The education system and the way that a teacher teaches have evolved since I was the young mind in the desk waiting to learn. In a school system today teachers instruct at multiple levels in order to help all students. The teacher now teaches to the Children, their learning preferences are considered. I would have loved my teacher to have taught me using multiple levels in order to help me understand, address my weaknesses, and give me strategies when needed.
When I went to school children had to learn the way the teacher taught, one way, or you didn 't learn. As a student you needed to find a way to understand not only the concept being taught but the way in which it was being delivered. There are areas that I never did learn because of

Not everyone learns at the same pace or style. Some children like quick, to the point instruction while others require a new skill to be repeated often before grasping it. Today 's classroom will incorporate multiple ways to learn. Children receive information verbally that is quite often accompanied with visuals and tangible support. Today 's classroom sees your child as an individual who has strengths and weaknesses, whose academic and social needs are met in order for them to succeed. Today 's classroom incorporates multiple ways to learn. There are three main learning styles: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Firstly is to understand what the preferred preference of the student 's’ learning style is so you can support it. That being said, that style can change because of what is being taught or what he/ she is doing. Getting to know and understand your student’s needs and being able to read their cues will help them greatly to be successful in what you 're asking of them. If you know a student hates loud math games, it is best to plan for a quiet place for them to work, whether to be with a few students or independent. Your student might be the type that needs social interaction to work well and you will plan for group work. The child that requires a lot of visual aids and reminders will require some planning and prepping from me or the teachers
I listen to my students. I allow time for their individual impute in what they are learning, and adjust accordingly. I really believe that is why students can be so into the idea of being taught, because they are all encouraged to lead the discussion and projects before them as it relates to the curriculum. I try to learn from my students by listening to their interpretation. I am learning what interest them, and feed off of it in the work that needs to be performed. Work towards a positive social society, with this education does takes place for our students, teachers, and community, all for a better future, one that is full of knowledge and acceptance. What could be any
It is important to know how the child is doing, so that effective plans can be made for the future. If a child isn't learning very much, then the professional that the child is working with wouldn't want to go at a fast pace. The plan should be balanced to fit the child's needs.
Nowadays, students are being spoon fed information in the classroom instead of actually “learning”. Teachers, who should be inspiring students to be individuals and going out to seek and learn are instead basically giving students the information just to make it easier upon themselves. Although it may be easy now, in the future when the same students that have been fed information have to go out and actually learn and find information, they won’t be able to. Students are too reliant on teachers giving them information so they won’t have to do work. Students in this generation are being complacent in a “short-cut” society and take the easy way out in everything they possibly can.
I never realized how many variables there were when it comes to all the different ways people learn and get an education. I was raised with public school from pre-school and high school and it is what I am most accustom to, but learning about what else can go into education changed my perspective. The fact that other countries can take education a completely different way made me think about the effectiveness of one type of learning to the other. I feel like people need to think more about how education works and the factors that play into it, while keeping an open mind to new methods or tactics towards learning that may
I believe that learning is a journey that both child and educator set out on together. This journey is a privilege that I take seriously, realizing that a child’s early years are a key formative time in their life. I believe that it is during this time that important foundations are being set in place that will not only impact them in the present but will also influence them later on in life.
Today’s society, children are born on different educational levels. Some children can learn things easily and others take a little more time to understand the lesson. In general, people learn things at their own speed and time. The way a person learns is a technique that is suited for him or her. However, this progresses the rapidity and quality of the person learning. There are different learning styles that a person learns of such as, visual, verbal, social, solitary, aural, logical or physical. This is something that is a personal preference the person feels more beneficial to help them learn. In fact, whatever the person chosen learning styles are it guides him or her to learn. Every person has a combination of learning technique. Some
The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and reasons have been made me agree with some of points from Gatto’s and Edmunson’s and disagree them.
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.
As a teacher, I have numerous personal goals. Mainly, my goal is to provide students with the opportunity and encouragement to succeed in life and to develop as free-thinking individuals in society. I consider myself a progressive and an essentialist, according to theory. I feel that students need to be given multiple opportunities to explore many different life skills that sometimes are overlooked in the education system. Testing, rote memorization, and lecture, in my opinion, do not promote students' own inquiry and does not give students opportunities to tap into their own source of knowledge that they each bring with them to the classroom. As a teacher, I hope to leave my students able to set and accomplish goals through the use of these life skills. Some teachers I have had while in hi...
The overall essence of education or knowledge acquisition is reflected in an axiom by Confucius which says “Tell me, and I will forget; show me, and I will remember; but involve me, and I will understand. Back then, it was clear that learning was a comprehensive process which involves passionate exchanges between students and their teachers; unfortunately this is not the case in most modern classrooms. Instead of the expected bidirectional communication between learners and teachers, in the modern learning environment there is a unidirectional system which involves the teacher incessantly hurling facts at students who, due to their passive roles as mere receptacles, have fallen asleep or; in the case of “best” students are mindlessly taking notes. This leads to a situation where knowledge has neither been conferred nor acquired.
My learning experience throughout grade school was cast in the Traditional method, employing rote, reward-and-punishment, and repetition, repetition, repetition. It was a one-size-fits-all approach, intended to instill good behavior as much as to instruct in the rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic. We were not encouraged to participate in the process, unless, of course, we raised our hands, and were called upon to do so, and we were not to talk out of turn. We were to be passive and receptive. This was the “right” way to learn. It is a testimony to the great, unstoppable capacity of the brain to grow that many of us learned anything at all under those circumstances.
...child needs and deserves a secure, caring, and inspiring environment in which to blossom and flourish emotionally, intellectually, socially, and physically. It is my desire as an educator to provide my students with the learning environment necessary to motivate and inspire each and every one of them to become to their fullest potential. For myself, teaching is about giving; giving the students support and security, giving them respect and dignity, giving them opportunities to succeed and a quality education, and not only giving them my time and effort but also giving myself. Our society requires its children to not only receive a solid education, but that they are taught by a highly qualified educator who is sensitive to their individual needs and deeply committed to their success. I am such a person and will always strive to do the very best by my students.
My philosophy on education and learning is simple; to teach my future students to the best of my ability to achieve academic success. As well as getting to know my students well. Getting to know a little of their background can help make a difference in our teaching career. As a teacher, we care for our student’s educational needs and to achieve a full potential in their learning ability. I believe that education is an individual, unique experience for every student who enters a classroom. Having a passion for teaching and providing students with a proper education should always be a teacher’s top priority.
The one belief I had about teaching that has changed since I began this unit, is that all teachers, more or less, taught in the same way. Perhaps this is a belief that I had formed from my own time at school, where all my teachers taught in the same way; some were more or less effective, but I wasn’t aware of them using theories or methods as such, more that they were or weren’t kind people. This belief has changed and it has really opened my ideas to the many creative models, and instructional methods a teacher can use.
