I am currently a Special Education Teacher for Southern Westchester BOCES. I am a young, highly motivated teacher with an amazing amount of initiative. My teaching philosophy centers on one thing: learning. This takes several steps. First, a teacher cannot perform his or her duties without first developing a solid understanding of the material. Thus, a teacher must engage the material through study that may last decades, if not a lifetime. Indeed, the best teachers, in my opinion, are the ones who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of knowledge in not only their specific field, but also related fields. In my case, this means beyond Social Studies and includes every subject field. Only after mastering the material can one claim to have the depth of knowledge required to teach. Even then, teachers must improve, so their teaching does not become stale and outdated. Therefore, the first step to good teaching is learning - and continuing to learn. Teaching and learning, however, are not simply about immersion in one's field. Some of the worst teachers are those who have committed themselves only to research and discovery in their field. I believe my approach to a broad knowledge of subjects, from Arithmetic to Technology are all important.
