Educational Philosophy

My Philosophy of Teaching Statement is progressivism. My philosophy is based on three points: embrace the kids to be unique, motivate them academically, and guide them. I want the best for children. I want them to succeed in life. 

First of all, we should motivate our students to develop their talents and to understand that everybody is unique and special in their own way. In order to make them discover who they are, they will need to let their creativity flow. Everybody has a different perspective of the world.

Additionally, we should embrace their talents and to help them to develop talents. They would never know what their abilities are if they don’t try to do new things. Some kids are so talented but they just need a little push to discover what they are capable of.

Moreover, we should motivate them to do better in school; however, I think that the motivation should come from home too. Parents have an important role in children’s education. If we are going to educate them, we have to be supported by the parents. We have to complement each other in order to make kids progress. I have seen children struggling in math and thinking they are not smart enough so they would give up and accept getting Cs or Ds. We have to tell them that they can do it. We have to help them to understand the lessons by using different methods and they will progress little by little. Everybody has different learning styles.

If we love children, we should guide them to a good future. We have to make them better students and better citizens. We have to teach them to respect each other. Regardless of their ethnicity, sexual orientation, sex, and religion are, everybody deserves to be respected. Something I want to make sure is that kids feel engaged with the lessons by using different methods because everybody has different learning styles. I would ask for quality, not quantity. It doesn’t matter how many lessons you have gone over if the kids haven’t understood it well.

These three points are important in my Philosophy of Teaching Statement.
