Philosophy of Teaching

Being a teacher is a rewarding experience. I have come to hold personal beliefs about teaching at the elementary grade level. I teach because I believe. I believe that I can make a difference to the future by producing individuals who are critical thinkers and responsible citizens. I also believe that every child is a unique individual. As a result, I provide my students with varying learning activities to accommodate different learning styles and abilities. Furthermore, I believe that students learn from each other. That is why, in my classroom, you will see students cooperating with one another to achieve common goals. As a teacher, I am responsible for increasing student achievement. I do this by creating learning activities with real world applications so that learning is meaningful for students. I also achieve this by providing a safe, positive, and student-centered environment. Finally, I believe that learning and education should be a memorable time. By instructing at the elementary grade level, I expect to provide my students with the most lasting, positive experience of their lives.
