Philosophy
My Philosophy of education is the study for the meaning of life. Meaning educating children strongly affects their lives and influences the life of anyone who comes into contact with those children. Education provides a foundation for a child to base the rest of his or her life on. Without a solid education, it becomes impossible for an individual to provide for themselves and their family There are many hidden aspects of being a teacher. Being a teacher means many after hour evenings of grading papers, lesson plans, and phone calls. It also means trying to keep up with all the required paperwork, documenting every move you make, and accountability. Although these aspects may become overwhelming and stressful, there are so many aspects of being a teacher that are more refreshing. You can be a mentor, a good role model and someone a student can look up to you. Being a teacher means providing love and understanding to someone who may not receive it at home. It means taking care of someone who is hurt or just being there to talk to. Being a teacher means teaching students to be a success in life. It also means teaching students new information and being somewhat responsible for their future. The reward in itself greatly exceeds all of the negative and tough aspects.
Today’s children are tomorrow’s future and a good teacher is a part of the base that supports that future. Being a good teacher means making a difference in my children’s lives. In today’s high tech lifestyle it is sometimes difficult to keep kids’ attention in the classroom. Learning needs to be fun and hands on as much as possible in order to keep the children interested and eager to learn. If students are taught in a way they will remember, then in the future they will be able to put this knowledge to use in different situations. There are many other occupations out there that better pay, but I don’t feel that there are any other occupations that can be as rewarding as teaching...
