My Teaching Philosophy

      Every year with teaching, I know that I will develop a more comprehensive philosophy of teaching. I feel privileged to have an amazing career that allows me to touch the hearts of many.

My philosophy is as follows...

 

       Having an impact on a child’s life is the most important goal that I carry with me every day. Leaving a footprint in a child’s heart that they can look back on and remember something that I taught, said, or designed, gives me the ability to say that I have made a difference in someone’s life. I want my students to look back and remember what they learned, what activities they accomplished, and realize that they learned life lessons in my class.

 

       Anonymously said, "If the student fails to learn, the teacher fails to teach." I think it is imperative to make learning inventive and creative so that the students can learn to the best of their abilities, no matter how many teaching strategies it takes for them to understand.
 

       George Orwell said, “Never have ideas about children, and never have ideas for them.” Being positive, inspirational, encouraging, creative, and challenging, allows me to spread my gifts through my students so that they can apply those energies in the classroom and in the future. I will nurture, guide, create values, and develop skills for my students, and prepare them for the lives they have ahead of them. I want them to learn and be inspired with knowledge!

 

       Being an early education teacher, I want to develop a foundation for my students’ learning and help my students create a passion for learning. I want them to look back and apply what they have learned to their future years, and remember how I helped them, personally or psychologically. I want to be a visionary of teaching, and bring a completely different approach to the teaching curriculum.

 

       My strategies and outlooks on education have altered for the better while learning different approaches to teaching from the great educators in history. Learning and developing my own principles of teaching enables me to have an open mind for my young future learners. Changing young lives with my knowledge is my goal that I will live by, day to day.

 

LET THE YEAR BEGIN! :)
