Teaching Philosophy Statement Essay -- Teaching Careers Education Teac

Teaching Philosophy Statement Knowing that you have had an impact on someone and ending the day feeling like you changed just one life could be the best job in the world. To me those feelings and thoughts can only come from one profession-teaching. I have a family full of teachers and it is exciting to see them come home and have that satisfaction of influencing someone’s life. I want to be apart of that feeling and emotion. I have chosen the route to be a Special Education teacher; I feel that this is going to be the best way to have that feeling and emotion of inspiring someone else’s life each and everyday. I want to work with children with Learning Disabilities (LD), Behavior Disorders (BD), and my favorite Autism (AU). My goal is to have each child go home everyday and for the parents to know and to see what they have accomplished each day while they are at school, and to know they have mastered that skill and are ready to move on each day. That is my goal in wanting to become a teacher. Now that I have made my decision to become a teacher there are a few things that I need to be aware of for my teaching methods in my classroom. There are a couple of ways I am going to base my classroom teaching upon. These include mastery learning, direct teaching and cooperative learning. I strongly agree with all three of those. Mastery Learning deals with an individual who has to master one task before moving on to the next. I want each and every student to understand what is going on, even if they have to ask as many questions that their minds think of, I want them to all be fully informed on what it is I am trying to get them to understand. Next is the most important to me,... ...ur classroom. Along with this method you need to also use social reinforcements, with a nod, or a smile it gives the same result in saying rewards and compliments out loud. By these two philosophies I strongly agree with them both, and I will use them in my classroom to see especially my student’s personalities. I feel that they are the ones that are most successful and I will base my day around them in the classroom. By researching all these methods, with my personality and my ways of wanting to become a teacher these methods match me to my highest standards. I want to be a teacher and a friend for my student’s who they look up to and for them to go home and to feel good about themselves and can show off what they have learned. My goal is that indeed and to me that is the best way to have an impact on someone’s life, especially your student’s.
