My Teaching Philosophy Statement

My Philosophy Statement I believe that education is one of the most important things a person can have in this world. Without it a child would not be able to grow, change, or learn more information. I believe that school serves the purpose of forming children into young adults by teaching them social, physical, and cognitive skills that are crucial for the real world. They learn about other countries, their own country, but mostly themselves. By getting involved in academic clubs, athletics, or the arts students explore their interests through the school. In the classroom it is the teacher’s responsibility to make sure that each and every student is getting the best education that they possibly can. I believe that teachers do not just teach the students, but that students are able to teach the teachers as well. In my classroom I believe that students benefit immensely from working in small groups where they are able to collaborate and share their own ideas. Hands-on activities and real-life examples are a large piece of my curriculum because I believe children are able to make connections with ideas that are relevant to them in their life. Although not all children learn the same way, I will use a variety of teaching
This generation has known of iPads, iPhones, and all of the apps that come along with it. I will use technology as an advantage in my classroom to teach my students because they can download the same apps at home to get more practice. As teachers I think it is important to use resources that are relevant to the students. I will not have a classroom that is solely based around computers and tablets because I believe that books provide important information as well. Students can not be in front of a screen 24/7 so I will encourage and enforce time in the day when there will be very little or no
