Educational Philosophy
My philosophy of education is that every child should have the right to learn and get a quality education. Every child that enters into my classroom should feel safe and comfortable; an environment full of nurturing and enriching.
A teacher should be aware of his/her students' emotional, social, psychological, and physical development as well as their cognitive growth. To this end, a teacher should view parents and community members as true partners in the educational process.
Individualized instruction is an integral strategy to aid children with different learning preferences. In order to meet individual challenges, lessons must be structured into learning modalities by incorporating auditory, kinesthetic, and visual techniques. Applying a variety of approaches to the learning process is equally important, Use of cooperative learning strategies, integration of technology into the classroom, as well as guided individual instruction are all necessary to provide an environment where children will use self-discovery and a hands-on approach to learning.
Learning is a means of assessment, assessment drives instruction. Assessment resembles good instruction when it occurs during typical learning activities. In order to facilitate learning I will involve students in the process of assessment by showing them rubrics of their work, giving them a self-check and self-evaluation exercise, and have them learn self-appraisal, This will help students develop the ability to judge their own accomplishment and to set goals for themselves.
Learning should be fun and exciting! My classroom will be an inviting and safe place where children will feel comfortable.
