Educational Philosophy

Teachers have the role of shaping students for tomorrow. They help them academically, personally, and socially. I cannot think of any other career that would be as rewarding as teaching. A teacher has the opportunity everyday to change a student’s life. One of the reasons I want to become an educator is because I want to have a positive influence on a student’s life. I think in today’s society it’s crucial for students to feel like they have a positive role model. I have seen what a large impact teachers have made on their student’s lives. That has made me to want to strive and do the same. Another reason for choosing this profession is that I simply love working with children. I do not think that there is any greater moment that when a student catches on to what you are teaching them. This makes the student feel better and it makes you feel like you have succeeded at your job. The final reason I want to become a teacher is that I feel that I have many great ideas, and I would love to communicate these ideas to my students.

My classroom will be a very open and bright environment. I think it is crucial to have light colored walls in the classroom. This way the classroom looks very spacious. I also think it helps when a classroom has windows to allow plenty of sunlight to enter into the room. My walls will be covered with bright posters of inspirational sayings. I will also have bulletin boards to display the students’ work and art projects. I think this will be effective because it shows that the teacher really cares about her students and admires the effort they put into their work. I really want my classroom to be a very comfortable setting, but yet I want it ...

..., and leadership are derived from the many different philosophies.

I see my role as an educator as one of great importance. I think my primary goal is to teach the students and help them learn. I also think it is my responsibility, though, to help the students with their own personal problems in anyway that I can. I want to help students with their self-esteem early in life so they can continue to work on it as they get older. I will also strive to help each student work harder. I want to be able to see continuous improvement in my students over the entire year. I want my students to feel like they can come and talk to me regardless of their problem. I want them to know that I will try my best to help them through anything that I can. I will take pride in my role as an educator and in helping students. After all, these students are our future.

  • Patient-Physician Relationship: The Effects of Autonomy and Paternalism

    1710 Words  | 4 Pages

    Patients’ autonomy is the respect for the decision-making capacity of competent adults. This has now been fully integrated into the practice of medicine. This ‘patient’s right’ to accept or refuse medical care changed the balance of power in the patient-physician relationship and engaged the patient more in ownership of care plans and it is viewed by patient and physician, essential for honoring the individual and his or her dignity.

  • Going against the FLO

    1155 Words  | 3 Pages

    Marquis’s overall argument is abortion is seriously morally wrong because it involves killing. He states this is wrong because it robs a human of a natural property, which is a “future like ours,” or a FLO. It “deprives one of all experiences, activities, projects, and enjoyments that would otherwise have constituted one’s future.” Killing someone is wrong because it inflicts a great loss on the victim. He states describing this as a loss of life can be misleading because a change in a biological state does not make killing wrong, it is the effect of the killing, making one lose all of the experiences which would otherwise have been possible. The activities are valuable and are the means to something else, like a potential life, which would make ...

  • An Analysis Of Judith Thomson's Argument On Abortion

    1829 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this paper I will explain Judith Thomson’s argument that abortions are not morally wrong under the condition that the fetus is considered a person. By setting this condition, Thomson advances the argument on why abortions are morally permissible by getting past the triviality of whether the fetus is a person or not. I will explain three cases she presents in which she argues that an abortion is morally justified: (1) It is not wrong to abort a pregnancy that resulted from rape (2) It is not wrong to perform an abortion in order to save the mother’s life (3) In many cases, it is not wrong to abort if the pregnancy resulted from protected, consensual sex and does not threaten the mother’s life. Finally I will present an objection

    Once a person chooses the pro-life argument that “life is present from the moment of conception” (Marquis, 365), or the pro-choice argument that “fetuses are not persons” (Marquis, 365) and cannot live outside the mother’s body, the next focal point of the argument concerns whether or not the mother has a moral obligation to sustain the life of this child. What criteria dictate...

    Technology is a giant part of life for the new generation. Nowadays, kids can learn how to use an IPad faster than tying their own shoes and it is very uncommon to not own a computer or smartphone. Also, electronics are more common in houses than they were years ago. Technology, while it makes tasks easier for humans, can also be detrimental to society because of how easy it is to misapply.

  • Judith Thomson Abortion Summary

    In Marquis’s words, “…abortion is wrong for the same reason as killing a reader of this essay is wrong.” (p.838). He explains his view of abortion through explaining the wrongness of killing. According to Marquis, the wrongness of killing is defined by what killing imposes on the victim. Killing brings about premature death and death would be considered a misfortune because it causes us loss of the “future goods of consciousness.” These goods are defined as whatever that we value out of life (p.842). Marquis states, “…killing someone is wrong…when it deprives her of a future like ours” (p.843). Marquis refers to this as theory as

  • Evolution Of Technology In Schools Essay

    1999 Words  | 4 Pages

    Before the age of the internet, smart phones, and computers, students relied on their school and local library to gather information for research projects. Prior to 1994, communication by phone was done by voice and dialing digits (Noeth, 2004). The inception of text messaging digitized our way of sending short quick messages to one another without the formality of hello and goodbye. With the advancement of computers and technology overall, the medium in which educators would present learning material has evolved to the point of having any fact or subject within seconds of an internet search. It is well document that the use of technology will increase students’ academic level and engagement to produce better outcomes (Perrotta, 2013). Furthermore, schools have traditionally been slow to adapt to the new technologies being introduced to the corporate world, and is imperative that they keep up with this pace in order to prepare today’s student for tomorrow’s advancement’s.

  • How Technology Changes Education

    1512 Words  | 4 Pages

    Technology in classrooms is affecting our culture in great ways. A lot of people who can not go to college at the sites can do classes online. More than three-quarters of America’s colleges and universities now have online classes available. Approximately one in four college graduates, or 23%, have taken an online course. This helps you get the degrees you need at your own time rate. This is helping people get better careers day by day. Technology is not only great for the purpose of people who are out of high school, it’s great for high school students as well. During class time some students tend to fall behind and end up not understanding the subject matter completely. At this point in time with the use of computers that schools and families have students can use the comp...

  • Philosophy of Education

    1875 Words  | 4 Pages

    My beliefs and values about early childhood education is based upon understanding that all children are unique individuals who need a caring, nurturing, and secure environment in which to grow and develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Children under the age of three are in critical stages of development, it is my belief that a quality child care environment will have a positive impact on a child’s development and make a significant difference in the life of a child and his or her family. My philosophy of early childhood education and the elements I believe are necessary in developing a developmentally appropriate child care environment is rooted in my views and beliefs about experimentalism, progressivism, multiculturalism, and the influence of philosophers such as Dewey, Piaget, Montessori, and Vygotsky. Furthermore, I believe young children will thrive and grow in developmentally appropriate child care programs that possess the following elements: (1) teachers who see themselves as intentional, responsive and respectful facilitators of learning, (2) the ability to build a community of learners, (3) implement an effective curriculum that allow children to explore their natural curiosity about the world.

    ...y that doesn’t replace knowledge, but reinforces it. As a high school teacher I will tell my students to never rely on spell check because it will often steer you wrong. Technology is great, but students still have to have the know-how without it. Oftentimes, spell check becomes a way for a student to avoid learning how language works. When a student is presented with unfamiliar material, they don't know how to parse what they are reading. If they learn how language works, how it is spelled, how it is used, they can extrapolate meaning. I understand that the usual methods don't necessarily work for someone with dyslexia, but for most of the student population, expecting correct spelling by high school is not too high a bar to reach.

  • The Outbreak

    One day I knew scientists would figure out what dumping radioactive waste into the streams of rivers, creeks, and oceans would do. It was the beginning of spring, all was well, and the birds were finally back to chirping. That was when I noticed all the waterways were this faint, but bright yellow. I went down to my favorite spot by the bend. I have this amazing turtle called Snappy. He is one of the biggest turtles I have ever seen! He always goes to the same spot every day. But he wasn’t there though, and I thought what happened? All that I saw sitting there was this weird glowing creature. I thought that’s an odd place for a glowing rock. I thought it was gold, crystal, or a rare diamond but no. I was walking in front of it when a bird flew down by it. It looked so peaceful. But if it wasn’t for that one bird I woulda, coulda, and shoulda been dead. It was so fast. There was a tangle of adrenaline from the gold object except it never died. It just kept going until the poor little bird disappeared from my eyes. Thats when the thing made the gruesome...

  • The Importance Of Technology

    While it is true that technology has made much of everyone's daily life easier, it has also had some very negative impacts on our society. There are many different ways that technology can affect us, but most of them lead to same conclusions. We substitute face-to-face contact with emoticons and become more criminal just by taking the ideas that someone else posted online. Technology causes us to be us less ambitious in our goals and takes away the time we need to live. Technology has created the feeling that if it were to disappear all together, the whole world would go into complete and utter chaos.

  • Making a Difference as a Teacher

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first main reason that I have chosen teaching as a profession is because I believe that it’s continuous rewards will help me to lead a happy and fulfilled life. For example, teaching young children is one of the few jobs in which you can give and receive hugs on a daily basis. Children have an innocence and a passion for knowledge that I find amazing and I do not feel complete unless I am around them. Teaching will help provide this fulfillment for me every day. Also, teaching is a job in which it is ok, and even encouraged, to laugh each and every day. I feel that this is important for a person’s well-being and I think that it helps to keep people young and alive. I feel that in many other professions the day-to-day routine would become monotonous and boring, and I do not think that I would live a truly happy and fulfilled life unless I could be around children. I feel that a classroom provides many unique and dynamic opportunities every single day and I find that very appealing. Also, I am a very relationship-oriented person and I feel that I will enjoy building unique relationships with each child. I plan on knowing every child as thoroughly as possible because I feel that this will help me to be better at my job.
