1 MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Briefly write down your teaching philosophy. Include aspects such as: why you want to be a teacher;
what subject and age group you would like to teach and why; how you believe learners learn best;
how you believe teaching should take place; why you believe teaching is a vital profession; and how
you believe you can make a difference.
A good instructor, in my opinion, must also be aware of motivation and the impact of peer experiences
on learning. Since I want all my students to reach high standards of achievement, I resist sorting them
and putting them in competition with one another. Since I understand that most of the learning occurs
through social interaction, I arrange learning so that students communicate and work productively with
one another for most of the class time. Mathematics and natural sciences, grades 4 to 6, are the topics
that I would like to teach. I want to teach those subjects because they are easy for me to understand
and I have a lot of fun teaching them in my classroom. I understand that a good teacher must have a
thorough understanding of how knowledge is produced in the discipline, structured, and connected to
other disciplines. I apply my knowledge of the discipline to introduce analytical thinking to my Learners,
enabling them to consider, apply, synthesize, and assess everything they read and hear. I love the
subjects I teach, and I know how to make them come alive for my learners.
Without being a learner, a good teacher cannot begin or continue to inspire learning. A good teacher
must keep up with what is new in their field. A successful teacher often contributes to the creation of
new knowledge. To live up to this conviction, I must constantly evaluate my teaching methods and seek
out new ones. To stay linked to my students, their lives, and the schools where they will pursue their
careers, I must continue to learn about society and the ever-changing environments in which they
reside. As they learn with me, I enthusiastically and happily learn from them. I am a firm believer in the
ability of questions and challenging methods to elicit thought. I am still trying to improve my
"questioning" skills, since the successful use of questions is the most important technique a teacher can
use to help students understand. Finally, I believe that a teacher's purpose in life is to serve others. A
teacher is committed to learning, to his or her discipline, to his or her pupils, and to making the world a
better place for all of us to live in the future. These are the challenges I accepted when I chose to be a
teacher. I remain committed to them.
