Philosophy+of+Education

As a teacher, I hope to teach students multiple ways, building from what they already know and adding more. I also hope to provide real life situations. I hope to meet all my students' needs, from extra practice to providing students the opportunity to go above and beyond in subjects that they excel. My goals as a teacher are to give students as many opportunities as I can for them to learn what need to be successful while incorporating their interests. I hope to use memorization only as a last resort tool. I believe it is my responsibility that every student feels safe and able to learn. The school should provide students with the skills to go out and learn on their own, and help students understand why these basic skills are important.

Technology is becoming more common and every one needs to have at least a basic understanding of how to use it properly. Students need to understand how it can help them with their homework and fuel their own interests and self learning. Teachers need to help young students understand the hazards and the vast amount of resources available to students online. These resources can also present lessons in a new way. Some students will learn better when technology aids lessons, and it's also a great way to use time wisely. Classrooms have already come a long way, and I hope to see more technology available to teachers and students. There should also be more classes to help students and teachers who want to learn more about technology and feel a little uneasy about it.
