject matter in order to assist the students in their own discoveries. The constructivist learning theory is one that I believe to be worthwhile, thus I agree with the fact that students can construct their own learning in my classroom.

          I view teaching as a process of encouraging to make connections between their real world experiences and the subject being studied. It is important to provide students with hands-out activities in order to make this connection.

          Entering this field of education where new technologies are being implemented, I will continue to keep myself educated and constantly reading and learning about new ways that meet the needs of my students even more effectively.

Hopefully I am able to become a great teacher in the future. Teacher is a very noble profession  If a doctor can cure patient illnesses, a teacher can change a person perspective towards the real world.
