My Philosophy as an Educator

“Human is condemned, nobody can save him. His inconsistency is rampant and his evil deeds and weaknesses always prevail. Human never admits defeat, though he faces life with uncertainty. He beholds on his wit and intelligence, he keeps on fighting although defeated. There is great indignation in human. I am anti human. And yet, I am a human.”
An Educator carries the future of a person, the community, the region, the nation, and of course the World, because without studying Education, life would be useless. I believe that ALL students regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religious background, and/or any other classification are deserving of a holistic education. This holistic approach would include an education that will allow them to fully discover themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and benefit from necessary real world/real life instruction. Furthermore, this type of approach would expose students to cultures and experiences that they otherwise would not have the opportunity to encounter. I believe a good teacher, first, has a powerful faith in the future.
The good teacher knows and understands students, how they develop and learn. I know that students actively construct and transform their own knowledge based on past experiences and prior learning. I know that students do not all learn in the same way or at the same rate. I believe it is my responsibility as a teacher to be an effective diagnostician of students’ interests, abilities, and prior knowledge. I must then plan learning experiences that will both challenge and allow every student to think and grow.
I believe that as an Educator, we are the one who will build there confidence inside the classroom, we are the one that will be there guidance throughout there academic career. An Educator will be the facilitator of the diverse students that play their roles within the classroom; it is our responsibility to help them speak out their thoughts for a Facilitator considers the classroom as “the market place of ideas”. I believe a good teacher must also understand motivation and the effects of peer interactions on learning. I want all my students to achieve at high levels, so I avoid sorting them and setting them up to compete with each other. I know most learning happens through social interaction; therefore, I structure learning so that students productively collaborate and cooperate with each other the vast majority of class time.
The good teacher must know her subjects and how to help students 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 use my knowledge of the discipline to expose my students to modes of critical thinking, encouraging them to analyze, apply, synthesize, and evaluate all they read and hear. I love the subjects I teach, and I know how to make them come alive for my students. I eagerly and willingly learn from my students as they learn with me. I believe a teacher is the most powerful of role models. I am ever aware of the awesome obligation I have to “walk my talk” with my students.
I believe a teacher lives to serve. A teacher is dedicated to learning, to his or her discipline, to his or her students, and to making the future the best possible place for all of us to live. These are the challenges I accepted when I chose to be a teacher. I remain committed to them, a teacher who is willing to sacrifice to ensure that their students achieve not just at the present time, but also for a lifetime!
