I believe this is because of the vast home lives students come from and the various issues that students face today. Many of the students that I have worked with on my field experience come from dysfunctional homes or broken homes. This creates many problems; both emotional and behavioral. As a future teacher, it is important to keep this in mind when working with students. Teachers today evaluate the
I believe having positive dispositions are the key to a healthy and fulfilling classroom, and as a future teacher, I know the importance of evaluating my dispositions on a consistent basis. I have reflected upon my strengths and weaknesses as a future educator, and an area of strength for me is in reflection. Reflection will also be an important part of my professional teaching because it will allow me to assess my strengths and identify areas for improvement. Through the practice of self-reflection
As a future teacher I want to be as fair as possible for my future students, despite their ethnicity, gender, or economic statues. I grew up in an area where the majority of the people where Hispanic, most of the students in school where Hispanic, the second largest ethnicity where African Americans, but Hispanic still dominate. Growing up in this rural area, you can see how discriminating it can be for things, when it came to academic opportunities for students. My high school was one of the largest
As a future educator, there are qualities I must look inside myself for. Through this course I have discovered that there are many things that I did not know or had not taken into account when I embarked on this journey. As a future teacher of middle schoolers in America I will work tirelessly and reflect on my personal teaching philosophy that reflects my morals, values and ideals both as a teacher and an individual. I aspire to be someone that my students can look up to and to assist them as they
Diamonds in the Rough “A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.” -Horace Mann I feel education is a human right for all and should be tailored to fit each child’s need. All students should be given equal opportunities and a nurturing, intellectual atmosphere. Education is the single greatest factor for the future of the student and of the fate of our nation. I will make it my mission as a teacher to support the growth of
As a future teacher I believe that students can be taught self-discipline. Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory suggests that people learn from one another through observation, imitation and modeling. This is why modeling is an essential aspect of my philosophy. It is important for teachers to model the behavior they expect from their students. I believe that students are basically good, but there are times when everyone needs redirection and guidance. I view students as equals in the sense of

Education possesses many roles in the perspective of different realms: the nation, the school, the teachers and the students. At different levels, different objectives are set. Over the years, we have seen several radical changes and transformations of our educational objectives according to the dynamics of the globalised world. On the national level
Professional Philosophy I am a future physical education teacher. I believe in educating the child as an individual. Each child has different educational needs. No matter what kind of challenge a person faces, if they have the right support they can overcome and accomplish anything they set their mind too. I believe in every child, anyone can learn and participate in an event, some accommodations may have to be made, but the world is an adaptable place. Sense the world started it has adapted

As I stood outside listening to instructions before entering Highlands Elementary School, which is dedicated to educate any students that walk through their door, I was having mixed emotions.. As a future teacher, I was excited because it was going to be such an amazing experience to be in a classroom with kids and being able to teach them but as a regular student, I was nervous because I did not know if the kids were going to like me, whether or not, I would be able to make a difference in their
students should not just learn the content, but that students should be the center of education. Students should have a personalized education that appeals to the “whole person”. Teachers can help create the whole person by developing relationships with the students and managing their classrooms. Also teacher-to-teacher collaboration is essential for student growth. The schools should cultivate an atmosphere where students can mature and succeed in every aspect of life. In the 1910s
As a future teacher, my teaching philosophy is that I want to be known as the teacher that teaches outside the box and does not have a limit to what I teach. I would like to educate the students on learning how to look for more resources to learn and not just stick to what they learn in class. I prefer to be known as the teacher that gives a lot of work and teaches big lessons but that the students can say that they do learn and fully understand what they are seeing in class. I want to prepare my
class is much more than just that. I figured there would be group discussions consisting of some controversial issues, but I had no idea how the course would make me feel as a person and as a future educator. So far, this class has brought to light the incredibly difficult decisions I will have to make as a teacher. Not only will those decisions affect the child and parents of that child at hand, but myself as well. Being asked to write a personal story for each week has really guided my learning in

The goal of the study involved seeking understanding of a situation and examining the teachers’ views regarding fairness. Fairness is investigated because it holds implications for teachers’ ideals and pedagogy of inclusion. Sample Participants in the study by Berry
As a future teacher, it feels intimidating thinking about having English language learners in a classroom full of English speaking students. I have never thought about having students who do not speak English in a classroom until recently because of our class discussions and the reading assignments. Therefore, since I am going to be an educator, I am glad to be aware that having ELL students in my future classroom is a possibility. I want to be a successful teacher for every student who walks into
As a result of my work as a counselor-in-training at Camp Winacka, I was awarded a Future Teacher Scholarship to Mount St. Mary’s University upon graduation from high school. At this small, culturally-diverse, women’s liberal arts school, I simultaneously earned a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with the intent to teach elementary school. However, my experiences with the Women’s Leadership Program and student teaching experience influenced me to decide
In My Classroom Every teacher has a different method of teaching. The teachers that I have had in my school career have been no exception. In this way, each teacher has set an example for me, as a future teacher, to follow or not to follow as I see fit. With the examples from my teachers and in continuing my education, I am developing my own method of teaching. I plan to use a combination of teaching methods in my own classroom. My method will be an eclectic approach because I will be using
research I have read while there is a disagreement on when and how much of a gender gap exists in math and science, there is definitely an equity issue that needs addressing. There seems to be an abundance of information about equity issues and as a future teacher I feel that it is important to examine these issues. If gender equity issues exist in today's’ classrooms why do they and what can be done to help correct it. Everything I've read so far states that a gender gap exists in science, while opinions
