Personal Statement On Teaching Philosophy

I believe I have something to offer, that I can make a difference in children’s lives togetherwith a desire to work with children from underprivileged backgrounds. According to Marland (2007, p. 16) the pre-formal phase of teaching is observing teachers in your world eventually plays a vital role in shaping who you will become as a teacher. This applies to myself as I have been a scout leader for over 25 years and there is a parallel between teaching and leading a pack of scouts. I also was a kindergarten assistant for many years at my children’s’ kindergarten and this shaped my desire to complete formal qualifications to become an early childhood teacher.

Successful teaching occurs when the teacher is able to select the most efficient method for reaching out to each student’s individual style of learning and inspire students to rise to their highest potential. While the responsibilities of a teacher are extensive (as one can serve as a teacher, a friend, a counselor, a disciplinarian, an entertainer, a facilitator), I believe that students should play a big part in shaping own education as well.

2) I believe sharing support of ELLs and ensuring an inclusive approach relies greatly on the teachers themselves, specifically the classroom and ELL teacher. Fairbaim & Jones-Vo mention two things that I believe would work these are collaboratively planning lessons and co-teaching. By planning lessons together, both teachers are on the same page, They each understand the respected needs of their students and able to work together to create ways in which lessons are excited to optimize student success. I also think having another person perceptive is beneficial as their teaching experiences may offer you some guidance. In terms of co-teaching, I think this directly benefits the students. We all have different ways of teaching and I think students

As educators, we are responsible for enlightening, motivating, engaging and teaching our students. Indeed, this responsibility

Upon graduation, I aspire to become an elementary teacher. In order to do so, I have to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Within this major, creative thinking and problem solving is necessary. I have set out several academic goal while attending my university.

My teaching philosophy is based in my belief that teaching one of the most noble acts one can provide to others. My prior STEM work experiences have motivated me to give back to the educational system that empowered me to pursue a career in engineering. My teaching techniques incorporate continuous improvement, frequent feedback, encouragement and high expectations. I especially encourage those students who feel they are incapable of learning math by explaining learning math is an achievable journey requiring their practice and perseverance to enable success. I strive to present consistent, clear lessons and activities that enable students to learn material in a way that fits their personal learning style.

A good teacher is like a candle ? it consumes itself to light the way for others.? This is a quote stated by an unknown author about what it means to be a good teacher. Not just anyone can be an instructor of the world?s future leaders. There are numerous qualities that one must possess in order to hold the title of an ?outstanding teacher.?

Teaching is a dynamic process between the instructor and the student. Motivating students through example, enthusiasm, and excellence fosters positive student-teacher relationships and help students reach their potential. Within this dynamic process, I am the facilitator of the relationship skillfully helping the student to reach their goals. My philosophy supports the student-learner

I want to be able to make a positive impact on student’s lives. I want all students to feel successful and that they can do and be anything that they want to be if they do their best. I want to give younger students encouragement as many may not receive this outside of the school building. I love to encourage students so that they can reach their potentials. I find it easy to interact with younger students and establish a good rapport with them. This is an important key for student success because if the student sees that you care about them then they are willing to try to do their best for you. I like to present lessons in a creative way so that my students get excited about learning. I was recently reviewing letters that we have worked on

I will ensure these needs are met by making sure my learning environment is comfortable enough for all my students to ask questions without being afraid. I will show my students that I care not only about them, but their education as a whole. Making sure the student’s homework is completed and keeping parents afloat is very essential as it relates to students and their learning abilities.

Pursuing every available opportunity to teach at various levels of education has granted me the opportunity to interact with students at all stages of life, from basic school to high school and university, both in classroom and in one-on-one settings even internationally. With the view to improving and focusing on my own skills, my genuine goal is to bring this experience, together with a commitment to continue learning and adjusting to my future career as a mathematics lecturer. As I develop my course contents, I seek to answer the following questions which forms the basis for my philosophy in teaching.

After reading Professor Varis teaching philosophy it is quite evident he takes great consideration for his students and their learning opportunities. As I reflect on and review my understanding and my learning philosophy I am given the chance to reflect on past classes and possibly what could have been different on my behalf and the professor’s behalf. Also at this time I relish the opportunity to contimplate what my values, principles, achievement skills and also my expectations for this class are.

My teaching philosophy is to engage in a mutual exchange of knowledge with the students. I believe that through helping students to develop skills of critical reflection and critical thinking they will become able to carry out innovative research and also succeed in work beyond academia. Through interactive teaching methods such as group work, role play, and joint presentations I seek not only to encourage students to engage with me as an instructor, but also to exchange and discuss ideas with their fellow students. I am a firm believer in the value of interdisciplinary teaching and research. Therefore, I seek to make my students familiar with concepts and research that reaches beyond political science and is related to law, sociology, and

This will help my students sharing their knowledge with me and vice versa. Moreover, I will let my students explain their points and views about any topic to me first and then to their classmates. Furthermore, I will try to make the teaching and learning process more joyful and flexible so my students would love attending my classes so they are not going to be absent as long as I'm teaching them. Add to that, if they loved a class they are going to do their best in order to get more knowledge about that specific subject. This might help my students achieving high marks in other courses as

The class, Principles of Teaching 2, has taught me a lot this term. From learning about different educational philosophies, the learning and the teaching process, creating lesson plans, learning about project approach, making essential questions, experiential learning, constructivist approach, cooperative and collaborative learning, classroom management, handling and adapting to different scenarios in the classroom to facilitating a class discussion. I can say that this class has been very well-rounded and has answered some of my concerns as a future educator. This class has also added to my knowledge about the things that I should be familiar with that I was not even aware was part of the teacher’s “role” once I am a practising teacher.
