Philosophy of Ed

My name is Bethany Wilson. I am a senior at the illustrious Claflin University in

Orangeburg, SC. Reminiscing on my educational journey; Ive realized just how many
influential teachers Ive had through the years. They were always there to encourage and
motivate me to get involved into activities I would benefit from. They made sure their class
policies and instructions were strictly enforced. Relating my skills to those my teachers showed
me, I will strictly base my philosophy on classroom management, motivation, and assessments.
Classroom Management plays a colossal role in developing an effective learning
environment for students. It could determine the success of each individual. Management in the
classroom is being able to set certain standards for students to abide by. I will make it a priority
to uphold classroom management as a future educator and make sure students understand the
importance of a structured environment.
Another aspect dealing with my philosophy of education is motivation. Motivating
students to achieve and accomplish is a huge characteristic in succeeding. As a student growing
up and having different teachers with different morals and ethics, I often gravitated to those who
were nurturing. One never forgets the teachers who were willing to go the extra mile to see their
students flourish. Motivating students could be the difference in them graduating or not
graduating. My duty should be to motivate and submit to those students who are potentially
capable of greater things but are unsure of what path to take. Motivation in my classroom is
imperative.
Lastly, assessing students to see their improvement and development is also an obligation
to my future classroom. Assessments are important because it measures where the child stands
in their learning abilities. This is especially important when trying to place students into
advanced placement classes. I will distribute standardized test to see just how well my students
are able to understand concepts and grasp material. Assessing how well my students learn is a
very important factor in creating an effective learning environment.
My classroom will be a beacon for knowledge. Classroom Management, Motivation, and
Assessing students are going to be the sole focus in my teaching. These educational
characteristics will in fact help my students in achieving and accomplishing goals.
