Teaching Philosophy Statement
I established my teaching philosophy through my experiences
MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Learning is a goal that can happen anytime and anyplace. Helping students to achieve this goal is the greatest feeling any teacher could have. Every day is a new opportunity to inspire, create, and make a positive difference in student's lives. Young people have such an inspiration and drive to learn, it is up to teachers to reach out and take hold of that drive, to guide it to discovery. There is no better feeling on the planet than when a student is engaged, comprehends and is one step closer to grasping concepts that are put in front of them. I am a teacher because I want to witness the next generation thrive and learn everything they desire.
I create my classroom environment to be a welcoming, supportive and respectful setting. My goal is for my students to feel comfortable, safe and valued. I encourage positive learning experiences through supporting all questions, efforts and boosting the student’s self-esteem.
I am passionate about science and the overall scientific approach. I want to teach students how to think like a scientist. I teach students how to question, be intrigued, and discover the answers through labs, research and analysis. I teach students to look at the world around them, and question what is going on. I teach my students the background knowledge they need to be able to take apart their question, to go through the scientific process, to experiment, and to discover solutions on their own.
I believe the most beneficial way of teaching is allowing students to discover answers on their own. I encourage them to be in charge of their own education. I believe that students are naturally inquisitive and have countless questions and through my teaching, I inspire the students to question, to hypothesize, experiment, and come to a conclusion. Through student centered activities, hands on labs, and classroom discussions, I will have my students meeting state standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. I teach students how to share their answers with the rest of the class, as well as with the outside community. I teach my students how to think like a scientist, and with practice and modelling as an example, I encourage all of my students to aspire and strive to be lifelong learners.
