Role of a Teacher to me

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Believe in Students

•All students are special in their own way and bring something unique to this world.

•Assist students to develop to their fullest potential  by providing an area which is safe, supportive and invites a sharing of idea.

•Install in them the 21st century competencies (respect, accept and embrace the difference between individuals)

Act as a Guide

•Provide the students with tools needed to gain assess to knowledge/information rather than feeding them with the information itself

•Provide curriculum that  grasp their interest and makes learning relevant in real life.

•incorporate opportunities for the students to discover and construct the knowledge gain (hands on activities, groupwork, integrated themes)

•Allow adequate times and space for them to use this material and let their curiosity led them to self-directed learning

promote respect and equalityP

•Children have greater respect for their people around them and the environment when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them.

• Setting fair and consistent rules at the beginning and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. 

•Using strategies such as class meetings and positive discipline, to believe in themselves, and to love themselves

Idea of Student-Teacher
Relationship

Building relationships

•“The key to achievement for students from poverty is in creating relationships with them.”

•Simply stated, students want to be treated with respect.

•Offering positive reinforcement, being consistent, smiling, and listening to their concerns all help to gain students' trust and  friendship. 

Get to Know Your Students

• building up goodwill; praise them.

•Find out their interests. Initiate conversations with them.

•listen to what's on their minds, they will begin to see that you're someone who is genuinely interested in them

Protect their self esteem

•Adolescence have insecurities; being criticized by a teacher in front of their peers humiliates them.

•handle discipline issues without an audience; This allows for better, more genuine exchanges

Meaning of FCS to me

“…two or more persons who share resources, share responsibility for decisions,share values and goals, and have commitment to one another over time.”

•head, heart, and soul.

•The heart is the mission to improve quality of life, which reflects our passion, caring, and compassion as professionals.

• Soul puts us in touch with the “whys” of our being, that which inspires, motivates us, and gives meaning to our work.
