Educational Philosophy

My Educational Philosophy

I want to show my students that I care for them as individuals and not just as part of a class. I feel students have a better learning environment if they feel they can trust their teacher. Also by being able to feel as if their teacher cares for them more than just the person sitting in the desk in front of them. I don’t want to let students settle. The teachers I remember most from my career as a student are the ones who always pushed me to be the very best I could be. I have to understand that not all students are “A” students and if a “B” is their very best then that is what we should strive for. As a teacher, I must understand that each student learns differently and I must adapt my teaching methods to get the very best from each student. Some students learn from watching me work problems on the board and them working it out along with me, while others are able to learn it better by just working on the problems themselves. I must remember that I have to mix up my teaching methods to enhance every brain in the classroom. I want to touch people's lives and by being a teacher I feel that is the best way for me to do that. I want to impact my students the way my teachers have. I understand that most of that will come with time but I want to eventually touch the lives of hundreds of kids. I want to be the teacher my students remember most.
