Teaching Philosophy Statement
I believe the purpose of education is to learn and teach our kids to expand their knowledge by learning many type of things. By discovering new ideas and new skills that the students can later applied in later future. School is where students can actually discover their true potential and what they are capable of; is the first step of discovering themselves. Education is the most precious thing we have and we have the privilege to use it, so we should take advantage and teach our students all the possible ways that they can succeed in the future. Just like my teachers have taught me in order to be prepared and take action to appropriately teach my students the right way.
The kind of place my classroom should be is a classroom that belongs to my students. My classroom would have all the developmentally appropriate furniture their desks, the chairs, the block setting, the kitchen setting, cabinets, dramatic play center etc. Everything will be set for my students in their size, so it can be easier for them to learn and have fun. The classroom will have a print rich environment where my students’ paper will be hanging all over so they can show their parents. I want my students to be able to achieve all the challenges that they are put through and even to challenge themselves and practice every time they don't succeed. I want them to be ready to go to the next lever of learning.
I believe playing is an essential part of learning for young kids. I also believe playing is the best way my students can learn. When children play they discover how to do things on their own it enables them to I will set the classroom with many playing activities and fun ways to learn.

My future goal for growing as a teacher is to make sure that I educate myself in order to expand my knowledge about being a teacher. I might not be a teacher right now but I’m already in my journey to being one. So I want to be able to be a part of a childcare or to volunteer in schools to have more experience about teaching and interacting with the students. I want to keep loving what I do and not find it as a job that I have to do but something that I enjoy doing. I believe the way I can still learn and grow as a professional is by going to workshops and becoming friend with my fellow teachers and come together to make a better place for our student. To gather and share ideas among each other; we all teachers have one focus which is our students and they should always come first.
As for my classroom, it would probably be very busy in regards to appearance and activity. I think surrounding the students with pictures and things of that sort related to class is very conducive to a positive educational environment. I would somewhere have a student prepared locations where students are responsible for researching and displaying a topic probably after presenting it to the class.
...ctive. Play is an essential learning tool and one that must not be ignored within the classroom. It is a catalyst to help children develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. It is not only an important part of a child’s development as a pupil but also a child’s development as an individual.
In the movie The Matrix, Morphis says to Neo “I can only show you the door, I can’t open it for you.” The door that Morphis is talking about is this incredible vast knowledge that is unknown to Neo. What better person to show, to teach, to inform Neo than his teacher, Morphis. You see, I see myself as Morphis, the teacher, whenever I step into a classroom. As I look across the room, there isn’t just one “Neo”, but there are thirty or forty Neos. This is an extreme job for someone that understands how hard it is to open that door.
I believe that the purpose of education is to produce the next generation of leaders who are intelligent and have great character. This idea is supported in the article “The Purpose of Education” by Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist who fought for black and white people to have equal rights in America. He writes about the true purpose, and meaning of education in the article by saying, “Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction (MLK1).” This quote from the article explains that being academically educated is very important. It will help people stand up, be a leader, and take charge to make the world a better place for everyone. That gallant leader will argue against the fallacy, lies,
Every year I have had a teacher who has always went that extra mile to make sure I thoroughly understood each and every lesson. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher; I want to be like all those teachers who helped me through the years.
I will be studying the field of Education after graduating, helping the younger generation with English. I am currently volunteering at Boys and Girls club, by tutoring and helping them with homework. I have been dreaming of being a teacher since I was little; wanting to express my true gift. The joy of being in the field of Education is knowing that you are giving the youth the ability to learn and to give them insight on wanting to know more.
As a school counselor, my mission is to help students learn about themselves and develop in three areas; personal/social, education, and career. I believe that every student has a gift that was given by God and my goal is to help students identify those gifts and purse those gifts to become successful students and citizens.
“Physical education teachers, also called P.E. teachers, instruct students in health, fitness and sports. They may work in public or private schools, teaching students in grades K-12.The main focus of Physical education teachers is to improve the person’s knowledge of the body and make their bodies better physically and mentally. ” (study.com). In physical education I plan to help kids or even adults better themselves. I want people to be healthy and physically in shape. I want to make a difference in the community. Physical Education is a way to help people and build some discipline/character in the school systems. “In fact, many studies are now displaying that kids who are substantially active also perform better in the classroom.” (www.sparkpe.org).
Ever since I was in the seventh grade I knew that teaching was the profession for me. I had a wonderful teacher, Cathy Adkins, who was and still is my greatest inspiration. She was not like any teacher I had in the past. She was different. I call it the “personal effect,” because she just wasn’t a teacher, she was a friend. I know we are taught not to make friends with students, but it really does make a difference. I want to be the kind of teacher that a student feels comfortable coming to about anything, one that can take time out of there personal life because a student needs them. I want to make a difference; I will make a difference, even if it is just one child. Maybe that one child could change the world.
During my public school years, I played practically every role possible in the classroom. At one time or another, I was the most popular student, the kid everybody picked on, the genius, the dummy, the teacher’s pet, and the student that the teachers wished would stay home. After playing all these different roles, I’ve come to the conclusion that each one is needed for a well-rounded classroom. Each has something special and significant to offer to the classroom. I think that these students should be allowed to interact and influence each other in order to broaden their overall thinking. No one’s ideas should be disregarded or thought less of than anyone else’s, as is common place in many public schools these days. If the teacher, who is usually the one disregarding these ideas, would just take the time to listen, they too might learn something new or exciting. This is the reason I want to become a teacher.
It is a constant truth that technology is growing rapidly and it is opening up many opportunities for students as well as teachers. Through the use of the internet information that would take scholars months to acquire out and interpret can be found in less than a minute though a Google search and not only is the information their, but in many cases the information that you wanted is shown in bolded so it can even be found quicker.
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” (Dale Carnegie) This quote best fits my views toward education. I feel that a majority of students, today, dread going to school and no longer look at it with a positive mentality. I believe this attitude toward schools is why overall grade performance has decreased and United States students rank lower when compared to students of foreign countries. I want to change all this, at least, in my classroom. I want to restore the positive energy and ambition that some students have lost in education. I want students in my classroom to thirst for new knowledge and have a productive and enjoyable time doing so. I personally believe that students, at all age levels, do their best work, and get more involved, when they are educated in an interesting, creative, and hands-on environment.
Teaching is a very complex profession. Many facets of education need to be taken in order to be successful as a teacher. Teaching is not solely about imparting the skills and knowledge. It is about love and relationships that not only allows learning to happen but encourages children 's development holistically and empowers them to work towards their dreams and becoming who they want to be.
The purpose of education is to teach the basics of knowledge and to challenge each individual to learn. The realization that I will have the power to make a difference in a child’s life is sometimes overwhelming. This remarkable fact gives me a stronger purpose – to be a positive role model for my students. Being an effective teacher is truly an awesome responsibility.
I believe the purpose of education is to teach children how to be successful and happy in life. A teacher’s job is to not only teach subjects such as mathematics, social studies, science, and language arts. It is their job to build character and prepare them for the future. But, this cannot be accomplished without parent involvement. School should be a place where students can feel safe, be themselves, and come together with their teachers and parents to help them create a successful outcome in life. A lot of material should be taught using technology and should be fun and enjoyable for the students.
