My Philosophy As An Educator

     It is my belief that through education, an individual will receive the vital skills and tools that are necessary to build a life that is successful and prosperous.Within an educational setting, students should be continually encouraged to solve their very own problems similar to those that they will encounter outside the classroom and instill in them the necessary skills to become flexible problem-solvers in preparation for their adult lives. I believe that as an educator, it is my duty to ensure that learning takes place in a safe, open and conducive environment, so that students will be able to learn the important aspects of developing and fostering positive relationship with others.

     My decision to pursue a career in teaching is due, in part to my intrinsic desire to make a positive impact to the lives of the children whom I will be teaching. Teaching is a noble and highly rewarding profession in which one is able to directly affect change in the lives of others and I cannot think of a better way to contribute to the betterment of the society. As I continue my journey toward the realization of my dream of becoming a teacher, there have been many people who helped me establish my career goals and objectives, including my friends and family members. As my professors told me, not too soon, I will become a part of the new breed of prolific teachers and I have learned to become matured enough in an environment in which education is considered a paramount to my future success.

     The talent to build meaningful relationships with my students in NSTP and the determination to "go the extra mile" are two more of my strengths as a teacher. I thank God for such opportunity and of course, the COC-Phinma family for the trust that I can handle the task of being a facilitator. This will serve as my training ground to becoming an effective and efficient educator in the near future. Through the development of a relationship that is honest, open and respectful, my students will be able to know that I understand and accept them for who they are. I commit myself to working as hard as necessary and spending much time as necessary to make my students successful both academically and emotionally.

     To conclude, my philosophy as an educator is to instill a passion for learning within my students while providing them with an educational environment that is encouraging and positive. I hope to provide skills and tools necessary for success and foster the individual talent of each student, giving them the confidence to embrace their dreams and make them a reality. In a long run, students will look back on their time with me and remember me as a teacher who genuinely cred for their well-being. My peers will recall me as a professional who was always eager to participate and a mentor who had actively contributed to the growth and development of the school community.
