“My Teaching Philosophy”

“Educating the mind of our student’s without educating their heart is useless”,
“I believe that we as teachers in the future are simply resources for our
students. Students need to be able to learn on their own and with their
peers, and teachers should provide students with structure and
guidance. Children will not always have someone there to hold their
hand and provide them with the answers. We have to build confidence
in our students based on them conquering skills. We have to nurture
the entire child, the individual and the future productive member of
society, incorporating existentialist ideology. We have to ground our
philosophy utilizing realism to explain and instruct the explainable,
leaving the unexplainable to individual preference. I feel that we have to
always progress, reform, and improve upon proven methodology.

I feel that it is the teacher’s responsibility to get to know everyone

of her/his students, their weaknesses and their strengths. To build a
personal trust and mentorship with the learner, much as the early
scholar pupil relationships were built. “One of the most difficult
challenges I find is in the number of students we are expected to inspire
and motivate. As well as the difficulties they have with home lives and
outside influences. I initially thought this would be an easy hurdle to
overcome. I have found it much more difficult than I had thought. A
teacher has to ensure that his freedom of speech never steps on
anyone else’s rights.
Lastly, teachers are still human, need to be held to a higher level of
accountability than most other professions. We are not only being expected to
instruct subject matter, but to set standards for the social ability of our students.
This list of ethics would not only strengthen the profession, but society as a
whole. We touch the lives of thousands of youth, promote their wellness, and
educate their minds. Being entrusted with such a remarkable opportunity to mold
our society requires an unwavering commitment .
