DEBATE

Creative Personal Philosophy of Education and Apply It in Real Teaching Settings

In this post I will outline the foundations of my professional practice. I will state my own personal values and explain how these affect my teaching. I will also list the important social and cultural values that I take into consideration in my professional practice. I will draw upon my knowledge of child development and of best practice in education to outline programming issues that are at the core of my personal teaching philosophy. I believe that each person has the right to self-development and realization of their own potential. Therefore I will design my programmed to accommodate this for each individual child. I will take time each day to reflect how my programmed meets the needs of individual children. I believe that the teaching profession is one aspect of my life that allows me to reach my own intellectual and spiritual potential. Therefore I will continue to reflect upon and celebrate my own achievements. I will endeavor to reflect individually and with others, as this will enhance my thinking. I believe in the saying ‘it takes a whole village to raise a child’. Therefore it is my responsibility to take part in caring for all children that are a part of my life; in my own family, in my community, in my own classroom, and in other classrooms. I value physical health and well-being and believe they are essential for a happy life. Therefore I will promote healthy practices and physical activity for my students. I will also aim at maintaining my own personal health and well-being to model these to the children and to keep in the best possible physical state to be able to do my job well. I value learning as a lifelong process. Therefore I see myself as a learner and will continue to make the most of every learning opportunity, from within and outside of the teaching profession, engaging in discussion and discovering other viewpoints

    As a teacher of young children I am aware of the need to involve parents in child’s educational and developmental process.

    “No one should ever be locked away simply because they share the same race, ethnicity, religion, as a spy or terrorist. If that principle was not learned from the internment of Japanese Americans, then these are very dangerous times for our democracy” (Korematsu). Those were the words of Fred Korematsu, a Japanese civil rights hero who fought courageously in 1944 against the United States on the Internment of Japanese Americans. Korematsu’s actions sparked a movement in national history and at the time, no one could ever defy or rely on the government for help towards minorities. Japanese Americans committed no actoricies to be mass incarnated away from their homes, so why were they automatically outed for being a threat to mankind? Easily, social and racial attitudes in America had shifted after the Pearl Harbor attack executed by the Japanese on December 7th, 1941. Americans easily evolved into a whole chaotic cesspool of fear, violence, and outright racism was subjected to Japanese Americans. Anti-Japanese sentiment was rising on the edge such as signs marking “No Japs Allowed!” and soon Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt, 32th president of the United States was pressured into creating executive order 9066, which was effective in…

    To maintain a commitment to professionalism, I understand that communication is important. Not just with the children and other teachers, but with the parent’s as well. I feel that the parents are the primary teachers and I am the secondary teacher. Good communication can help with earning the parents trust as well as their participation and support. This also allows me to inform the parents of their child’s daily activities, development, and any problems or concerns I may have, and it also allows the parents to feel comfortable enough to express any concerns or suggestions they may also have.…

    I believe that children can learn through play, interacting with others, their experiences, and hands-on learning activities. Creating a community in the classroom environment is the beginning for setting the child up for a successful year academically and socially for their development. Age appropriate resources are available everywhere in the classroom at the child’s access. Children should be able to depend on their classroom community by the consistency of guidance and schedule of routines that are present. By doing this I am able to provide that feeling of safety that is associated with predictability for children needs and expectations.…

    I believe that young children learn best through exploration and hands on experience. They should be encouraged to discuss and socialize with other children. Children should be interested in the learning topic, and teacher’s need to plan their activities accordingly. I believe that the activity should involve more than three domains; this way the learning will benefit as well as the child will learn to multitask. I believe that all of the learning should be child-initiated and teacher supported. Children need to also use some open-ended material which will develop their imagination. Children learn each minute that they are awake, so teachers just need to provide a clean, safe environment with a lot of useful…

This helped me to identify which areas of my practice I have chosen to focus on in relation to the benchmark, i.e. the Common Core competencies.…

    As a teacher, one of my main roles is to motivate my learners, to develop their ability to learn also to develop my learner’s aspiration to learn. When you train to teach you read about delivering training and how to facilitating learning, but in reality you do much more than that, your role as a teacher is not just about teaching your subject or preparing learners for assessment. The focus of your role as a teacher I feel relates very much to inspiring your learners to change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their ability. My ultimate aim is to enable my learners to understand how to take responsibility for their own development. I would do this by planning and preparing teaching and learning activities that take account of the needs and well-being of individual learners as well as groups of learners.…

    There are many facets of learning today. Teaching has a small role to play in how children learn, but it is a role nonetheless. Learning is multifarious and neuroscientists would argue that learning begins about eighteen days after conception. Many theories have been put forward that suggest learning is made up of several different perspectives as well as individual development and maturation. Once the child has reached school it is up to the teacher to decide which perspective to relate to each individual child to help them learn to their full potential. “Understandings of each [perspective] help teachers become reflective practitioners – to continually examine and critique their own beliefs and how those beliefs and practices affect their students’ learning.” (Churchill et al., 2011, p.100) An understanding of the pedagogy involved is integral to becoming an effective teacher.…
