My Educational Philosophy
1. Lines of communication: I believe as an educator you must know how to communicate
with your students given there levels of understanding and knowledge.
2. Understanding the instructor’s limitations:
It is my philosophy to try to teach everyone the same, but we all know that is not going to happen. It is my duty to know
when I am going too far for a minority of students at the expense of the majority. I am speaking in terms of teaching and
re-teaching in order of obtaining results of the class.
3. Knowing your audience: A strong point of my teaching has always
been my ability to adapt to the student’s needs. I believe it is important to reach the student in your way that is
understood.
4. Striking from different medians: No one wants just a lecture all the time or even group work or individual
work. In order to establish a flourishing classroom, you should hit the students with information from many different point
of views.
5. Laying down the Rule: You must have control of your classroom at all times. With the way the school system
is now you have less and less control over what you can do. But how your class is run should never be an issue, you must have
that in control at all times.
