My Teaching Philosophy In today’s society a teacher’s job is not only to provide basic education while shaping the mind for logical and abstract thinking but also to be a solid, stable mentor in students’ lives. Teaching is very important to me because it gives me an opportunity to mold a child’s future. Education is power, and through my teaching I am able to give my students the tools necessary to succeed. Every single child in my classroom deserves and has the right to an exceptional education. Preparing students to make a difference in the world also includes assisting them in discovering who they are as individuals. In my classroom I focused on four main aspects, which include: 1. Student centered 2. Active learning 3. Student interaction 4. Critical thinking. My teaching involves student-centered activities where students are always interacting with each other. To me it is very important for students to take responsibility for their learning. Active learning is always happening and students have to be thinking critically. Letting my students struggle and work together when discussing a topic gives me a chance to assess how everyone is doing. In a language classroom everything the students do is being assessed. Participation plays a big role on how I assess my students and how I adjust my teaching. With a 90% target language goal, students have to be constantly interacting with each other. They work on presentations, plays and activities where everyone’s input is important to the learning. During the group discussions students need to participate and give their opinions. As an educator, I believe that learning should be taking place in every classroom during every lesson. The main focus of education is to create individuals who not only strive for excellence for themselves but for their peers and their community.

...well to them. My goals is to be of great assistance to students who are either striving for the highest goals or struggling to put the pieces together. With both ends of the spectrum, I am willing to lend every faculty I possess to help my students achieve their goals and push further.... Students aren't computers; they are people like anyone else, and teaching methods have to take the individuality of a student into consideration before deciding a proper approach and course of difficulty.
