Recommended: Eassy about different learning styles

As an educator, I believe that all learning must start with each individual person and what they bring with them to the learning environment. I value life-long learning and believe that each of us holds valuable information and will make contributions that will benefit all learners and our classrooms. I believe that all students must have instilled in them a sense of competence as it is related to their experiences and without feeling competence in their own experience, they have nothing to build on or to grow from. I hold the foundational belief, that as an educator, it is my role to work to promote a positive learning environment where diverse sets of learners can thrive. I feel that I need to work to help learners feel excitement and enthusiasm about the learning that is taking place as well as to provide a strong foundation for life-long learning which includes continued growth and sharing with others. I believe that both students and teachers must be open to new learning experiences and able to reflect on those experiences to acknowledge what is …show more content…

It is important that we work to provide a variety of learning experiences so all benefit from instruction and ultimately, we all grow and learn together. I further believe that it is important that students are assessed utilizing a variety of means so all learner types have an opportunity to showcase their true strengths and overall learning and that true learning will take place both inside and outside of the classroom and that by listening to our student voices, we may be able to learn about related ideas that we can help our students to link to the instruction taking place in the

    My most basic, fundamental belief in education has always been that every student is capable of learning. The learning may not take place on my desired timeline, but each child has the capacity to learn. I have always considered myself to be child-centered, rather that teacher-centered, in the classroom. I hold that most learning is accomplished when new information can be integrated into previous knowledge, and I also find that a balanced approach to any learning includes the repetition of information and a varied approach in delivery.

  • Importance Of Adopting Lifelong Learning

    1342 Words  | 3 Pages

    This assessment was extremely eye opening and reflective. I had scores high and low in places where they were either expected or unpredictable. First off, I am going to talk about my highest scores that I acquired. Adopting Lifelong Learning was a 67 and Discovering Self-Motivation was a 78. I was not surprised about Adopting Lifelong Learning at all. I grew up quite quickly while jumping from home to home. I had to teach myself a substantial amount of information on my own while I grew up and this knowledge has stuck with me. I think one way to improve this topic would to be to try to learn among with other than trying to do it by myself. I feel like I learn better on my own, but I could benefit from learning more from other people or things,

  • Learning In The Lifespan Essay

    1804 Words  | 4 Pages

    Scientists agree on the idea that the brain grows in spouts instead of in one line across time. During specific time periods such as three months to ten months, then again from two years old to four years old, then again from six years old to eight years old, then ten years old to twelve up until the child becomes a teenager at thirteen, then again from fourteen years old to seventeen years old. The brain continues to grow throughout a person’s lifetime, but these particular spurts of growth are particularly vital because the brain is more receptive to learning. Only a few of these particular spurts of growth occur when a child is in school, therefore, guardians encouraging the concept of being a lifetime learner is important. The idea that a person should be continuously learning throughout their life

It is my desire as an educator to provide my students with the learning environment necessary to motivate and inspire each and every one of them to become to their fullest potential. For myself, teaching is about giving; giving the students support and security, giving them respect and dignity, giving them opportunities to succeed and a quality education, and not only giving them my time and effort but also giving myself. Our society requires its children to not only receive a solid education, but that they are taught by a highly qualified educator who is sensitive to their individual needs and deeply committed to their success. I am such a person and will always strive to do the very best by my students.

  • The Highlights of My Teaching Pedagogy

    1902 Words  | 4 Pages

    As a teacher, I have numerous personal goals. Mainly, my goal is to provide students with the opportunity and encouragement to succeed in life and to develop as free-thinking individuals in society. I consider myself a progressive and an essentialist, according to theory. I feel that students need to be given multiple opportunities to explore many different life skills that sometimes are overlooked in the education system. Testing, rote memorization, and lecture, in my opinion, do not promote students' own inquiry and does not give students opportunities to tap into their own source of knowledge that they each bring with them to the classroom. As a teacher, I hope to leave my students able to set and accomplish goals through the use of these life skills. Some teachers I have had while in hi...

  • Teaching: A Commitment to Lifelong Learning

    548 Words  | 2 Pages

    Education is an ever-changing part of society. A classroom teacher is faced with new challenges and obstacles that have never been dealt with before. Students come to the classroom with different life stories. Every student has strengths and weaknesses that surface in the classroom environment. Teachers must understand and focus on utilizing each student's strengths and work to improve weaknesses. Students learn in a variety of ways. The classroom must be a safe zone that appreciates student's viewpoints and allows room for mistakes. When topics in the classroom are related to "real-life" experiences, the information is more likely to be retained. Students learn from one another. The ideas and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom can bring insight into what is being learned. Students have to be allowed to explore new ideas, try them to see if they work, and sometimes fail. When students are encouraged to explore, they begin the process of becoming lifelong learners.

  • My Philosophy of Education

    443 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe that education should be looked as as a desire to acquire all possible knowledge, not as a requirement or something that can be formally examined by standardized tests. There are numerous ways that children learn and I want to be able to encourage as much learning as possible for each child. I believe that using many methods of instruction is the most effective way of teaching to these various ways of learning. These methods include group work, hands-on activities, buddy work, etc. Assessment of children should follow the same idea. When children get the chance to perform on different assessments, they can adequately show their strengths and weaknesses. I do not wish to rely on tests only to assess the students in my class. Some types of assessment that I think should be inlcuded in a classroom are journals, presentations, projects and interviews. I also think that the classroom should be run with the help of the children. By distributing jobs among the children and everyone participating in the classroom, the students will form a sense of togetherness. This will eventually create a community within the classroom. I feel that this community of learners is essential for the students to perform effectively and efficiently. They will feel comfortable in the environment and will not be afraid to take risks or ask questions. The teacher will also be a member of this community and will not be seen as unapproachable or as the only leader.

  • Education is Life

    640 Words  | 2 Pages

    Learning initially begins with one's attitude toward themselves, others, and the world we live in. It is our attitudes that play a major role in shaping our experiences, which in turn affects the way in which we learn. We must first be able to interpret the world using information we already know, in order to understand something entirely new. As a teacher, I could only hope that I can provide children with a positive educational experience, one that will broaden the scope in which they view themselves, others, and the world on a larger scale. Children already acquire a desire to learn, however, it is up to us to sti...
