My Philosophy on Education

My philosophy of education is centered on structures that correlate with progressivism,

existentialism, and constructionism. My goal is to help students pursue their own purpose, experience

real world connections, and become motivated and independent learners. This statement stems from

what I wanted from my teachers as a student and how my experiences and progressions have made me

pursue this career today. Thought my time in education I have had a unique experience that has given

me a blessed incite that goes beyond the mainstream student. This has taught me to look at different

perceptions, abilities, and how to turn fears and inhibitions into strength. Connecting this to teaching

was easy because it spans an acceptance that is innate for teachers to reach their students. Ultimately,

however, the strongest point that influences every aspect of what it means to be a teacher can be

connected into two words: flexibility and patience. With all the content knowledge available today, the

opportunities for training, certifications, and resources available, without having patience and flexibility,

a teacher with any experience level will struggle in this profession.

With my focus based within the sciences I believe it is important to be able to connect the

students to the content as working in the realm of biology can pose challenges for students. Often a

source of struggle, finding different ways to connect the content into real world experiences can instill

curiosity in a student regardless of their interest level. With numbers of students going into the sciences

as a career choice decreasing drastically, I understand how important this work is for student education

and I feel confident that my abilities to introduce topics with enthusiasm and motivation. As and

educator I also understand that my time with students is more than just a job, it’s a career that can

impact students live long after they leave the classroom, whether it be in the sciences or not.
