Philosophy+of+Eduaction

Philosophy of Education I believe that schools are learning centers of our future. Having a clear vision for your school and creating a positive school climate are essential in attaining an effective learning environment. Acting in the best interest for the students will help ensure an effective learning environment. Teachers help these centers produce excellent citizens. Teaching and modeling certain qualities will help in creating a positive learning environment where students can learn to their fullest potential. One of these qualities is having high expectations for your students. I believe by having high expectations will set a standard in the school for every child to succeed. I believe that every child has something to contribute to our society. Besides having high expectations of your students, a teacher must have high expectations for themselves. In order for a teacher to provide a classroom that is the most conducive of learning, a teacher must always be perfecting their trade. I believe that teachers need to keep an open mind to new teaching techniques in order to run a successful classroom. An effective teacher is always searching for new ways to spark that one child who has a hard time grasping a subject or skill. Home environment is another important factor that has shaped my philosophy of education. Parents have a great effect on their child’s future. I realize the importance of good school and home communications. I understand that children bring to school much more than the backpack on their backs. They bring with them experiences from home, good and bad. As a teacher, I realize that we have a much larger duty to children than just teaching them their lessons. Children need to understand that they are loved and cared for by their teachers. The development and maintenance of a clear school vision centered on student success is essential. A focus on high expectations for students coupled with a positive school climate contributes to the creation of an effective learning environment.
