Philosophy Statement

I believe that education is brought together not just by the teacher and the school system but by everyone involved. The students, the teachers, the parents everyone. In order to have a good education everyone has to be in coordination and work together, we all have to be on the same page. Once we are all on the same page then the focus on education and the students can begin.

            In my classroom, I want my students to reach their full potential. I believe that student’s role in education is to learn. My role in education is to help students reach their full potential and also incorporate amusing ways of learning. My belief is that students learn best through real life experiences and active play. Most students have a hard time learning if it is straight from a textbook. It is easier if it is something entertaining, like a project that students can work on together in groups.

            One other goal of mine is to encourage positive behavior. I believe that students will respond positively to positive reinforcement. And just as likely they will respond negatively to negative reinforcement. In my classroom I will try my best to give students positive feedback when they deserve it. For example, when they answer a question correct or if they did all their homework, I will give positive words of encouragement. Of course I will give negative feedback when necessary however whenever possible I will be positive. I believe that when you as a teacher are positive then your classroom environment will be positive too.

            I know that cooperation in education is important in the school system. I will do what I can to talk to all my student’s parents and make sure that they are involved in their student’s education. Parents have a big influence on a student’s education. In my classroom I expect that students will also be working hard to reach their full potential. I hope by the end of the year they will have the skills they need to be a success and be a great asset to society. Also in my classroom students will experience many forms of positive behavior and positive reinforcement. I hope to have a optimistic attitude and a positive classroom.
