I completely agree with this because I feel that by using experimentalism in the classroom you are teaching your students that it is okay to need to be a hands on learner. I think using examples, going on trips and even bringing in items to show students will help them learn. This combines the two philosophies of Idealism and Experimentalism. In conclusion, I have high hopes as a future educator. I have come a long was in my schooling and I have had my ups and my downs and I would like to show others that not just one thing defines you. I know sometimes it feels like there’s no one around that cares enough to help, but I will always be there for my students. It is a huge commitment to become a teacher and I cannot wait to take on the commitment to help others. Many people have played a part in my decision to become a teacher and I am so grateful for them. I cannot wait to start my journey to become an educator and to use my Educational Philosophies to be the best teacher that I can

    Do you remember being so young yet so bold that you would tell everyone around you the wonderful things you were going to accomplish once you were an adult? In my case, I would go around revealing that I was going to become the president of the united states or a teacher because my teacher, at the time, didn’t teach accordingly to what I wanted. Currently, as I am nearing the end of my high school career, I flash back to those fearless moments wondering where everyone, including myself, put those boundless goals and dreams. I now know that I need to take down those mental barriers and tell myself that I can not only achieve whatever I put my mind to, but also believe that I will be very passionate about it.…

    Although teaching is a field that is extremely rewarding, it also comes with its share of challenges.

If the teacher is fully committed to their student’s best interests, the classroom will ultimately succeed, even if there are challenges along the way.…
