My Philosophy Of Becoming A Teacher

Superior Essays
Title
“Don 't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.” ~Marva Collins There will always be a student that will be struggling and as a teacher you should never give up on the student and help them succeed. In becoming a teacher, I will need a certain amount of education, understand what my responsibilities and requirements will be ,and make sure the job fits in with my future lifestyle.
When going into any career, it would be helpful to know the requirements needed for the career. Career planning is an important thing when going to college and it will help you out a ton so you don’t have to try to figure

I am very impatient but I have to adapt because I know that it will be hard for some kids. I enjoy talking a lot which is also very important when becoming a teacher because if you never communicate with the students they will never really get anything out of your class. One last skill that I also thought was important is that the students are constantly learning because later in life those things you taught the students could benefit them in college or even help them start their career. If you slack on teaching it could really fail a student or multiple and they won’t be successful in life because of a little mistake ("9 Useful Skills for Teachers"). Student teaching will really help when getting a teaching career because it will show how it’s going to be and what some requirements other than the ones you already know are. I would say this job best fit me because it’s a social career and if you ask anyone they would say I’m really social because I like to talk to everyone and talking in general. I also enjoy helping people who are struggling in something especially Math since that is my favorite subject. If I ever see someone struggling I try to help them as much as I can although I might not know what to do

    PART A: I agree with Carol Tomlinson’s statement about curriculum being the ultimate identifier of potential. Potential is having or showing capacity to become or develop into something in the future. School curriculum is defined as the course of study observed by the school. I do believe that the curriculum has to reflect the student’s needs to be the ultimate identifier of potential. We know that all students learn differently.…

    I always have followed the saying “if you work hard in life now you will not have to work as hard later.” This saying applies not only to how I work during school now, but how I participate in activities outside of school. To excel in what you want to achieve in life, I believe you need to put in the best effort and try your best in whatever you do. Living by this idea has helped me become a leader in the things I do. It has helped me put others at the same standard as myself and it helps me show my character.…

    Out of the other chapters in Bell Hooks’ book, I felt this chapter was the most relevant to me. Hooks talked about the need for educators to engage in their teaching. Some professors and teachers do not engage and show much interest in what they are teaching. Hooks was able to describe the lack of engagement that teachers show without many examples or controversial subject material. I felt the chapter was able to relate to everyone rather than make a politically charged statement and expect people to reform to her ideals.…

    When we think of student success or student failure we automatically jump to conclusions about the type of education the student received. We are quick to connect student success to “great teachers” and student failure to “bad teachers.” Teaching is among the highest demanding careers and has a great job outlook, yet it is one of lowest paid professions. Many leave the seemingly tough position within the first five years. So what does it take to become a suitable teacher?…

    Journalist, satirist and cultural critic H.L. Mencken once said, "The aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner". However, in retrospect, my time within the Australian public education system has shown me that in Australia, this is not the case. Being a part of this system for the past thirteen years of my life, I have come to realise that our education system, powered by teachers who have the potential to inspire and innovate, have caged their students in cells haunted by repetition. We memorise facts to pass a test and forget about them later. We are trained to conform to the…

Students express their ideas and thoughts on how the classroom should be ran and what is expected from them and me as a teacher.…

    As we’ve studied the different types of educational philosophies in class, I’ve been able to see which category my beliefs fall into and where that puts me in the teaching world. Throughout my educational career, my family and teachers have shaped my philosophy into a combination of both romanticism and progressivism. As a teacher I want to be able to help a student strive for self-fulfillment while focusing on individual student’s learning processes. Based on my ideals, I want for my classroom to be a place where my students can go to learn in a way that suits their personality, and in a non-pressured environment. I want to be able to engage my students and challenge them to learn based on their interests.…
