My Teaching Philosophy

I became a math teacher because I have always enjoyed the challenge of problem solving. As in society, as well as in life, problem solving is an everyday occurrence and the methods to problem solving from Mathematics can prepare someone for life’s little problems. In order to be a successful math teacher, I will create a classroom environment that is engaging, collaborative, and focused on meeting the individual needs of the students. My teaching philosophy will be a blend of teacher centered and student centered learning. Progressivism is a student-centered philosophy that I believe can prepare students to solve and handle life's little problems. Progressivism organizes schools around the concerns, curiosity, and real-world experiences (Sadker, Zittleman, 2016). In order for this philosophy to be successful, I will be the facilitator and engage students with meaningful questions and help them devise strategies to solve those questions. As a progressive teacher I will know my students and how they learn; then finds ways or methods to meet the individual needs of those students. I am a progressive teacher with a blend of teacher-centered philosophies. Occasionally, there will be time when structure and organization will be needed in order to facilitate learning. As a math teacher, I want my students to be able to apply the processes of solving mathematical problems in solving real life issues and problems.
