My Teaching Philosophy

“Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or in every way,” George Evans. My philosophy on teaching is, I believe that education is one of the most important things that you need in life. No matter how old you are it is never too late to challenge your brain. As a future educator I will never stop trying to learn new materials, simply because I want to be able to share my knowledge to others. In order for my students to succeed I must give them my all and be the best that I can be. When becoming a teacher you must get to know your students and learn what kind of learner they are. People learn at different paces and I will have to adjust to that as a professional. There are multiple methods of teaching and I will project them in my classroom, this is a way of becoming diverse. Diversity is an essential part of a classroom setting, if you are not diverse in this generation it will be hard for you to reach all of the students in your classroom. 

Here is a website with many different teaching quotes. If you have a quote of your own this would be a helpful resource to get an idea to come up with one. When using a quote you can portray them in your work environment each day when teaching.

Google

Before entering the course Engl3043 I did not know that Google had so many resources. I was actually amazed when I finally got a chance to try them. There is no need to purchase Microsoft when you are using Google, which is a major plus. In college there are times when you can’t afford much due to different situations. I must say that I love the fact that my teacher has taken this into consideration and has given us other options to do the work that needs to be done. Not only did I learn something new, but I have also shown others around me. Showing my peers this has made their day. The saying “you learn something new every day” is very much true. I would encourage anyone to become familiar with this site and put it to use when it’s needed. In this course I have learned so much and I will continue to use this when becoming an educator.

Pinterest

Pinterest has become one of my favorite websites. I have noticed when using this website it has given me many great ideas. It has given me many ideas in how to become a better teacher, ideas of great lesson plans, great fashion ideas, and even more! I have become very fascinated and I catch myself on here at least one time a day. When scrolling up and down different boards I often get very excited. When I first heard of is website I did not think that I would ever use it. Coming into the education field have changed that tremendously. There are many projects and experiments on here that I can’t wait to put in use inside of my class. Not only is it giving me ideas as a future educator, but also now when we have different projects to present. My favorite thing to look at on here besides projects is fashion and how to decorate a home. In my spare time those are two things I like to do besides shopping. It gives me ideas on how I want to decorate my future home.

Time Management

Time management is something everyone should have. We must know how to manage our time with everything that we do. It could be something so simple like taking the time out to read something new. I have learned with the older I get to manage my time more wisely, and this has lifted a bourdon off of my shoulders. Being a college student has taught me a lot about time management. I have learned how to balance out school, work, and fun; even though there are multiple of occasions where I do not feel like doing any work I have no choice. With time management it also teaches you how to prioritize and sacrifice. Many days I wish I could lie in the bed all day but as a young adult trying to get a degree it is much harder than that. I must say in high-school I did not know much about time management but with growth and past experiences I have learned.

Stress, Stress, Stress, and more Stress

 For the past couple of months I have been finding myself lacking. I have not been doing this purposely but because everything has been hitting me at once.  I am under a lot of pressure when it comes down to my classes and also my grades.  Now that I have found the confidence to get myself together I have been doing much better. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I am now doing what I am now doing what I have suppose to been doing. I have started on my application to get into the education program. This is a major blessing to me. Not only have it been a blessing but it has also motivated me. I am ready to take on my responsibilities and ready to do whatever it is I need to do to graduate. I am one step closer and I feel over joyed. I am not all the way there but I am closer.
