my teaching philosophy

My Teaching Philosophy A teacher is a person who creates an environment that is conducive to learning, a place where students can immerse themselves in a subject or discipline as they assimilate a body of requisite information, concepts, and/or skills. Learning is not a passive process, it requires motivation, effort, and persistence. Good students enter the learning environment with a commitment to scholarship, a willingness to work, and a sense of personal responsibility toward achieving their educational goals. Good teachers provide an environment that is challenging yet supportive. They set goals and deadlines. They furnish resources, critique performance, and provide enough stimulation to minimize distractions and sustain motivation. Despite the best intentions and methods, the most effective teacher in the world cannot teach someone who is unwilling to learn. The idea that students must be active participants in the learning process is diametrically opposed to the currently fashionable view that the student is a 'customer' and the school is merely a vendor of knowledge and degrees.. Being a future teacher someday is a great responsibility, but this is also a grand opportunity to demonstrate all I have learned. When I take this course I imagined what kind of teacher I become to be in the future, what kind of atmosphere I create inside the classroom, I have so many question in my mind. But at the end I prepared to think that I need to set my goal of what kind or way of teaching I need to do to help my future students because I know that every students or children have their own different capabilities. My philosophy of teaching is to provide a classroom environment where students are encouraged to express their own ideas and participate in their education experience. Although I stress individual responsibility for learning in the class, I also provide explanation and guidance regarding the course materials and subject matter. I want my students to enjoy the interaction in my classroom and to be challenged by the intellectual discussion of course material. The purpose of this document is to illustrate my philosophy of teaching.

My Teaching PhilosophyA teacher is a person who creates an environment that is conducive to learning, a place where students can immerse themselves in a subject or discipline as they assimilate a body of requisite information, concepts, and/or skills. Learning is not a passive process, it requires motivation, effort, and persistence. Good students enter the learning environment with a commitment to scholarship, a willingness to work, and a sense of personal responsibility toward achieving their educational goals. Good teachers provide an environment that is challenging yet supportive. They set goals and deadlines. They furnish resources, critique performance, and provide enough stimulation to minimize distractions and sustain motivation. Despite the best intentions and methods, the most effective teacher in the world cannot teach someone who is unwilling to learn. The idea that students must be active participants in the learning process is diametrically opposed to the currently fashionable view that the student is a 'customer' and the school is merely a vendor of knowledge and degrees.. Being a future teacher someday is a great responsibility, but this is also a grand opportunity to demonstrate all I have learned. When I take this course I imagined what kind of teacher I become to be in the future, what kind of atmosphere I create inside the classroom, I have so many question in my mind. But at the end I prepared to think that I need to set my goal of what kind or way of teaching I need to do to help my future students because I know that every students or children have their own different capabilities.My philosophy of teaching is to provide a classroom environment where students are encouraged to express their own ideas and participate in their education experience. Although I stress individual responsibility for learning in the class, I also provide explanation and guidance regarding the course materials and subject matter. I want my students to enjoy the interaction in my classroom and to be challenged by the intellectual discussion of course material. The purpose of this document is to illustrate my philosophy of teaching.I believe that our student is our future, thats why I need to be a good example to them someday when I teach them. Each of our students has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. Teaching is an important and honorable occupation that demands commitment. There are miracles, learning, healing, laughter, sharing and love every day in classrooms all around the world. A teacher has the opportunity to impact students lives in a positive way. As a future teacher I want to create an atmosphere that encourages curiosity and sheer determination, our classroom is a place where students feel important, cared, for and believe in. I want to become a teacher who makes it possible for my future students to reach their full potential, ask questions, learn from their mistakes, give and receive feedback, create and try their best, in the classroom, real world problems are solve and each students believes that they can make a difference in the world.
