Philosophy of Education :: Philosophy of Teaching Statement

Philosophy of Education I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a teacher. As a child, my friends and cousins always played school and of course I always had to be the teacher We had a cinderblock building that we c eithered the playhouse and this is where my article of belief career began. We would play for hours doing reading, spelling and writing. I always loved to grade the papers. And most of all I had strict behavior rules. Throughout life, even though my teaching career has been on hold, I have nameed in various atmospheres with children from babysitting to different types of attractorship roles. Mostly being a youth leader in our church has had a lot of various types of teaching skills. Keeping childrens motivation level and interest is a difficult task. I have worked with all different ages from preschool through the sixth grade. I truly believe that sometimes a teacher is the most important role a child comes across. The impaction that a teacher makes will last a life time. My elementary experiences were wonderful years that I feel have make me into the person I am today, especially my second grade teacher, Ms. Fezer. She was the greatest teacher of all times. She not only had love for her students but compassion to want them to learn and make sure they that they understood the material. She made learning fun and always had a wonderful smile. I hope to run a classroom in the demeanor that she did. Another great teacher that stands out is my dad. He is a retired sixth grade teacher. He was very strict, but all the children loved him. He made sure that they were ready for seventh grade. Along with teaching respect and manners and he never failed to help any child in need. These children, now openhanded up still make a point to speak to him when they see him out. Some even thank him for being so strict and making them work hard that they have told him it sure did pay off later on down the road. As a father, hes the greatest and always willing to help .
