Experience that shaped my philosophical approach to teaching.
My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that each student brings unique abilities and qualities to the classroom. To embrace this, I cultivate a secure learning environment that fosters community, encourages participation through various methods, and builds trust. Through these efforts, I aim to create an inclusive classroom where students collaborate, access information diversely, and integrate different subject areas, fostering confidence in their abilities and intellect.
Experience that shaped my professional identity.
Receptiveness to Diversity:
The practicum served as an intensive introduction to the reality of diversity in education. I discovered that each student has a unique background, preferred method of learning, and obstacles to overcome. This realization encouraged me to become a more flexible educator who is always looking for diversified teaching methods and resources to meet the requirements of each student. I now firmly believe in inclusive education, which allows every student to succeed.
The Power of Relationships:
I learned early on that the best teaching happens in the rich, fertile environment of interpersonal connections rather than in the academic void. Developing sincere relationships with my students became a pillar of my teaching strategy. Better academic results are made possible by these interactions, but they also help children develop resilience and self-worth, two qualities that are essential for long-term success.
