Teaching Philosophy
To me the most important part of teaching is to keep the
students engaged in learning. Other very important aspects of my teaching
philosophy include differentiating my instruction to all types of learners, and
creating a safe, comfortable and compassionate environment for the students to
learn in.
I really believe that you have to care about what you are
learning for it to have any real affect on you. As a teacher I would strive to
connect my lessons to my students in engaging ways that would help them expand
upon previous knowledge to create something new with lasting impact.
I believe all learners are unique. It is important to take
into account all of a class’s specific learning styles, strengths, and
limitations when planning a lesson to include everyone and encourage them to
think in new ways while still supporting their previously mastered functions of
learning.
In my experience, some of the worst classrooms I have been
in are the ones with poor learning environments, not just physical but
emotional environments as well. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable
learning environment free of animosity and hurtful comments. Students in my
classroom should feel encouraged to participate freely in their learning.
I agree!
