EDUCATIONALPHILOSOPHY

Education is a life time commitment of encouraging and

modeling spiritual, physical, and emotional growth in your
classroom.
The greatest sign of success for a teacher. . . is to be able to say, The children
are now working as if I did not exist. ~ Maria Montessori
My mission as an educator is to motivate my students to academic success. I strive to create
an environment that encourages a positive spiritual outlook to education. I expect my
students to be hard workers, honest, and trustworthy. As an educator I will model the
development of good character and Gods love. In respecting my students beliefs and
values, I dont expect them to become someone theyre not but my goal is to instill the
opportunity for positive character development to occur.
The goal of my teaching is to provide my students with information that will allow them to
cooperate, explore, and discover. I want my students to be motivated learners and take the
initiative for their own education. Being the educator I feel it is my duty to challenge my
students to embrace their role as learners in the classroom. My curriculum will be focused
on satisfying the learners needs by providing a safe environment and by promoting critical
thinking and analyzing skills. I want my students to receive a quality education that will
prepare them to endure daily life challenges and to reach their fullest potential. As Frederic
W. Robertson said, Instruction ends in the school!room, but education ends only with life.
In my classroom I strive to create an active learning environment that stimulates mental,
physical, and spiritual growth.
In my philosophy I hope to understand each of my students individual as well as group
learning needs. As a teacher I will be patient, loving, understanding, and encouraging of all
my students. My desire is to reach every childs emotional, physical, and academic needs
and provide them with a safe environment that reveals Gods loving and forgiving character.
