My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is that every child is
talented in one area or another and it is the teacher's responsibility
to bring out that talent in each individual. For example, say a
student has an
amazing skill in being able to pronounce letters. The teacher
should
then jump on the opportunity to help that child strengthen there
pronunciation
skills and show them that they have a talent in that area of academics.
This in turn boosts the confidence of the child and then they go
on
to help other students in the classroom by using their talent. If
the teacher is able to help each student find their special talent,
then
the students can in return use their skills to help others in the class
along
with building a strong foundation of confidence.
Another teaching philosophy of mine is that learning
should be fun, no matter what the subject being taught it. If
students enjoy school and the things that they are learning, then they
want to learn more and teach others outside of their classroom.
Little children love
to share what they learn and if they love what they are learning, then
they
are helping others to love school and teaches others at the same time.
All in all, I believe that each student teaches each
other student by sharing things that they have learned or by helping
others to learn things that they don't understand. Sometimes
having a fellow student explain something doesn't put as much pressure
on the individual
and they don't feel bad about themselves and it keeps their confidence
up.
Building a student's confidence at such a young age is the most
important
skill in beginning a strong educational foundation for the
challenging years to come.
