Teaching students stems from the fact that education is a combination of art and science. It is an art because there is so much flexibility and freedom involved. It is a science because there is a lot of research behind strategies and procedures implemented in the classroom. Therefore, I believe it is necessary to incorporate both the art and the science of education in order to have an effective classroom. I also believe that hands-on activities, cooperative learning, connections to real life experiences, and opportunities to read and write are the major components toward creating successful lifelong learners.
I know that the first step towards teaching effectively is by implementing efficient classroom management and getting to know your students. Therefore, it is vital for my classroom to be organized and for rules and procedures to be set in place. It is also important for me to build strong relationships with my students in order to relate to them more and make their learning more meaningful and fun to them.
I believe that every student has the potential to be a successful learner as long as I provide the type of learning environment that they need. They need to feel safe, have fun, be motivated, and feel appreciated. I also believe that children should be inspired, encouraged, and guided towards finding that inner curiosity and desire of wanting to learn. I cannot wait to have my own classroom in order apply my educational philosophy and change lives!
