MY TEACHING – LEARNING STYLE AND PHILOSOPHY

Ms Sanjukta Chatterjee, TGT MATHS and SCIENCE

I believe that teachers are obligated to hold students to only the highest expectations. Doing so
encourages the students to think highly of themselves, in return, and maximizes the benefits that
accompany a self-fulfilling prophecy. I believe that with perseverance and hard work, students
will rise to the occasion. Teaching is a process of learning from students, colleagues and parents,
and I aim to bring a positive attitude, open mind and high expectations for my students into the
classroom each day. I believe I owe it to my class to bring warmth and consistency to inspire
those same traits in my students.

My decision to pursue teaching as a career is in part due to my desire to make a positive impact
on kids’ lives. Teaching is a highly rewarding profession, and I cannot think of a better way to
contribute to my community. I am a fifth-generation teacher and grew up in an environment
where education was considered essential for a successful future.

My teaching style is one that incorporates small-group and one-on-one teaching. I believe this
allows each student to integrate knowledge into a beneficial framework and gives them the
safety and security of a positive learning environment. I strive to remain a strong source of
nurturing support, encouraging the students to do their best and getting to know them and their
learning styles.

My students must feel that they matter, that their opinions and ideas are valuable and that they
are safe to express them. Therefore, I believe it’s essential that the teachers, parents and school
community work together to create a collaborative learning environment for our students.

In conclusion, my ultimate goal as a teacher is to provide high-quality, individualized instruction

to meet the unique needs of each student. I aspire to create a learning environment that is
inspiring, making my students feel safe and secure. I aim to leave a legacy that other teachers
and my students will remember: that I was a kind, warm person with a true passion for teaching.
