My Philosophy of Education
Education. What is education? Education is a field of study dealing with methods of
teaching and learning. Many children in the world today are getting some kind of education. Whether it is at home or in a classroom, education is everywhere. Many of the teachers today have a philosopher that they use as a reference to their everyday teaching or use some of their methods to teach their students. In this paper I'm going to express my meaning of education and the different aspects that each and every teacher should follow. I'm going to start with nature of students than follow into with these topics: nature of knowledge, purpose of education, why it is important, things I want to accomplish as a teacher, and the things I want my students to accomplish. Then later on I'm going to talk about my teaching methods, discipline, and curriculum.
Children in this day and time are not all alike. They look different, talk different, and even have different customs. Today though we really don't focus on those topics too much. As teachers we look at the intelligence level each student has. Each and every kids has a different level of intelligence so we as teachers need to focus more on those students who are slower than the other students. Now Rousseau said that "every child was born with the same intelligence" and from that quote I would have to disagree. The reason I disagree is because if every child was born with the same intelligence then we wouldn't have students in LD classes. 1 believe the way Plato did. I believe that the children are influenced by their environment. The environment is a
big factor in kids lives. It allows them to express their personalities, inner and outer appearances, an...

...you get up to got to school, how will you do your assignments, and how will you stay awake in class. I'm not going to be like some teachers who just rollout the ball and let the students play, I plan to teach step by step skills.
Hopefully the school systems will not take out physical education, because that is all the exercise "some students get. As you can see education is very important in my eyes. I plan to let my students know how important it is to me and how important it should be to them. Every year theories either stay the same or they change in a small way. Just like knowledge. My understanding of knowledge, nature of students, purpose of education, and sub-topics, methods and curriculum will probably change also, but who knows. Maybe some new philosopher will make me see education in some other way. I'm willing to increase my knowledge and education.
“We all use stereotypes all the time, without knowing it. We have met the enemy of equality, and the enemy is us,” quoted by Annie Murphy Paul, a journalist. Human beings typically have varied mindsets as they grow up with different cultural values as well as social environment. Author Gary Soto’s “Like Mexican” compares his Mexican life with his wife’s Japanese background, while author Deborah Tannen’s “Gender in the Classroom” contrasts the “gender-related styles” of male and female students. From the two perspectives Soto’s and Tannen’s experiences’ give a universal, stereotypical point how different gender tendencies, conversational styles, and cultural background can result in a miscommunication of one’s behavior.

Through the American independence supporter, Thomas Paine’s passage from Rights of Man, he expresses his thoughts about the problems in America, and how he believes it should be solved. In the excerpt, Paine’s description of America as an increasingly diverse country as well as the problem of keeping peace with all the cultures in one place is still prevalent in the U.S. today. Another idea from the passage that can describe modern America is the civil unrest today and Paine stating America is divided because many different cultures coexist there. Paine’s characterization of America only is correct today to an extent because his solution of one government benefiting everyone and stopping all internal conflicts is achievable in today’s America.
Meningococcal disease is prevalent on college campuses within the resident halls; so much so that many colleges require those students that live on campus get a vaccine against it. Specifically I will look at bacterial meningitis cause by the agent Neisseria meningitidis. N. Meningitidis is found to also have humans as a reservoir. The portal of exit for the bacteria also happens to be respiratory droplets, discharge from the nose and throat. In the lab we receive many emergency room cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples because the patient presents with a stiff neck, and severe headache. Other common symptoms include sudden high fever, vomiting or nausea (combined with the headache), seizures, sleepiness or difficulty waking up, sensitivity to light, and confusion. The preferred method of diagnosis is recovery of the bacteria from a sterile site explicitly CSF or blood. Isolation in the CSF or blood requires a culture and usually during the cell count the bacteria can be seen among the cells, just not identified. A common course of action in the ER is to give the patient antibiotics once meningitis is suspected decreasing the chance that bacteria will be seen in the cell count or on culture. If the culture result is negative but meningitis is still suspected identification of group specific meningococcal polysaccharides in the CSF by latex agglutination is another method, however false negatives are common through this method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) doesn’t require any live organisms for diagnosis and it will detect the meningococcal DNA in the CSP or the plasma. Finally, the microscopic inspection of gram stained specimen could show N. Meningitidis. Breaking the chain of infection for meningitis is similar to mononucleosis and requires swift identification of the agent, and good hand hygiene. A good break in the chain for this specific agent is the vaccine offered to children and
The issues that Henry Thoreau raises in Walden are as relevant today as they were when he first wrote about them. Thoreau talks about how people are all racing each other to the top of society without really knowing why. He believes that people need to slow down and to think about what it is they want out of life, before it is too late.
My Educational philosophy is defined in becoming a teacher as a set of ideas and beliefs about education that guide the professional behavior of educators. Also included in educational philosophy are one’s beliefs about teaching and learning, students, knowledge and what is worth knowing. My five general purposes for philosophy of education are: to set goals of plan, to teach useful and relevant information, be aware of students learning styles, modeling positive cooperative behavior, to look for solutions and to make sure those solutions are working.
...ending all my class every day and on time so that I can pass all my classes with good grades, and I have to plan on writing the important information that the instructors give. In addition, I will plan on studying ahead for tests and quizzes and make sure that I understand the necessary materials that will help me pass those tests and quizzes; I will also plan on asking my teachers questions when necessary.
... future, I foresee students sharing their answers not only with their classmates but with the global community. This will influence my future instruction and student learning by putting more pressure on me to address the demands of technology. No longer will the teacher or books hold all the information. Students will navigate through material and information to learn skills and concepts that will serve students for a lifetime in world that continues to change
The teacher of my educational philosophy will be one able to understand the student, to create respect between student and teacher relationship. A human being with quality, seeking to understand and get to each of your students, you must be a motivator for students.The teacher must possess all possible skills and implement them in the development of their classes. As for the evaluation of each student will be done through practical examinations in which the student demonstrated by implementing what they have learned in class. oral examinations in each individual student will use critical thinking about a topic of the class will also be performed, these tests will be evaluated so that each student must be prepared to defend or criticize a subject given orally by the teacher in
Bacterial meningitis is a major public health burden especially in the semi -arid region of Africa called the African Meningitis Belt which has a population of over 300 million people with majority, living below the poverty line. In the United States, Incidence is on the decline with the introduction of vaccines especially for infants and children under five years old and compulsory screening of pregnant women for group B streptococcus.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, which are the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. The disease can be caused by a viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infection. Viral meningitis is the most common cause of this disease, yet it’s rarely fatal and can improve without the need of treatment. In the United States, bacterial meningitis continues to be a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment of meningitis can be the line between life and death for an individual. People may also experience complications if treatment is held off for long periods of time. This can lead to seizures and permanent neurological damages. Further prevention & vaccination can help decrease the spread of meningitis.
Meningitis is the infection of the meninges. It is caused most commonly by bacterial or viral infection, and may be caused by fungal infection, or parasite. Anyone can get this disease (Medline Plus). Infections and other things in the brain can cause inflammation in the brain and spine, and it is caused sometimes by complication in surgery (NIH). Some forms are contagious. Viral or aseptic meningitis
Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because I want to provide a constructive learning opportunity for every student. I believe that every student has the potential to learn.
Education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life. The purpose is to give each child an equal opportunity to achieve his or her goals. I believe that the overall purpose of education is to prepare for the future.
As a future educator, I have many goals. My first goal would be to never overpower my students. Being a teacher should not be a job, it should be a passion. I will focus my classroom around the student’s needs, rather than my own. The classroom will revolve around the students. I will be their guiding hand through education. Another goal of mine is to have the students interact in a positive way. Social interaction is very important. As students combine with peers they share knowledge and learn how to solve problems. In the real-world, this what will happen. Whenever I can, I li...
