My Philosophy

My goals and educational philosophy as a future educator
A few of my goals as a future educator are simply; first and foremost I would like my students to enjoying learning as much as I enjoy teaching. Learning is easier when students are having fun doing it.
I want my students to not only learn from me but to help teach as well. The youth today has a vast knowledge of subjects such as technology that some teachers may not have and if you can learn from your students and also have students learn from each other they will get more out of the classroom.
I want my students to feel comfortable around me, meaning I want them to be able to come to me with any problems that they might have school related or not. This can be done by building trust in your students.
My main goal and it is my philosophy by which I will teach is what I like to call “life lessons”. As future educators we will be required to teach students certain subject matters that they must understand well enough to “test” on. I will not discredit this as being important, but this shows me that the student understood the subject just long enough to test on it, but down the road can they recall it. Life lessons are usually learned later in your life when thru trail and error you figure things out. Students need to learn from in my opinion middle school age on up that life isn’t always fair. All too often kids have a miss understanding of how the really world operates. Students need to know that once they are on their own the world is a cut throat operation. Students need to learn that not everyone gets a chance to play on the team that in corporate America has soon as they can find someone to do your job nearly as well and for less money you’re gone.
Life is not fair, as adults we learn that, but kids we are sometimes taught differently. It is not fair that some people don’t have home to go to each night, it is not fair that movie stars make millions and teachers make very little, it is not fair that someone’s son or daughter as to go a die for our country but that is life and students must learn about life.
