Essay on Statement of Educational Goals and Philosophy
Statement of Educational Goals and Philosophy
I can still remember coming home from school after an exciting day in the first grade. I would go straight to my room, line all of my dolls up in the
floor, and "teach" them everything I had learned earlier that day. But of course, not every child who pretends to be a teacher in his or her early years
actually becomes a teacher. So although I enjoyed "teaching," I never really considered it as a choice for my life–long career.
But the summer after ninth grade made me rethink my options. My best friend's dad was in charge of a summer camp for underprivileged children. He
needed some junior counselors for the week, so we volunteered to help; we wouldn't mind ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As the week progressed and friendships formed between everyone, I realized the importance of the camp to all that were involved. To the counselors it
was a learning experience, as well as a time to appreciate all that we would usually take for granted; to the campers it was a time to learn and make
new friends, and for most of them, it would also serve as their only form of a summer vacation. So although we were all exhausted by the end of the
week, we had a great time.
After seeing the smiles that seemed almost permanent that week, I realized how important it is to work with and help younger children. I also
learned what it's like knowing that you've made a difference in someone's life. I've been a counselor at that same camp for two more years since that
first summer, and it gets better every time. Even though it can be difficult and frustrating to work with children sometimes, the reward that you, as well
as the children, receive is well worth the effort.
Deciding that I wanted to be a teacher didn't take much effort; deciding what kind of teacher I want to be however, takes much more thought. There are
numerous educational philosophies, most of which can be traced back to one of four major perspectives: idealism, realism, pragmatism, and
existentialism. All of these philosophical systems have an impact on educational thought; however, I find it hard to choose

Goals must be stated in measurable terms, i.e., how can you tell you have accomplished that goal? Identify dates for accomplishing each goal.
Setting goals is what drives people to growth and change within themselves. If one fails to dream and sets goals, it is unlikely the will grow or change
(Scott, 2014). Allowing myself to set goals is a personal commitment and a drive to make change. Growing, educating and knowledge with time allows
one to feel safe to dream and thrive to make better and larger goals. My first goal after obtaining my BSN in April 2017 is to work on myself and my
family. In my career, my goal will be to work on my clinical ladder and seek ways to improve myself and my facility. There are many committees I
would like to join and be a part of at work. I know I will have reached my goal when I have moved up several levels on the clinical ladder. My plans for
professional development in the next three to 10 – 15 years will still be working at the bedside spreading my knowledge to others who are willing to
learn. If financially I am able I would like to pursue my MSN. Being a leader is something that inspires me and I wish to be knowledgeable enough
to help and teach others later in life. The final goal would be to not retire, but to cut down to part time and remain at the bedside. I would love to
travel and volunteer my time to others in need of healthcare outside of the US. I will know I have reached this goal when I am at peace

Leadership Philosophy Statement
used to think that as a quiet, reserved, young girl, I was not capable of being a leader. To me, a leader was an extraordinary, outspoken person who
could impress the world simply with who they were and how they acted. I was not that person. However, last year, I was asked to be a leader of a
group during a mission trip in Madison, Wisconsin. The premise of the job was to guide a variety of people to give out totally free car washes and tell
of God's love while doing so. I was honored by the request, but I had a feeling I was not worthy of the position. I believed I didn't deserve the title of
"leader," because I didn't fit my own definition of being a leader. Despite the doubts, I took the position. Since everybody was from a different... Show

There was not a single person in my group who was not comfortable with talking to another member. Nobody had attitudes or bickered with other
members; everyone was happy to be there. In all honesty, that was the best, most influential group of individuals I have ever been in the presence
of. At the time, I didn't think of myself as a leader. But, after looking back at the large influence I had on my group and a city, I realized I was
wrong. I truly did lead my group. The reason I didn't realize this at first was because I was expecting myself to perform an astonishing act to influence
my group. Instead, it was an uncomplicated conversation that brought the group together. This simple interaction has allowed me to realize that who I
am as an individual does not stop me from being a leader. In fact, my definition of a leader was the only factor preventing me from doing so. In reality,
leadership is not about being exclusively extraordinary, impressing others with acts, or moving mountains single–handedly. Instead, a leader is the
opposite. A leader comes from within a group, when one takes the first step to create a pathway for the group to follow. And I believe I can be that

There are six arguments that support this statement. First, teachers are trusted by the public to educate their children fully and have their students for
seven hours a day. Secondly, not just anyone can be a teacher and teachers test other teachers, which is how the licensure process works. Thirdly,
teachers have a high level of education. In fact, teachers are in the top seven percent of the highest educated people in America. Then, teachers are part
of a professional organization which makes decisions for teachers all around. This organization is the National Educators Association (NEA). Also,
teachers are essential to society because they educate the children of America. Lastly, all teachers have a specialized skill set, which means that they

A good teacher is like a candle ? it consumes itself to light the way for others.? This is a quote stated by an unknown author about what it means to be
a good teacher. Not just anyone can be an instructor of the world?s future leaders. There are numerous qualities that one must possess in order to hold
the title of an ?outstanding teacher.?
One characteristic that is crucial for a wonderful instructor is that they need to be passionate about what they do. They have to love teaching
children. Far too many times have I heard of people not enjoying their jobs. This should not be the case for an educator. The people who are
passionate about teaching are the ones who are going to get through to the children. From personal experience, I have had some passionate teachers.
Their love for their job just radiates from them and it makes the students eager to learn. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

instruction, create a classroom management system build rapport with the students, stay connected with the parents, and so much more. It involves a

Teaching Philosophy Statement
My motivation for teaching is setting the goal to make a difference in a students life. The feeling of teaching a child a lesson, and them
understanding it, is a rewarding experience for a teacher. I have also been a babysitter for about 6 years, and being around children makes me
happy and I love the relationships that I have built with all the kids I have cared for in the past. What really motivated me to go back to school for
teaching, was this past summer after having the opportunity to be a camp counselor. While working at that day camp, the relationships and bonds
that formed throughout the summer, are ones that I am never going to forget about. The feeling of a child trusting and loving you, is unlike any
other. When I thought about how much I loved being around children, I figured that becoming a teacher would be the perfect thing for me. It took
me a few years to figure it out, but I now know that this is what I am passionate about and I want this to be my career. The relationships a child
builds with a teacher never gets forgotten, I know this from experience. I do not remember all of my teachers that I have had in my lifetime, but I do
remember the ones who I felt safe and connected with, and I felt had an impact on my education. I believe that every student who will enter my
classroom can succeed. Teaching should be student– centered and students should be accountable for their learning and behavior. In addition, students
should take responsibility for their

Leadership Philosophy Statement
As a leader I believe in service, initiative, and plan. I have always believed leadership is serving others and working well with others to achieve a
mission. As a leader I promise to lead by always having a a clear vision, articulating it clearly, and providing a sense of purpose for our work. I
believe in the power of diversity, so I seek goals and strategies that are clearly different than others and focus purposefully on improving those.
Because of these views, you can expect me to be a builder, building positive, different, and valuable work relationships, and demonstrating an
alignment and purpose about the values in all the things I help lead. As a leader who believes in values, I have accepted as a core belief that solid
values create strength,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because of these values, I also have some of what I call "sentinel events" or "no–no's": Honesty is and always will be the best quality, lying is not ever
tolerated. Unfair statements that are demeaning to others' or attacking others integrity; uncooperative and subversive behavior, including withholding
information for personal advantage, and actions that are done in secret or with hidden agendas; messy work, including repeated mistakes, thoughtless
work, incomplete work and not meeting the needs either basic or advanced of those we are requested to help. As a leader that believes in the value of
self–awareness and strengths–based philosophy, I believe we should always reflect and constructively act on our reflection in order to best find ways
for mature growth. For example, I believe I am good at identifying risks, finding out of the box solutions, seeing opportunities, and acting on them. I
am not as good, however, in spotting future issues, where the data has yet to be compiled. Understanding that, you should expect me to help you find
what you are good at, cultivate it, and then help you to find resources to augment your

My Professional Philosophy Statement I believe the purposes of education is to teach the children to do the best they can at everything they do. It 's
important to let the children know when they make mistakes to learn from them, and to let them know that they will be loved, even if they make
mistakes. Each and every child should experience a positive approach of teaching from mistakes rather than negative. As children no matter the age

The most important thing is to use the appropriate curriculum which would include certain "basics" that contribute to children's social, emotional,
physical development. . Each and every child should feel in your classroom that they are loved for who they are, and they shouldn't have to change the
way they are. It 's important to let the child know that there is nothing wrong with being different, and that no matter what everyone should treat them
the same. Another feature that is key is organization, and structure they both go hand in hand, and is needed in every classroom. The children need the
structure, and organization so they can learn, and can use this throughout their life. All children have certain needs that must be met if they are to grow
and learn at their best. Some of these basic needs are making sure their physical needs are met, safe environment, self–esteem, and loving the children.
Another way that has helped me figure out what the needs of the children are communicating with the parents, and getting them involved so that we
can both work on meeting the needs of their children. I would meet these needs by showing them love through hugs, and expressing the care I have

Upon graduation, I aspire to become an elementary teacher. In order to do so, I have to complete my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
Within this major, creative thinking and problem solving is necessary. I have set out several academic goal while attending my university.
One of the goals that I have set is to create lesson plans that will engage students and help them become critical thinkers. A lesson plan is an outline
that teacher's make for specific subjects that they teach throughout the day. When I sit down to create a lesson plan, I try not to just rely on the

In order to achieve this goal, I have had to use several problem–solving skills. While at college, I have had a very busy schedule. Each semester I take
17 credit hours. I have five, three credit classes, an interning class, and a seminar class. For my interning class, I have to go off–campus, observe, and
teach in local elementary schools. For my first interning class, I had to complete 30 observation hours. For the next interning class, I had to complete
45 observation hours and teach two classes. My upcoming internship class, I will have to complete 60 observation hours and teach three to five
lessons. Taking this many classes has sometimes become very overwhelming. There are times when I have had multiple events all on the same day. In
these scenarios, I have had to use my problem–solving skills to figure out how I would go about my day. I would have to plan how I would

Essay on Philosophy Statement
Philosophy Statement The concept of progressivism was introduced as early as 1875, but it was not until the 1920's that this movement became more
widely known. Credit for the success of progressivism is given to John Dewey, founder of the Laboratory School at the University of Chicago. Dewey
began this educational movement of encouraging schools to abandon the essentialist curriculum of the traditional disciplines, and, instead navigate
toward a curriculum centered on the experiences, interests, and abilities of the student. The foundation of progressivism lies within the concept of
individuality; students are encouraged to be creative, articulate their own ideas, value individual differences, and develop... Show more content on

While testing his educational ideas at the Laboratory School, Dewey developed a five step method for solving problems: (1) become aware of the
problem, (2) define it, (3) propose various hypotheses to solve it, (4) examine the consequences of each hypotheses in the light of previous experience,
and (5) test the most likely solution. The teacher's responsibility is to guide or direct the students when engaged in this process. Progressivist educators
feel that teachers should always focus their instructional methods on the why's and why not's, as opposed to striving to achieve basic rote learning.
Teachers are not restricted to focusing on only one discipline at a time and expose students to social, scientific, and technological developments. "They
must be creative in finding integrated learning activities that can be presented as meaningful to students." A progressivist educator's goal is to guide
students that will become intelligent problem solvers who are capable of surpassing rote memorization in order to solve complex problems, including
those similar to ones they will encounter in society. As adults and active social citizens, they will take an interest in their community and in their
country while using prior knowledge and experiences to methodically solve new problems. Related to progressivism is the constructivist view of
learning which also emphasizes the learner's contribution to meaning and

Statement 1 Why did I want to become a teacher
I believe I have something to offer, that I can make a difference in children's lives togetherwith a desire to work with children from underprivileged
backgrounds. According to Marland (2007, p. 16) the pre–formal phase of teaching is observing teachers in your world eventually plays a vital role in
shaping who you will become as a teacher. This applies to myself as I have been a scout leader for over 25 years and there is a parallel between
teaching and leading a pack of scouts. I also was a kindergarten assistant for many years at my children's' kindergarten and this shaped my desire to
complete formal qualifications to become an early childhood teacher.

I am focused on children's dispositions and strengths. Attributes I believe I possess is empathy, an authentic listener, being able to consider from
others' point of view, letting children know 'that I see them', considering each child separately but as part of a group simultaneously I am full of life,

Statement 2: Roles and responsibilities of teachers
"a teacher is a lifelong learner, it starts the very first day of your teaching career, and ends the day after retiring from being a professional teacher."
Rowan et al (2007, p. 10) posits the way we view and act within the world shapes our beliefs, which then in turn shapes how we interact with others,
and expect others to behave with us. This then extends into teaching as a role and responsibility as personal biases have to be recognized and then laid
to one side in teaching as a profession.
Hill et al (2005, p.10) state that an effective teacher locates children's intentions, providing suitable actions that scaffold the children in their learning
journeys, with the end result in children themselves being able to problem solve, use inquiry based learning techniques and becoming meaningful in

The Statement Of Teaching Philosophy
Statement of Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy consists of seven components that create an effective, well–organized and interactive learning environment for students. These
components consist of developing healthy relationships, a creating safe classroom atmosphere, constructing a detailed and clear syllabus/assignments,
taking neutral stances toward social–religious difference, developing critical thinking, broadening the intellectual horizon of students, and assessment
of the teacher by students. I think these components of my teaching philosophy prepare a rich, dynamic and intellectual environment to help students
prepare for rewarding careers in sociology and related fields.
First of all, I invite my students to build a healthy relationship with me and with each other through the semester. For this, I try to learn each of
students' names and their socio–cultural and intellectual backgrounds in a short time, which provides me with information crucial to building respectful
and beneficial communication as well as reaching the students at their own level/capacity. Hence, I observed that building appropriate relationships
improves trust, facilitates using personalized teaching techniques and feedback mechanisms in the classroom. I think a well–established relationship
between teacher and students is essential to successful teaching. I pay attention to the dynamics and challenges of a classroom to generate an effective

Teaching young minds is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It can be full of challenges, frustrations, and responsibilities. However, it is a task that
is also full of excitement, and joy which helps my passion for teaching to continue to grow. I love the quote from Dave Burgess book, "Teach Like A

Overcoming the fact that one day you will not be able to play your sport is one of the hardest things all athletes must one day go through. It is a
fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body's years of health do not last
forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely
heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole
heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved
and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is
something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for
granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it
teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.

Art Philosophy Statement
I've always known that I wanted to pursue art education. Ever since I was a little girl, seven years old to be specific, I have wanted to be an art
teacher. I remember vividly sitting in my second grade art class talking to my teacher and realizing that everyone has different skills and abilities, and
that perhaps art was going to be mine. It was there in Country View ElementarySchool that I became fascinated with colors and the idea that an artist
can start with nothing and create a masterpiece. Soon after that I came to the conclusion that I needed to do art every single day of my life. This

She taught me many techniques and styles, but most importantly that art was not purely realism or made for beauty, but that art is an expression of

inspired me to want to hep others grow as an artist and as a creative mind. She was the first teacher that I felt truly wanted me to succeed, and believed
that I could. Throughout my years as an art student I have had some teachers who were perfectionists and only taught in a very strict concrete way.
However these high school teachers did not discourage me, if anything they heightened my motivation. It only validated my idea that I want to inspire
others and provide them a community of acceptance, education, and creativity. I need to be an art teacher because I want to positively impact the

Nursing Philosophy Statement
One's faith plays a crucial role in the healing process or when facing an incurable illness. As a health care provider, I must not be subjective to
others' faith and believes. In many cases, spirituality and religion are related and intertwined to one's health. My priority as a nurse is to provide my
patient with comfort and care and in order to do so, I must be sensitive to my patient's religious preference. Based on my own assumptions, families
tend to get closer and spend more time together as a family member is nearing the end stages of his life. This is the time when the patient seeks some
sort of divine intervention such as visitation from his church's minister or a representative from his faith. As a nurse, my duty is to be compliant to the
patient's wishes if it is within my capability. I'm also going to be supportive to the patient as well as to his family during this emotional time by

Even though I would have preferred to dabble in other courses and learn more of the liberal arts, I felt an obligation to find, and finish a program that
would yield the greatest monetary rewards for my effort. I put my nose to the grindstone and worked to become the best accountant I could be.
However, as much as I wanted to become an accountant, I knew I would prefer "teaching" accounting more than actually being an accountant.
Over time the subjects I want to teach have changed, but my enthusiasm is still the same. I keep thinking that there is no better place to change the

are found in textbooks; the next time they go to a Mexican restaurant, they can speak to their server in a friendlier manner. Even if this seems
insignificant, the Mexican waiter will appreciate the effort and the American will be better off than if they only established a monolingual conversation.

I believe that education is the key in developing today's students into tomorrow's leaders. Education is the basis on which individuals develop their
self–concept and the desire to become more knowledgeable. I want to become an educator because I am interested in helping elementary students
become active learners and also to assist with their social skills. I believe I can make a difference to many students as they start their educational
foundation. I feel that all teachers should possess the desire to devote their hard work and efforts to their students' educational success. I view teaching

When I become a teacher I plan to have my students work in cooperative groups because this allows them a chance to share their knowledge and ideas
with their peers. Due to the fact that most students are on different developmental levels, those students who are of higher developmental levels can
provide the other students with their ideas and perception of their knowledge. I feel that teachers should not be scared to let their students participate in
group work because I think it is a great method of learning.
I will establish an authoritarian classroom to make sure the students behave. I will not be a strict teacher, but I will have to stand up enough to be in
control of them. I will keep the classroom organized the particular way I described earlier unless the need to rearrange the room occurs. To help keep
up students' motivation I will try a variety of teaching methods and supplements to keep things interesting. I will try my best to keep a constant good
attitude and not take out my personal frustrations on my pupils.
I plan to establish discipline by warning those students who misbehave at first giving them two chances to act appropriately. If a student still
misbehaves, I will cut their privilege to go outside down by five or ten minutes according to the severity of their inappropriate behavior. If a child still

I knew that I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in fifth grade when I found myself pretending to teach my stuffed animals and making my own
worksheets and tests at the library just for fun. I have always loved working with children and watching them learn and grow over time. Teaching
became a passion of mine because it gave me the unique opportunity of fostering children's knowledge and skills and inspiring them to reach their

Statement of Teaching Philosophy Michael Robb, Ph.D. January 2015 Undergraduates in introductory psychology courses are often fascinated by the
unique experiments and observations that reveal insights into human nature. It can be challenging, but also more rewarding, to help students
understand the theories that try to make sense out of research. However, when students are able to understand psychological and educational theory,
they are better able to construct the story of the human experience from birth through adulthood. As a teacher, the value and excitement lies in

In my experience, I have noticed two types of people who work in children's media: the producers, who create the product, and the educational and
psychological advisers, who guide using their academic background. However, there are very few people who do both. In my opinion, this disconnect
hurts the product and lessens its impact on the desired audience – children, families, and teachers. My work history has been a journey exploring how
to integrate and apply my academic background in ways that positively impact people's lives, and it is why being an effective teacher means more than
just equipping students with information. I believe it is vital to purposefully and thoughtfully connect coursework with practical applications, and equip
students with the intellectual tools to foster critical thinking and life–long learning. These tools, rather than specific facts, are increasingly important
and valuable in the job market and for later life success, where new information can rapidly alter how we understand scientific data. Many students
graduate college without these tools, and I believe these individuals are dramatically limited in their ability to participate in, and with, the dynamic

The Statement Of Management Philosophy
Statement of Management Philosophy After reviewing reports and conducting interviews with staff members, I have concluded that as an
organization, we need to reform company policies. New policies provide management with an opportunity to improve areas, that we struggled with in
the past. In order to meet the competitive and social challenges of 2016 and beyond, we must examine ways to increase profits, improve services,
increase productivity, and improve the overall morale of our employees. As individuals, we possess different belief systems, which guide us through
our daily routines, and help us to interact with others. Therefore, by implementing a shared belief system in the organization, we can create a culture,
value systems and leadership styles, that will help align workers, with the values of the organization. Furthermore, managers should be supportive to
all employees, and should promote a work environment that helps to build morale amongst employees; so that employees can meet the objectives and
goals of the organization. It is my belief, those employees who experience a sense of value from an organization, are more productive, and creative,
which will overall increase profitability. TransitionsED Operations TranstionsED is a one–stop lead source for more than 800 profit and non–profit

responsibility to provide the children in my care with a positive learning experience. According to Dr. Fed Jones, on whom I have based my
philosophy, children who are fully engaged in learning and are taught self–discipline are better behaved and motivated. I believe that children should be

The hovering technique, although used by many teachers, is proven to be counterproductive. Instead, I will give clear, concise instructions so there will
be no misunderstanding about what is to be done. Punishment is not a philosophy that I follow. Punishment can include physically hurting a child,
displaying negative behavior to a child, humiliating a child, nagging about past misbehaviors, and withholding affection. Punishment is not conducive
to guidance and can be damaging to the child's self–esteem and cause them to become abusive and/or disrespectful to others. I believe that an
atmosphere of mutual respect and honesty is essential for students to learn and grow. Communication should be the highest priority. It is the only way
that I, as a teacher, can relate to my students. Establishing an environment of caring and trust is a major goal of this educator. This will emphasize

A Guidance Philosophy Statement(s): I believe that the purpose and challenge of guidance is to help the child in the developing process of

development. It is very difficult to build any relationship without specific purpose and understanding of child development, without partnerships with
family and staff's interactions. Teacher largely combines, models and directs all of these components for better assisting tothe child and his/her family.
Children are the future adults. I belie they not only listen to what we tell them (guide them), but also look for our actions. We cannot demand respect
from children, if we going to treat or guide them without respect for their rights. Also, any guide techniques will not work without:

mistaken behavior. For the each parent a child is a reflection of himself or herself in the small version. For the teachers, kids are also a reflection of
all of the techniques, methods and knowledge. It is not just one image of the child for all of them. Each of us uses the mirror constantly, repeatedly,

The established higher education model that I tend to gravitate toward and support in my higher education philosophy is the student centered learning
theory also sometimes called learner–centered teaching or a student–centered model. The theory of student–centered learning can be contributed to

There are two philosophies that I believe best describe my personal philosophy. These philosophies are realism and idealism. Although, the both

Idealism states that our reality is shaped by our thoughts and ideas. Its metaphysical component is the claim that there are moral facts and moral
properties whose existence and nature are independent of people's beliefs and attitudes about what is right or wrong (Cambridge University Press,
1999). Realism says that a material world exists which happens to be independent of and external to our mind and that all objects are composed of
matter. Realism deals with the fact that reality has an absolute existence separate from our thoughts, ideas and conscious. Christianity believes that
God is the supreme source of all being and reality. He is the ultimate reality and all reality depends on God. God is intelligent therefore all the creation
is intelligent and can understand him because he made us in his image with the adequacy of understanding him and his intelligent order. This is clearly
stated in scripture: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him,
and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:1–4, New King James Version).

I did not only learn things like photosynthesis, but I learned how to become an adult and to respect people. I continued my learning process by going
to college, and I plan on continuing this process by becoming a teacher. For example, a teacher that teaches a computer science course has to constantly
learn about the new technology, so that he or she can teach his or her students the up–to–date information. A teacher is constantly learning something
new because techniques are always changing. The educational learning process never ends. "The curriculum of the schools should be subject–centered.
In particular, student learning should be centered on the basic subjects such as writing, reading, history, mathematics, and science." This philosophy is
from an essentialist point of view. A student's learning process should be based on the basic subjects. Essentialism is called the back

approach because it teaches the students the essentials of academic knowledge. Ever since the launching of Sputnik in 1957, it brought the basics back

Nursing Philosophy Statement
Nursing is a well–respected and fulfilling career that I am thankful to have chosen. Nurses provide care in a respectful, caring and compassionate
way. My personal goal as a nurse is to give the best medical care possible while honoring my patient's race, religious and cultural beliefs. We must
respect others without prejudice or personal bias. Nurse's must show compassion and understanding at all times. In the United States today our society
has many diverse cultures that we must take into consideration when caring for patients. As nurses, we must not only address the patient's physical
needs but should honor their personal beliefs.
My philosophy of nursing is that all patients deserve empathy, dignity, a caring environment, and respect. Patients wish's should be honored regardless
of you sharing the same beliefs. A patient's privacy is compelled to be withheld, and confidentiality maintained. Unless the patient objects, their family
should be involved in their care and decisions. Families can play an import role in the healing process and yield a great support system. Maintaining
communications between the patient and the families and providing them educational information about the patient's care is an important part of

they can and will reach their full potential. Leadership is about influencing people by providing purpose, direction, opportunity, and motivation. It

intentions, transparent in her motives, deliberate in her actions, and collaborative in her decisions. She should exude an inspiring, participatory, and

engage faculty, staff, and students by embracing them as stakeholders, promoting collegiality through an open door policy, and building consensus on
issues facing the college, university, profession, and education.
I strive to maintain a high level of integrity in all aspects of my life and therefore expect it from others. I feel that integrity leads to transparency and

Not only good for themselves, but for other people as well. Education should encourage students to think for themselves because this is a skill that is
used everyday. Another purpose of education is to produce honest people that will respect others. Education is important because without it we
would be nowhere. There are many new things in the world that have come about by people gaining more knowledge through education and putting
it to new use. As a teacher I hope to accomplish many things. I would like to inspire my students to be the best that they can. I want them to know
that they can do anything if they set their mind to it. I want my classroom to be a fun place to learn. I do not want my students to dread coming to my
class; I want them to enjoy my class as well as the whole learning process. My students should leave my classroom with the confidence they need to
survive in the world today.
I think that the method of teaching varies from student to student. I think that the "Socratic method" would work as a basic method in most cases.
Dialogue, discussion, and debate seem to be very effective in the classroom. I also agree with Rousseau in that the child should be happy and in an

what we know, how we know it, and if there is any absolute truth. Ethics analyzes decision making and morals. One of the Atomist School's principal is

A example of relative right and wrong is killing people. In my opinion killing innocent people is wrong, but killing high profile criminals in not
wrong. You can apply killing people to two different scenarios and one seems right and is wrong. Another Ethics question is, how do we determine
how to behave? We determine how to behave using education from our family and school. At a young age we may see someone behave poorly, but
because we are young our brain sees this behavior as the way to behave. We act how the people around us act because their behavior influences
everyone around them. Do we have something/someone to fear or respect? One Epicureans principal is that "gods have nothing to do with the real
world, and man has nothing to fear from them"(Philosophy Schools). I agree with the statement that there is no higher power that we have to fear or

The Statement Of Administrative Philosophy
Statement of Administrative Philosophy
It is in looking back that we can see the future; SANKOFA. This African symbol derived from the Akan Tribe in Ghana best describes my
Administrative Philosophy. Translated, the word and the symbol mean, "it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind." (Carter G. Center for
Education). Therefore, It is upon this strong belief that I stand unwavering in experiences, leadership, management style and values. Specifically, the
genesis of my statement of administrative philosophy is derived from my gratitude to my elders and ancestors that paved the way for access to
equal education. The impact of their courage and leadership has created a legacy that lives forever. At the center of my philosophy is the belief that
it is my altruistic calling as well as duty to be a catalyst for student success. Academia is where I not only make a living but "Live my making!"
Simply put, I am called to this profession and have a duty to serve unselfishly. To that end, as a theoretical underpinning of my practices, my preferred

Essay On Statement Of Educational Goals And Philosophy

  • 1. Essay on Statement of Educational Goals and Philosophy Statement of Educational Goals and Philosophy I can still remember coming home from school after an exciting day in the first grade. I would go straight to my room, line all of my dolls up in the floor, and "teach" them everything I had learned earlier that day. But of course, not every child who pretends to be a teacher in his or her early years actually becomes a teacher. So although I enjoyed "teaching," I never really considered it as a choice for my life–long career. But the summer after ninth grade made me rethink my options. My best friend's dad was in charge of a summer camp for underprivileged children. He needed some junior counselors for the week, so we volunteered to help; we wouldn't mind ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As the week progressed and friendships formed between everyone, I realized the importance of the camp to all that were involved. To the counselors it was a learning experience, as well as a time to appreciate all that we would usually take for granted; to the campers it was a time to learn and make new friends, and for most of them, it would also serve as their only form of a summer vacation. So although we were all exhausted by the end of the week, we had a great time. After seeing the smiles that seemed almost permanent that week, I realized how important it is to work with and help younger children. I also learned what it's like knowing that you've made a difference in someone's life. I've been a counselor at that same camp for two more years since that first summer, and it gets better every time. Even though it can be difficult and frustrating to work with children sometimes, the reward that you, as well as the children, receive is well worth the effort. Deciding that I wanted to be a teacher didn't take much effort; deciding what kind of teacher I want to be however, takes much more thought. There are numerous educational philosophies, most of which can be traced back to one of four major perspectives: idealism, realism, pragmatism, and existentialism. All of these philosophical systems have an impact on educational thought; however, I find it hard to choose ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Explain how these are reflected the values, vision, and personal interests that you recorded in your "My Vision and Interests" tool. My personal philosophy of nursing is to assist all my patients and their families during this crisis of illness and improve to their outcomes, using only the best nursing practices. Although their hospital stay may be unpreventable I can better facilitate their journey to a better state of health. My personal philosophy also includes pursuing my education to improve my nursing practice.

Goals must be stated in measurable terms, i.e., how can you tell you have accomplished that goal? Identify dates for accomplishing each goal. Setting goals is what drives people to growth and change within themselves. If one fails to dream and sets goals, it is unlikely the will grow or change (Scott, 2014). Allowing myself to set goals is a personal commitment and a drive to make change. Growing, educating and knowledge with time allows one to feel safe to dream and thrive to make better and larger goals. My first goal after obtaining my BSN in April 2017 is to work on myself and my family. In my career, my goal will be to work on my clinical ladder and seek ways to improve myself and my facility. There are many committees I would like to join and be a part of at work. I know I will have reached my goal when I have moved up several levels on the clinical ladder. My plans for professional development in the next three to 10 – 15 years will still be working at the bedside spreading my knowledge to others who are willing to learn. If financially I am able I would like to pursue my MSN. Being a leader is something that inspires me and I wish to be knowledgeable enough to help and teach others later in life. The final goal would be to not retire, but to cut down to part time and remain at the bedside. I would love to travel and volunteer my time to others in need of healthcare outside of the US. I will know I have reached this goal when I am at peace ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Leadership Philosophy Statement used to think that as a quiet, reserved, young girl, I was not capable of being a leader. To me, a leader was an extraordinary, outspoken person who could impress the world simply with who they were and how they acted. I was not that person. However, last year, I was asked to be a leader of a group during a mission trip in Madison, Wisconsin. The premise of the job was to guide a variety of people to give out totally free car washes and tell of God's love while doing so. I was honored by the request, but I had a feeling I was not worthy of the position. I believed I didn't deserve the title of "leader," because I didn't fit my own definition of being a leader. Despite the doubts, I took the position. Since everybody was from a different... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There was not a single person in my group who was not comfortable with talking to another member. Nobody had attitudes or bickered with other members; everyone was happy to be there. In all honesty, that was the best, most influential group of individuals I have ever been in the presence of. At the time, I didn't think of myself as a leader. But, after looking back at the large influence I had on my group and a city, I realized I was wrong. I truly did lead my group. The reason I didn't realize this at first was because I was expecting myself to perform an astonishing act to influence my group. Instead, it was an uncomplicated conversation that brought the group together. This simple interaction has allowed me to realize that who I am as an individual does not stop me from being a leader. In fact, my definition of a leader was the only factor preventing me from doing so. In reality, leadership is not about being exclusively extraordinary, impressing others with acts, or moving mountains single–handedly. Instead, a leader is the opposite. A leader comes from within a group, when one takes the first step to create a pathway for the group to follow. And I believe I can be that person; I am a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Teaching Philosophy Statement Sydney J. Harris once said "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows." What that quote means to me is that I have not seen the world and the opportunities it has to show me, so I want be one of those teachers who can look into different states and countries and teach all different types of people. I knew at a young age I wanted to be a teacher. All those times I would teach my dollies, I was happy, energetic and communicated well; that still applies today. In planning for a career in education, I would be able to show many people what I can accomplish, and how all my qualities will make me a great teacher. Some various positions one can hold within the education field are school principal, superintendent, academic dean, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There are six arguments that support this statement. First, teachers are trusted by the public to educate their children fully and have their students for seven hours a day. Secondly, not just anyone can be a teacher and teachers test other teachers, which is how the licensure process works. Thirdly, teachers have a high level of education. In fact, teachers are in the top seven percent of the highest educated people in America. Then, teachers are part of a professional organization which makes decisions for teachers all around. This organization is the National Educators Association (NEA). Also, teachers are essential to society because they educate the children of America. Lastly, all teachers have a specialized skill set, which means that they are trained to be teaching specifically what they are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This is a quote stated by an unknown author about what it means to be a good teacher. Not just anyone can be an instructor of the world?s future leaders. There are numerous qualities that one must possess in order to hold the title of an ?outstanding teacher.? One characteristic that is crucial for a wonderful instructor is that they need to be passionate about what they do. They have to love teaching children. Far too many times have I heard of people not enjoying their jobs. This should not be the case for an educator. The people who are passionate about teaching are the ones who are going to get through to the children. From personal experience, I have had some passionate teachers. Their love for their job just radiates from them and it makes the students eager to learn. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

It requires one to plan lessons, differentiate instruction, create a classroom management system build rapport with the students, stay connected with the parents, and so much more. It involves a lot of hard work and an instructor needs to be willing to put in the time to do the work right. Being a fabulous teacher doesn?t mean that the job is over once the students leave at the end of the school–day. One needs to be willing to take their work home with them.

  • 6. Teaching Philosophy Statement My motivation for teaching is setting the goal to make a difference in a students life. The feeling of teaching a child a lesson, and them understanding it, is a rewarding experience for a teacher. I have also been a babysitter for about 6 years, and being around children makes me happy and I love the relationships that I have built with all the kids I have cared for in the past. What really motivated me to go back to school for teaching, was this past summer after having the opportunity to be a camp counselor. While working at that day camp, the relationships and bonds that formed throughout the summer, are ones that I am never going to forget about. The feeling of a child trusting and loving you, is unlike any other. When I thought about how much I loved being around children, I figured that becoming a teacher would be the perfect thing for me. It took me a few years to figure it out, but I now know that this is what I am passionate about and I want this to be my career. The relationships a child builds with a teacher never gets forgotten, I know this from experience. I do not remember all of my teachers that I have had in my lifetime, but I do remember the ones who I felt safe and connected with, and I felt had an impact on my education. I believe that every student who will enter my classroom can succeed. Teaching should be student– centered and students should be accountable for their learning and behavior. In addition, students should take responsibility for their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Leadership Philosophy Statement As a leader I believe in service, initiative, and plan. I have always believed leadership is serving others and working well with others to achieve a mission. As a leader I promise to lead by always having a a clear vision, articulating it clearly, and providing a sense of purpose for our work. I believe in the power of diversity, so I seek goals and strategies that are clearly different than others and focus purposefully on improving those. Because of these views, you can expect me to be a builder, building positive, different, and valuable work relationships, and demonstrating an alignment and purpose about the values in all the things I help lead. As a leader who believes in values, I have accepted as a core belief that solid values create strength,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Because of these values, I also have some of what I call "sentinel events" or "no–no's": Honesty is and always will be the best quality, lying is not ever tolerated. Unfair statements that are demeaning to others' or attacking others integrity; uncooperative and subversive behavior, including withholding information for personal advantage, and actions that are done in secret or with hidden agendas; messy work, including repeated mistakes, thoughtless work, incomplete work and not meeting the needs either basic or advanced of those we are requested to help. As a leader that believes in the value of self–awareness and strengths–based philosophy, I believe we should always reflect and constructively act on our reflection in order to best find ways for mature growth. For example, I believe I am good at identifying risks, finding out of the box solutions, seeing opportunities, and acting on them. I am not as good, however, in spotting future issues, where the data has yet to be compiled. Understanding that, you should expect me to help you find what you are good at, cultivate it, and then help you to find resources to augment your ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It 's important to let the children know when they make mistakes to learn from them, and to let them know that they will be loved, even if they make mistakes. Each and every child should experience a positive approach of teaching from mistakes rather than negative. As children no matter the age they remember things; wouldn't it be better for them to remember the positive approach of teaching them from the mistake then the negative. To make the children feel safe, and secure in their environment and to let them know how important they are. Children learn best in an environment that... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The most important thing is to use the appropriate curriculum which would include certain "basics" that contribute to children's social, emotional, physical development. . Each and every child should feel in your classroom that they are loved for who they are, and they shouldn't have to change the way they are. It 's important to let the child know that there is nothing wrong with being different, and that no matter what everyone should treat them the same. Another feature that is key is organization, and structure they both go hand in hand, and is needed in every classroom. The children need the structure, and organization so they can learn, and can use this throughout their life. All children have certain needs that must be met if they are to grow and learn at their best. Some of these basic needs are making sure their physical needs are met, safe environment, self–esteem, and loving the children. Another way that has helped me figure out what the needs of the children are communicating with the parents, and getting them involved so that we can both work on meeting the needs of their children. I would meet these needs by showing them love through hugs, and expressing the care I have for each child.

  • 9. Teaching Philosophy Statement Upon graduation, I aspire to become an elementary teacher. In order to do so, I have to complete my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Within this major, creative thinking and problem solving is necessary. I have set out several academic goal while attending my university. One of the goals that I have set is to create lesson plans that will engage students and help them become critical thinkers. A lesson plan is an outline that teacher's make for specific subjects that they teach throughout the day. When I sit down to create a lesson plan, I try not to just rely on the provided materials that a school provides. Generally, teachers are given a textbook, a workbook, and a teacher's toolbox that has aids that can assist them when teaching. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In order to achieve this goal, I have had to use several problem–solving skills. While at college, I have had a very busy schedule. Each semester I take 17 credit hours. I have five, three credit classes, an interning class, and a seminar class. For my interning class, I have to go off–campus, observe, and teach in local elementary schools. For my first interning class, I had to complete 30 observation hours. For the next interning class, I had to complete 45 observation hours and teach two classes. My upcoming internship class, I will have to complete 60 observation hours and teach three to five lessons. Taking this many classes has sometimes become very overwhelming. There are times when I have had multiple events all on the same day. In these scenarios, I have had to use my problem–solving skills to figure out how I would go about my day. I would have to plan how I would accomplish everything that I needed to do for the day and time to complete homework and study. Without the problem–solving skills that I was taught throughout my previous school years, I do not know how I would have managed all A's in each of my seven ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Essay on Philosophy Statement Philosophy Statement The concept of progressivism was introduced as early as 1875, but it was not until the 1920's that this movement became more widely known. Credit for the success of progressivism is given to John Dewey, founder of the Laboratory School at the University of Chicago. Dewey began this educational movement of encouraging schools to abandon the essentialist curriculum of the traditional disciplines, and, instead navigate toward a curriculum centered on the experiences, interests, and abilities of the student. The foundation of progressivism lies within the concept of individuality; students are encouraged to be creative, articulate their own ideas, value individual differences, and develop... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While testing his educational ideas at the Laboratory School, Dewey developed a five step method for solving problems: (1) become aware of the problem, (2) define it, (3) propose various hypotheses to solve it, (4) examine the consequences of each hypotheses in the light of previous experience, and (5) test the most likely solution. The teacher's responsibility is to guide or direct the students when engaged in this process. Progressivist educators feel that teachers should always focus their instructional methods on the why's and why not's, as opposed to striving to achieve basic rote learning. Teachers are not restricted to focusing on only one discipline at a time and expose students to social, scientific, and technological developments. "They must be creative in finding integrated learning activities that can be presented as meaningful to students." A progressivist educator's goal is to guide students that will become intelligent problem solvers who are capable of surpassing rote memorization in order to solve complex problems, including those similar to ones they will encounter in society. As adults and active social citizens, they will take an interest in their community and in their country while using prior knowledge and experiences to methodically solve new problems. Related to progressivism is the constructivist view of learning which also emphasizes the learner's contribution to meaning and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Teaching Philosophy Statement Statement 1 Why did I want to become a teacher I believe I have something to offer, that I can make a difference in children's lives togetherwith a desire to work with children from underprivileged backgrounds. According to Marland (2007, p. 16) the pre–formal phase of teaching is observing teachers in your world eventually plays a vital role in shaping who you will become as a teacher. This applies to myself as I have been a scout leader for over 25 years and there is a parallel between teaching and leading a pack of scouts. I also was a kindergarten assistant for many years at my children's' kindergarten and this shaped my desire to complete formal qualifications to become an early childhood teacher. Personal qualities Gibbs (2006, p. 13) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I am focused on children's dispositions and strengths. Attributes I believe I possess is empathy, an authentic listener, being able to consider from others' point of view, letting children know 'that I see them', considering each child separately but as part of a group simultaneously I am full of life, bring a presence into a room and do not mind an active and loud classroom. Statement 2: Roles and responsibilities of teachers "a teacher is a lifelong learner, it starts the very first day of your teaching career, and ends the day after retiring from being a professional teacher." Rowan et al (2007, p. 10) posits the way we view and act within the world shapes our beliefs, which then in turn shapes how we interact with others, and expect others to behave with us. This then extends into teaching as a role and responsibility as personal biases have to be recognized and then laid to one side in teaching as a profession. Hill et al (2005, p.10) state that an effective teacher locates children's intentions, providing suitable actions that scaffold the children in their learning journeys, with the end result in children themselves being able to problem solve, use inquiry based learning techniques and becoming meaningful in their ...

  • 12. The Statement Of Teaching Philosophy Statement of Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy consists of seven components that create an effective, well–organized and interactive learning environment for students. These components consist of developing healthy relationships, a creating safe classroom atmosphere, constructing a detailed and clear syllabus/assignments, taking neutral stances toward social–religious difference, developing critical thinking, broadening the intellectual horizon of students, and assessment of the teacher by students. I think these components of my teaching philosophy prepare a rich, dynamic and intellectual environment to help students prepare for rewarding careers in sociology and related fields. First of all, I invite my students to build a healthy relationship with me and with each other through the semester. For this, I try to learn each of students' names and their socio–cultural and intellectual backgrounds in a short time, which provides me with information crucial to building respectful and beneficial communication as well as reaching the students at their own level/capacity. Hence, I observed that building appropriate relationships improves trust, facilitates using personalized teaching techniques and feedback mechanisms in the classroom. I think a well–established relationship between teacher and students is essential to successful teaching.

It is a fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body's years of health do not last forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.

It was there in Country View ElementarySchool that I became fascinated with colors and the idea that an artist can start with nothing and create a masterpiece.

Throughout my years as an art student I have had some teachers who were perfectionists and only taught in a very strict concrete way. However these high school teachers did not discourage me, if anything they heightened my motivation. It only validated my idea that I want to inspire others and provide them a community of acceptance, education, and creativity. I need to be an art teacher because I want to positively impact the future, to instill a deep sense of purpose to students, to make sure everyone is cared for, to be constantly learning new things every day, to inspire generations of change, to explore creativity, and to prove that one person can make a ...

My priority as a nurse is to provide my patient with comfort and care and in order to do so, I must be sensitive to my patient's religious preference. Based on my own assumptions, families tend to get closer and spend more time together as a family member is nearing the end stages of his life. This is the time when the patient seeks some sort of divine intervention such as visitation from his church's minister or a representative from his faith.

However, as much as I wanted to become an accountant, I knew I would prefer "teaching" accounting more than actually being an accountant.

In my experience, I have noticed two types of people who work in children's media: the producers, who create the product, and the educational and psychological advisers, who guide using their academic background. However, there are very few people who do both. In my opinion, this disconnect hurts the product and lessens its impact on the desired audience – children, families, and teachers. My work history has been a journey exploring how to integrate and apply my academic background in ways that positively impact people's lives, and it is why being an effective teacher means more than just equipping students with information. I believe it is vital to purposefully and thoughtfully connect coursework with practical applications, and equip students with the intellectual tools to foster critical thinking and life–long learning. These tools, rather than specific facts, are increasingly important and valuable in the job market and for later life success, where new information can rapidly alter how we understand scientific data.

Idealism states that our reality is shaped by our thoughts and ideas.

Realism says that a material world exists which happens to be independent of and external to our mind and that all objects are composed of matter. Realism deals with the fact that reality has an absolute existence separate from our thoughts, ideas and conscious. Christianity believes that God is the supreme source of all being and reality. He is the ultimate reality and all reality depends on God.

A teacher is constantly learning something new because techniques are always changing. The educational learning process never ends. "The curriculum of the schools should be subject–centered. In particular, student learning should be centered on the basic subjects such as writing, reading, history, mathematics, and science." This philosophy is from an essentialist point of view. A student's learning process should be based on the basic subjects. Essentialism is called the back –to–basics approach because it teaches the students the essentials of academic knowledge.

  • 34. Teaching Philosophy Statement I want to start with a quote from William Arthur Ward, who said mediocre teachers tell, good teachers explain, superior teachers display, and great teachers inspire (quoted in Cone). Another quote has gotten attributed to many people throughout history: "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime" (quoted in Danielson). My instructional goal is to explain, display, AND inspire, and my teaching style would combine structure with flexibility. Relationships with students matter as do active learning and engagement. It's crucial to promote thinking skills. I plan to urge my students to challenge me and challenge each other, in a respectful way. Why? Because I don't want them to just learn what I am teaching them. I want them to consider what they are learning, ask questions, and challenge things with which they may not agree. ...

Sometimes they'll tell tales involving perceived masterpieces garnering no better than C minuses. At the core lies an inferiority mentality, and I suspect it's because at least one teacher made them perceive their writing skills as being inferior to the 'norm.' The fact is ALL students can learn! Priority one for me in teaching writing would involve leading them to change the narrative in their writing journeys. Incomplete and unsuccessful drafts would not get deemed 'failures.' Instead, they would get considered portions in lengthier writing processes. I would encourage and give my students opportunities for strategy and idea experimenting, and to assess the resulting outcomes from such testing, afterwards working to improve. Another key would be to strive to hear their ideas out and try to absorb the statements getting made in each written work they would ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 35. Statement of Educational Philosophy Essay Statement of Educational Philosophy A person's philosophy of education is important because it affects the way that their classroom will be run. To be a good teacher, a person should genuinely like the students and want to make a difference in their lives, giving them the confidence to succeed. There are many things that go into developing an educational philosophy: The nature of the students, the nature of knowledge, the purpose of education, the method of education, and the curriculum. I believe that every student is very different. Each student should be treated as an individual and not be just grouped together without any personal identification of their own.

Education should encourage students to think for themselves because this is a skill that is used everyday. Another purpose of education is to produce honest people that will respect others. Education is important because without it we would be nowhere. There are many new things in the world that have come about by people gaining more knowledge through education and putting it to new use. As a teacher I hope to accomplish many things. I would like to inspire my students to be the best that they can. I want them to know that they can do anything if they set their mind to it. I want my classroom to be a fun place to learn. I do not want my students to dread coming to my class; I want them to enjoy my class as well as the whole learning process. My students should leave my classroom with the confidence they need to survive in the world today. I think that the method of teaching varies from student to student. I think that the "Socratic method" would work as a basic method in most cases. Dialogue, discussion, and debate seem to be very effective in the classroom. I also agree with Rousseau in that the child should be happy and in an environment that promotes the desire to learn. I agree with the pragmatic view that process is more important than product. It is more important that a student understands something and is able to progress than if they make an A. As ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Personal Statement: My Personal Philosophy My personal philosophy is made up of a combination of questions and ideas from the three branches of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Metaphysics is the study of where the world comes from, what it is made of, and if anything is eternal or changing. Epistemology focuses on what we know, how we know it, and if there is any absolute truth. Ethics analyzes decision making and morals. One of the Atomist School's principal is that "things come into existence when atoms come together"(Philosophy Schools). I believe that everything came into existence because of the Big Bang, where atoms, molecules, and other particles joined together under pressure to form the universe. Based on the fact that there was always particles and atoms, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A example of relative right and wrong is killing people. In my opinion killing innocent people is wrong, but killing high profile criminals in not wrong. You can apply killing people to two different scenarios and one seems right and is wrong. Another Ethics question is, how do we determine how to behave? We determine how to behave using education from our family and school. At a young age we may see someone behave poorly, but because we are young our brain sees this behavior as the way to behave. We act how the people around us act because their behavior influences everyone around them. Do we have something/someone to fear or respect? One Epicureans principal is that "gods have nothing to do with the real world, and man has nothing to fear from them"(Philosophy Schools). I agree with the statement that there is no higher power that we have to fear or respect. I have found that there is no hard scientific evidence that a higher power exists; therefore, I do not believe in a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
