What is a teaching
philosophy?
A teaching philosophy is
a statement that you construct to guide you as a teacher. This philosophy does
not always stay the same. It will evolve as you change or gain more insight
into the teaching profession and how you will fulfil your role in it.
My goal as a teacher is
to show passionate on doing my job and I am ready to take whatever it takes to
make sure the school become a better place for learners and have positive
impact to the environment by taking risks and to work hard so that the passing
rate of the school will enhance. In future starting now I am aware that I must
look at things different so that what I will be doing is going to be unique and everyone will have no regret because I
will give the best education they ever seen or heard. My goal is to take care
of learners in my classroom and I want to give back success to community and
encourage my learners and people around them that may contribute on the success
and progress of learners.
As a teacher, I am willing to prevent all barriers
that influence the success of learners, be able to include parent as they are
part of community to give children the care they need. My intention is to make
sure that learner knows how to read, to speak well, to write well and work well
with numbers. I will persevere with difficult students or learners. Be able to
work independently with other and be creative as well as preparing my lecture
before lecturing learners “specialist in a phase”, be an assessor, teaching
mediator, life-long learner and be a leader or a role model.
The different
between learning and teaching.
Learning is a
process of learning something. Teaching is a lesson giver to student in a
school, college and university.
The teaching
and learning process require a student to be better suited to learning in a
particular way, using unique modes for thinking, relating and creating. The views
of students have particular learning styles that have implication for teaching
strategy. As the learners will be given information by teachers this will
enhance their skills and knowledge, at the end they will become effective
decision maker. The school must be a supportive and non-threatening one in
which both learners and teachers will be comfortable. Teachers need to be
sensitive to value which are promoted by peers, friends and cultural
backgrounds.
As a teacher my
role is to carry positive and negative behavior toward learners. I will love my
career in order for them to pass in higher marks, assist them and provide a
warm environment to the learners as I will be educating South Africa. The main
role is playing a second mother for the learners because learners spend a lot
of time with teachers. The real teacher becomes through many years training and
experiencing in the field, like us as we are training to be better teacher. My
role as a teacher is to be with the child in the classroom.
My role as a
teacher is to set rules for the learners and must stick to them because I have
been trained to be a better teacher, to make sure that no learner intimidate
others as I will be showing love and support in educating them and be involved
during activities or participation and encourage them as all learners will be
depending on me, everything I would say will have impact on them.
Kids learn fast
when they feel attracted to an exciting lesson, so my duty is to make them feel
welcome and also had enough fun. I will show respect and avoid humiliation
among them because that will enhance their confidence. As always they feel
secure that might create ambitions in their minds for future academic success.
I will pay attention to any suspicious signs that could bother the learners as
their behavior demonstrates something that is not right. I will be an open book
to all learners so that I will be told problems rather than talking to their
friends because learners would not find solution because they are immature. I
will create a perfect relationship between them, my last not least role is to
love, care, instruct and guide all learners to become successful people in
future.
The role of the
learner is to listen what he or she is told and do work and behave in a well
manner as well as following school policies and class rules. A learner must
arrive on class before a teacher arrives. A learner must submit work on time.
Respect one another and share resources, a learner must have self-esteem and
sense of humor.
An optimal learning can take place on a developed
environment so that learners will the suspense of learning and the curiosity; a
classroom must be filled with colourful pictures, painting and drawings. The
classroom must show success and progress. A teacher must make all learner
participate, ask questions and give them work to do. The place where the class
will be situated must be out of distraction and construction because the noisy
sound will have influence on the child mind.
My personal value is to
exhibit a professional behaviour and exhibiting loyalty, I am honest to my
surrounding such as peers and colleague, showing fairness, treat everyone
equally and I like taking care of people and helping them if are in needs as
well as respecting them. I am a self motivator and I am punctual.
