My Teaching Philosophy Statement

My Teaching Philosophy

Teaching is a very honorable profession which reflects the positive characteristics of those who educate. It is a difficult job that requires knowledge, dedication, integrity and patience. I want to become a teacher (particularly elementary school) because I want to make a difference in society and I love to work with children. I believe that by using things such as atmosphere and innovative teaching methods, an instructor can be informative and still have fun. This is how I see myself as a primary school teacher.

Since I am planning to teach kindergarten, I can imagine a fun and colorful room for my students. I would allow my students to sit at one big table instead of individual desks. This would help the children to build up their communication and social skills and, therefore, they would make friends more quickly. Around the room, I would have posters with the alphabet and simple math skills on them. This would assist them with learning how to use their letters and numbers more easily.

Of course, it is important to make sure that the internet has blocks so nothing inappropriate will come across the screen. I believe that certification for teachers are important because it proves that the beginning teacher is well educated and qualified. With any future changes that may occur in the teacher profession, I will be open to them because I know that it is for the best. I want myself to be updated frequently on the new reforms so I can offer my full potential to every student who walks into my classroom.
