My Education Philosophy Statement
Education Philosophy Statement
My perception of education is that it must enrich the lives of students, regardless of their background, challenges, or learning abilities. It can arouse a lifetime commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, it can provide gratification at simply having knowledge about the world, and it can establish the groundwork individuals need in order to pursue a successful career, for the profession of teaching is what makes all other professions possible.
I believe that teaching should be a partnership, a partnership between the teacher or instructor and the parent(s) and/or guardian(s).

A teacher must be able to employ a variety of teaching techniques and methods in order to maximize the learning experience. This also includes meeting the needs of students who are learning at a different pace.
Teachers also have a responsibility in making the classroom a safe and comfortable learning environment for their students. Because a child’s home life may be less than perfect, they should ever have to worry about entering a school where they do not feel comfortable in positively expressing themselves nor should they have to fear bullying from other classmates. A child who is not distracted by these worries is a child who is more focused on
