Education
The human race has made significant progress in the past 7 million years. From being
cavemen to now being jet-setting futurists, we have come a long way.
Today, as we gear up to
become a planet of 9 billion people, are we better off than we were millenniums ago? Of course
access to the bare necessities of life has never been easier. Shelter electricity, food, and hygiene
have considerably improved the quality of our lives. But the one essential element that separates
us from the dumb, that helps create better societies, develop virtues, and gives us a sense of
freedom—is Education and many around the world are still deprived of it. A big reasonnwhy I
want to teach is because I want to give every child an equal opportunity to have a great
education. By teaching I want to create an eqal
. A big reason I want to teach is to help children
believe in themselves so they may take a bigger role in society. . I motivate my students to want
to learn without feel like its a chore, while at the same time making sure they reach all the
requirements while having fun. I will engage my students in fun activities while engaging them in
the learning process making sure they are absorbing the information, and showing them what
they can do with the knowledge. By engaging them in the activities they will learn the bigger
picture while having fun. In my classroom I show students that there is more than one way to
learn activities like reading writing and math. I understand that all students learn differently and
will take that into account for all my lessons. To help engage the students in activities that may
be boring and meaningless to them, I will help them understand how the subject connects to the
real world so they can understand why they are important. Students,like anyone, value their
time and should always understand how each and every assignment will shape their learning
and how the skills they are practicing have significance in their lives beyond the classroom— to
their professional, and personal lives. To prepare and strengthen my students while teaching
engaging lessons I use a variety of useful teaching strategies.
To engage my students in
lessons, one technique I find useful is
cooperative learning, which is a great way for children to
work on their social skills while also working on their cooperation. My favorite way to teach
collaboration is through think-pair-share.
However, the impact of group work can vary widely, and to make it most effective, teachers
should focus on well-structured tasks that promote talk and interaction between students.
The concept of “competitive” collaborative learning (where groups of students compete against
one another) has been shown to have some impact, but caution is advised in case students focus
more on the competition rather than the learning.
To engage and strengthen my students I use a variety of teaching strategies. To
engage my students in lessons, one technique I find useful is “Everybody Writes.” In my
classroom, I ask demanding and thought-provoking questions, but these often require
time and real reflection on the question to generate the kind of responses I want.
Use specific
examples of what
you do in the
classroom.
Establish a central
point for each
paragraph in the first
sentence of the
paragraph. Here, the
student has made it
clear that the focus of
this paragraph is
teaching strategies.
In your
introduction, state
what you feel is
the purpose of
education.
Use the first person
(“I,” “me,” and
“my” statements)
and present
verbs.
Within each paragraph,
there is a refocus on the
teacher’s purpose of
education. Your idea
about the purpose of
education should be a
theme that runs
through your teaching
philosophy statement.

Therefore, I ask the question, butI have everyone write down their thoughts on it.
Educational theory teaches us that through writing, thinking about one’s own thoughts
takes place. This technique of everybody writes allows the students to reflect on their
ideas and internal questions and gives them time to explore the question before answering
with their first thought. Another technique that I use to build character and trust in my
students is “Normalizing Error.” I want my students to know that the classroom is a safe
place for exploration of thought. Therefore, I treat wrong answers in the same way I do
right answers. Wrong answers are an opportunity for revision rather than a moment to be
ashamed or chastised. This allows students to try out answers and engage in learning, not
simply knowing. I treat right answers with praise for engaging and understanding the
material, but not with flattery. Both right and wrong answers are a part of learning and
engaging with those around us. Being right is not as important as engaging in the learning
process and engaging with the ideas of others.
In my classroom, I see my students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
I see them engage with me and their fellow classmates to build a space where all ideas
are valid and where we can explore ideas and knowledge both privately and as a group.
My hope is that my students take what they see, hear, and share in my classroom into
their communities. This is what drives my teaching style and my passion for teaching.
