2.3.14 Develop a personal philosophy of education

Being in Teacher Academy has taught me so much more than I could’ve ever imagined.

Working with children of different ages and backgrounds has shown me what I find important.

Being a teacher is such a large role to fill and every teacher is different. Every teacher has to

decide what their goals are as an educator and as a person. Personally, I have learned how

important it is to create a genuine relationship with each child. At my placements this year I was

given the opportunity to work with children who are on IEPs/504s and children who are in the

process of getting one. I learned a lot about how every child is different and has different needs.

Something that each child has in common is they all want someone to care. Being there for your

students can completely transform the way a child sees school.

I believe in Bloom’s taxonomy and the different levels of understanding. I believe in this

theory because when students are able to develop an understanding to the point where they can

ask questions and create projects based on their own comprehension, they have truly understood

the topic. I feel that there are different levels of learning and it can be done in layers. I also

believe in Maslow’s humanistic approach of learning. Maslow’s theory is similar to Bloom’s in

the sense that both of them are set up into layers. However, Maslow’s is based on a child’s

physical and emotional needs. Based on the humanistic approach, children need to receive all of

their needs to survive and their psychological needs ( sense of belonging, love, friends,

self-esteem) before they can reach their full potential. A teacher’s role in this theory is to make
sure every child is provided for. Make sure that when they go home they have the food they need

and also make sure they are building the self-esteem of every student.

My goal as a teacher is to make sure I prepare my students to the best of my ability. I

want them to leave my classroom feeling like they really comprehended every topic that we went

over. Lots of kids now just memorize, take the test, and then forget. I want real learning to

happen in my classroom. I also intend to create genuine relationships with my students and make

sure they know how much I care about them. The best thing I can do for a child is show them

they are not alone.
