Educational Philosophy 

 

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.

The great teacher inspires."
--William Arthur Ward

My goal for becoming a successful teacher is to create a positive classroom environment where students feel comfortable to take educational risks.  I plan to support my students and guide them toward success.  I will do my best to make learning enjoyable and meaningful for each student.  As a future educator, I will challenge and encourage students to reach their full potential. 

I think it is important for students to learn how to work together and share ideas.  I am passionate about incorporating teamwork into the classroom.  I plan to integrate teambuilding activities into the curriculum to give the students a sense of partnership.  I want to foster a positive learning environment and support the students with their academic growth. 

I have a true commitment for education and enjoy learning how I can improve my teaching strategies.  I want the students to share my enthusiasm for topics discussed in class.  I believe teaching is a very rewarding career and will offer me a lifetime of fulfillment.
