My teaching Philosophy (Teaching creates all other professions)

Teaching is a significant and worthy profession that requires a lot of work and true commitment. As a teacher you learn every day and you always experience laughter, love, healing and sharing every time.  I believe that in a teaching profession you are not only a teacher, there are times where you will be a counselor, a parent, a manager and a role model all at the same time.

My aim as a teacher in the making is to create an atmosphere that emboldens curiosity, determination and make sure that I become the best teacher in the world. Our classroom is a place where learners should feel important, respected, cared for and believed in.  I want to be that teacher who makes it possible for her learners to reach their full potential, ask questions, learn from their mistakes, give and receive feedback, create and try their best.

The good teacher must know her subjects and how to help learners learn those subjects. I know the good teacher must have a deep appreciation of how knowledge is created in the discipline, how it is organized and how it is linked to other disciplines. I will use my knowledge of the discipline to expose my learners to modes of critical thinking, encouraging them to analyse, apply, synthesize, and evaluate all they read and hear.

A good teacher cannot begin or continue to inspire learning without being a learner. The good teacher must constantly learn what is new in the discipline. In fact, the good teacher often helps to create new knowledge. To live this belief, I must continuously examine my teaching methods and find new ones. To remain connected to my learners, their lives and the schools in which they will practice their professions, I must be a student of society and the constantly changing worlds in which students live.
