My Philosophy Of My Teaching Experience

I see students as the next generations’ heroes in so many fields. In my vision, I have to inspire students and prepare them with confidence, knowledge, experience and skills. Which means I encourage, communicate, guide, teach, and assess students in order to enrich their infrastructures.

2) I believe sharing support of ELLs and ensuring an inclusive approach relies greatly on the teachers themselves, specifically the classroom and ELL teacher. Fairbaim & Jones-Vo mention two things that I believe would work these are collaboratively planning lessons and co-teaching. By planning lessons together, both teachers are on the same page, They each understand the respected needs of their students and able to work together to create ways in which lessons are excited to optimize student success. I also think having another person perceptive is beneficial as their teaching experiences may offer you some guidance. In terms of co-teaching, I think this directly benefits the students. We all have different ways of teaching and I think students

Through my experiences working in the education field and the classes I have taken at Cal State LA, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented in my future classrooms. My experiences working with middle school and high schools students have led me to pursue a career in teaching. For three years, I worked as an Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) tutor at my former high school helping students with their homework and problems they face. AVID is a college preparation program designed to help high school students become motivated and prepared to enter a four-year university of their choice. I also was fortunate to work at the CSULA Reading and Writing clinic as a teaching facilitator during their Summer

I believe that teaching is one of the most important professions in the world today. From the very beginning, until present time, teaching has been around. The book of Genesis speaks of God walking and talking with Adam in The Garden of Eden, God was teaching Adam. I will be proud to, one day, be a part of this great calling.

My personal teaching philosophy is to empower students with knowledge and skills through democratic teaching methods. The “man-making” aspect of education is pivotal to me. Teaching for me is a two-way process of learning. A few things that I would strive to achieve as a teacher are a positive approach, fair play, care and concern for students and respect for individuals. I am a full time teacher at MiddletonMurray, a training provider, which delivers training and employment services.

My road to teaching has not been a direct path. With that being said, my journey has continuously taken me back to teaching. I began a career straight out of high school in the corporate world. I worked my way up to be an Executive Administrative Assistant for a CEO of a large Corporation. After ten years of being out of high school I decided to go to college. I earned a Bachelor’s in Business Administration at Texas Woman's University. At one point during my college enrollment, I took a few classes in the Education Program. I was not 100 percent confident in myself to continue with the plan. I ended up changing my major and received a degree in Business Administration. I was very familiar with many concepts and had learned so much working

Second, I ask students to experience “moments” with me and with each other. I model and clearly lay out

The the purpose of this paper is to identify/describe and discuss my personal philosophy teaching. As I describe my theory of learning I will talk about experiences that have affected me. As well as identify areas of pedagogy that have influenced my personal philosophy. I will then describe how my philosophy teaching guide my teaching style.

My philosophy of teaching is deeply rooted in nurturing the potential each and every student in my classes. Providing a creative environment that allows self assessment, growth, group interaction and mentorship are at its very core. Having taught in Higher Education for many years, and as an instructor of Media Arts and Animation, and Game Design, I have had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the brightest and creative young professionals. Teaching has not only broadened my love of art and exploration, but my determination to help students that do not have the confidence to persevere through their education, yet have the passion to follow their dreams.

Education, the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, is something widely treasured around the world. Everyday a student learns something new. To be a teacher to me means to be the best educator, you can be, to help, to learn, and to change. With being a teacher comes great responsibility. You are the person the students look up to, the person they turn to when they aren’t sure what else to do. I want nothing more than to teach a class and have my students walk out with knowledge because I believe that’s the best thing a teacher can give. “teaching is the greatest act of optimism” (Colleen Wilcox, 1997) This quote means so much to the teaching community and truly captures my views on teaching. In teaching you must be willing to take whatever comes your way, and with open arms accept any obstacles thrown at you for the betterment of the students.

Dictionary defines ‘Philosophy’ as ‘love of wisdom’. It is made up of two Greek words, philo, meaning love, and sophos meaning wisdom.

Our Final project for EDU 581- Clinical Teaching in Health professions was to build on our Educational experience in EDU 497- Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and Health professions in planning and implementing a lesson related to Health Professions Education. This lesson design and implementation was so important for me, because it was my first official lesson to teach. So, the guidelines given by the course instructors in the course modules helped me to design my comprehensive lesson plan beyond a novice expertise. I chose to deliver my lesson in our face-to-face meeting in May 2014. I decided to choose a topic of a common interest amongst different healthcare providers “International Patient Safety Goals”. The plan to my project included: knowing Audience, Learning goals/objectives, Needs assessment, and timed implementation scheme.

Growing up in a small town, and going to a small school, I got know most of my teachers on a personal level. I looked up to some of my teachers in school and was always amazed how they can change someone's life. I grew close to two specific teachers in my High School. One being my science teacher, who I keep in contact with today. He pushed me to do and be the best I could, and to live with the results. He also pushed me towards going to be a Physical Education teacher because he could see my passion for sports and could see the drive I had to help others when needed. The other teacher I grew to become close with was my PE teacher. First he was known as Mr. Bish, but second he was Coach Bish and that is how we became so close. My junior

My teaching philosophy is to create an environment that stimulates learning so that students gain the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to become proficient professionals. While teaching foundational knowledge is important, there are other essential skills and abilities that students must acquire in order to successfully transition from being a student to becoming a physical therapy professional. These skills and abilities include thinking critically as well as interacting and communicating effectively with patients and other health care practitioners. I emphasize to students that it is imperative to realize the impact of developing a therapeutic rapport with patients while providing quality, patient-centered care to optimize the healing process. Therefore, when deciding what to teach, I not only consider the content presented, but also how I can foster discussions with students so that they can apply information based on varying contextual factors. I also attempt to provide students a framework for how to achieve professional excellence, which I aim to model as I fulfill my roles and responsibilities as a teacher and provider of clinical instruction. This framework is rooted in five central tenets:

I have received help from many people in my past twenty-four years of life. My parents raised me, my teachers guided me, and my friends encouraged me. Not to even mention the kindness I received from random strangers on the streets. I am grateful that the world showed me her bright side, and it would mean more than anything for me to be able to pass on the kindness as much as I can. I want to repay society with my own kindness, and influence people with my genuineness. Moreover, I consistently endeavour to do things I am interested in and I hope to contribute to society within the best of my ability. This is how I visualize my life as meaningful and fulfilled.
