Teaching Philosophy Essay

Teaching Philosophy As children we were always told by our parents to go to school. We were told to go to school and stay in school as long as we possibly can because without an education we have nothing. However with an education or any kind of degree, whether it be in political sciences or in education itself, you can manage to one day, rule the world. And I strongly believe in that. This is the reason I intend to become an educator, so that I can pass on my knowledge and understanding of the…

Philosophy of Education Defining a teaching philosophy six weeks into my formal teacher training is a tricky thing. I feel as if every time I turn around, I see something new and shiny to play with and explore. I am sure, ten years from now, I will look back on this and laugh lovingly at my naïve views and ten years after that, laugh again, maybe for different reasons. Hopefully, in the following decade, I’ll retire. However, in order to start, I need to know where I am going in the first…

Philosophy of Education To me, teaching is love in action. Saint Therese of Lisieux wrote: “Kindness is my only guiding star. In its light I sail a straight route.

As a future…

My Equity Teaching Philosophy (ETP) As a teacher, it is important to take equity and social justice into practice. For example, teachers should learn about students’ backgrounds and be open-minded about it. According to Equity pedagogy: An Essential Component of Multicultural Education, Banks C and Banks J (1995). said “Teachers who are skilled in equity pedagogy are able to use diversity to enrich instruction instead of fearing or ignoring it” (p. 157). This indicates that a skilled teacher…

have to have proper instructional techniques to utilize. The instructional techniques that I intend on utilizing are lecturing, discussion facilitating, and allowing my students to learn on their own all of which are supported by my educational philosophy. I concluded that these three main techniques would benefit my students through personal experience and advice from current educators. Going through school myself, I always learned best through a lecture based class than I did with a work on…
