My Personal Philosophy
I believe that all students are capable of learning. There are students that learn faster or slower than others. My goal as a teacher is to find out how can I teach a lesson in a way all students can understand regardless of their unique learning styles.
There are no excuses as to why a student cannot learn or pass a test. Everyone is capable of succeeding in his or her learning experience. A teacher’s job is to expand the horizons and teach students using more than one approach or strategy. I was taught to never assume a child needs special education if they are disabled or have a handicap. They can learn the same material as everyone else in their class, but they may require the material in a certain form or taught in a different way to accommodate their needs.
Students are also able to learn and grasp the information with drills and practice. According to Knowles, Holten, and Swanson (1998), the most effective learning occurs when the learner takes responsibility for his or her own learning, learners are cooperative, collaborative, and supportive, learners are accountable for the learning, and classes are student centered. When learners are active in the learning process, they develop critical thinking skills, develop a social support system for learning, are able to tap into their most effective learning styles, and develop life-long learning skills.
