My Teaching Philosophy

                                                         My Teaching Philosophy

As a teacher in the classroom, it is important to create an educational philosophy.  It can provide students with a basis for how you the teacher view their learning environment and classroom management.  It also provides the teacher with direction on how they want to provide instruction and maintaining a structured learning environment where their students will be able to embrace new learning.  My personal goals as a teacher are to provide my students with as many resources as I can to provide them with skills that will contribute to future learning and success.  Technology will be a major part of this learning.  There are new and exciting programs that I as a teacher can use to help students be more prepared for the future. Technology also makes it easier on both the teachers and the students in providing instant access to assignments and feedback.  I chose My Teaching Metaphor to be like a rose.  A rose begins as a bulb placed in the ground.  You can provide it with what it needs to grow.  As it grows, thorns (obstacles) arise along the stem, but eventually with love and care a rose blossoms.  I as a teacher want to provide love and care to my students and let them know that even though things are hard to learn sometimes if they keep trying they will blossom into something wonderful.
