My philosophy of teaching comes down to three main points, passion, dedication and understanding. According to Webster’s dictionary, passion is a strong like or desire for, or devotion to some activity, object, or concept. As a teacher, you must have a passion and love for children of all ages. You must have a desire for enhancing students’ higher order thinking and pushing them to perform at their greatest ability. As teaching becomes one of the most controversial careers, being passionate about teaching is crucial. I believe that teaching is one of the most important careers in the world.
As teachers we have the world in our hands. We are responsible for not only teaching, but creating smart, strong and independent leaders. We must have an understanding of not only our field, but also an understanding of each individual child that enters our classroom. Teaching revolves around having an understanding that each child comes from a different household and environment; therefore the curriculum used should be altered and adjusted to fit the needs of each child.

I like the way you got straight to the point on YOUR philosophy of teaching.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alot of things you said in your teaching philosophy however, I think you should explain why you believe in these things and how can you use it in your classroom.
