The education of children requires that you facilitate and prepare them for success both in and outside the classroom as they embark on both their educational and life journey. An educational philosophy such as this demands that you create a safe, rich, and constant environment for students where they can make continual connections to the outside world that surrounds them, and how the work they do in the classroom pertains to that world.
My objective as a teacher is to facilitate success with all of my students by acting as a guide to their academic adventure. We will create a safe environment where students feel confident and comfortable to take risks and challenge themselves. Our learning environment will be one that supports individual growth and success, while students take on more independence and create their own goals for obtaining this success. Students will gain a great deal from self empowerment, but we will also focus a great deal on the concept of team, and being part of a community and how our actions directly effect others. In establishing this we will work cooperatively in small groups, as well as with partners, and we will focus on helping others to succeed as a means for our own personal success.
