MY EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
"The principle goal of education in schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
― Jean Piaget
It is essential for a teacher to encourage their students to develop new ideas. As teachers, we must help our students apply their unique imaginations and individualities both in and out of the classroom. As each generation becomes more technologically advanced, it is our duty as teachers to prepare our everyday lessons in a sense that challenges students minds as well as incorporates new and upcoming technology. By doing so, we will familiarize and engage students with what will be expected of them in the near future. It is our role to provide a solid foundation of a concept that students will internalize instead of memorize. To help our students internalize information, we must create a stimulating environment that actively engages children on a day to day basis!
A vital aspect to an effective learning environment is providing children with freedom to make mistakes. As teachers, we must build a classroom community that helps students gain confidence. Students should feel secure within their classrooms in order to make the mistakes that are necessary to learn and grow academically as well as socially. We must inspire and motivate children most at times when they are personally discouraged by an increasingly difficult curriculum.
My philosophy of education consists of both students and teachers combining their passion, willingness, and ability to gain knowledge together in order to formulate an effective learning environment. By both teachers and students participating in the road to academic excellence, each commitment will be fulfilled. It is both participants responsibility to make education their number one obligation to achieve the highest quality of education.
