My Goals and Philosophy of Education
I have always leaned toward the profession of education. I feel that a career in education has much to offer, both personally and professionally. The idea of any other career has never been a question; as a child, and now as an adult, I have always known that my interest lay in teaching.
As a child, I would play pretend being a teacher. I had a room full of students who were given assignments and instruction. Also like many students, I had a positive experience with a 5th grade teacher that meant much to me. She treated all of her students equally and approached her job with energy, enthusiasm, and a positive disposition.
I believe that the overall importance of education is to provide students with knowledge that they would perhaps not obtain elsewhere while respecting each student’s individuality. A learning experience is a creative experience, both with knowledge provided by a teacher, books and other teaching aides, and also with the student’s own input.
Education has importance on two different levels. First, it has relevance to the individual. Learning can be fun, stimulating, and exciting to each person. What each person may find fun differs. In addition, education is seen as important to a healthy, responsible, and productive society.
I plan to graduate from Concord College ’s Teacher Education program in 2004 with a 5-12 Social Studies major. While employed as a teacher, I will seek a Masters degree. I do plan to join a teacher’s union and/or other organizations, but at this time, I do not know which one(s).
As a future teacher, I favor John Dewey’s philosophy of Progressivism and its emphasis on being receptive to change. I also a...

I will manage discipline by the initial introduction of rules. When the student breaks one of the rules, I will try to use the technique of least intervention. I also will be uniform and regular about discipline. When I say that I will do something, I will follow up on it. This goes for all aspects of classroom management not just the realm of discipline.
The young teacher is full of ideas and hopes about being able to make their classroom a wonderful, positive, caring, and creative environment. I have some of these desires myself. As I start my career and confront the challenges of working with real people – parents, students, and coworkers – I hope to retain my current ideas and principles. I will, however, follow the theory of John Dewey in that I must remain receptive to the certain changes that will surely come in a long career.
Personally, being an educator gives me a chance to have a great impact on the world. I have always enjoyed seeing the look on someone’s face when they make a new connection or learn something. I have many strong beliefs in the education process and many times feel that the needs of the student are overlooked. As a teacher, the students would be priority and that is the backbone of my teaching philosophy. I know that I am not very experienced and have much to learn. This I will strive to do throughout my education and even when I enter the teacher workforce.
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.
Color is a product of many different things. We physically see color by the light hitting the retina and being absorbed by the rods and cones. Colors are distinguished by sorting them into categories. These could include tint, shade, tone, chroma, value, or hue. It could also be determined by whether a color is primary, secondary, intermediate, or complementary. The illusion of different colors can be created by the colors around a color or placing bits of color very close together as in a television. Afterimages create the opposite of colors. All color is a product of light. Without light, we would only be able to see in black and white (The World Book Encyclopedia p 818, 819, 822, 823).
Since I was a young child, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I can remember forcing my sisters to play school with me, just so I could be their teacher. I enjoyed showing them new, fun math or reading games. Then I loved it when they were able to take what they learned in the game and put it to use on other thing. Now as a mom, I enjoy working with my own kids and helping them learn the many things they are taught in school.
Coke and Pepsi have been raging war for over a century now, turning their sodas into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Coke has been able to drive more earnings for its bottom line, and while Coke’s net income has been trending downward in recent years, it manages to stay ahead thanks to superior margins. Pepsi, on the other hand, has produced consistent net profit margins of around 10%, while Coke margins have been in the 15-18% range for the past several years (O’Brien). Every company has a Market Cap, which is basically a fancy way of saying how much the company is worth, and Coca-Cola’s market cap is a whopping $180 billion. Pepsi’s Market Cap is $150 billion, which may not seem like a big difference, but $30 billion is a lot of cheddar. Therefore, Coca-Cola owns 51% of the soft drink market, whereas Pepsi only owns 22% of it. Coke claims to own a total of 35 different brands, including Fanta, Sprite, Powerade, Vitaminwater, and many others. Pepsi owns 22 different brands, including 7up, Gatorade, and Mountain Dew “Coke (Coca-Cola) vs Pepsi - Soda
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.

I believe that teaching is the single most important aspect of life. Not only is teaching an imperative career, but teaching outside of the profession is very important. People gain knowledge of new things every day and learning is something that continues throughout your whole life, in and out of school. My personal experiences in life have made me want to be a teacher. These influences come from my family and teachers that I have had. My aunt taught elementary school and is now the superintendent of education in our county; my younger sister let me teach her as we were growing up and a combination of these inspired me to pursue a career in education. I had many teachers that made me want to learn, these are people that I have a great deal of respect for. These are people that made me want to teach.
...d argues that organized crime operates as a governance structure mostly addressed to the underworld so that its activities cannot be reduced to the supply of illegal goods. Contrary to Schelling’s claim (1971), extensive evidence exists that the services offered by MCOs can be ultimately genuine. For instance, scholars have established that MCOs are able to supply genuine services like protection against extortion; protection against theft and police harassment; protection in relation to credit obtained informally and the retrieval of loans; and the settlement of a variety of social disputes. The Mafia offers protection services to entrepreneurs of illegal commodities, such as protection for thieves, prostitutes, loan sharks and drug dealers. Mafiosi also protect their clients against law enforcement, or enforce illegal agreements and deals among corrupt actors.
Education is the very foundation in which we as individuals grow, and formulate the knowledge we gain through life into meaningful ways of adapting to the world.
Education is essential for everyone. Education plays a critical role in the development of a generation of individuals that is virtuous and in turn contributes to the development of good people. Through education, a person is able to develop mentally, but also physically and socially. To the youths, education is important as it helps them to develop the principles of life, enables them to make the correct career decisions and also prepares them in the pursuit of the goals that they may have set for themselves in life. I strongly believe that a good, heck, or even a regular education is a right that cannot be taken away. Education is a right and not a privilege.
Even today people struggle to wrap their minds around the idea of education outside the walls of a classroom and school. However, Dewey is not trying to rid the world of the mold of a school, rather he is simply trying to change the way we look at how we learn and by doing so chance the way we teach. For the teache...
I chose education as my career path after working in a classroom to fulfill a Field Study course. The children had a powerful impact; they were amazing; challenging, and most of all loving. In helping them, I quickly realized that I was the one receiving the gift that ultimately inspired me down the path of serving disadvantaged children. After experiencing two semesters in classrooms, I realized my enthusiasm for teaching was not a mere in-the-moment feeling but rather a genuine enthusiasm. I became aware that teachers are an important foundation in society and I look forward to the opportunity to develop the skills children need to adapt and apply for the rest of their lives by encouraging knowledge, character and resilience.
Their advertising techniques set them apart as Coca-Cola still seems to market themselves as a “classic” company, and Pepsi seems to be more interested in modern methods market themselves. I am not discrediting anything that is classic, but as the world continues to grow and innovate we must move with it, if we continue to live in the past we will be left behind. Coca-Cola’s included image of Marilyn Monroe, a “classic” icon, and Pepsi’s included image of Beyoncé Knowles, a “modern” icon proves this point, which is why would Pepsi’s advertisement is more effective at attracting
Education should be a part of everyone's life. A good education offers something for everyone, whether it be on the simple level or a more complex one. Education should provide provide an opportunity for students to develop a strong sense of creativity, a high self esteem, and a life long respect for learning. Education should help students establish a strong sense of confidence in themselves. A teacher will be one factor that helps a student learn and progress along their way through life. Teachers combine their own ideas with other people's to be able to give a good education to their students.
