My Philosophy on Education
I believe that teaching is a unique opportunity to guide, cultivate, build, and most importantly bears the power to help unlock the endless potential that exists within each and every individual. Such a power can only exist in an atmosphere of security, love, and enthusiasm, yet also an atmosphere of structure and respect. There is passion in teaching and a need for an environment to be created where equal or greater passion can be planted and nourished within the learner. It is my earnest desire and utmost responsibility as teacher to help students find passion in subject matter and develop courageous hope toward their endless potential.
The end goal is to help each student taste and visualize their limitless potential as an individual. Through structured programs and activities that rear and push the learner one stride at a time, an atmosphere of mutual love and respect will form aid in the vital process of cultivation. Though individual subject matters play imperative roles in the array of different indivuals one will teach, the great importance lies in guiding each student to embrace the underlying principles of learning. To create a student centered environment, students will be provided with independence yet also opportunities to collaborate in an effort to discover, problem solve, construct, and apply given assignments.
As an educator, teaching provides myself with the opportunity to continually learn and grow and share my such knowledge and experiences with others. In life ones needs to find and develop passion, passion for a given subject or idea, or above all a passion for learning. As an educator I can help plant the seed of passion, nurture the seed of self respect, and cultivate the seed of limitless potential.
An atmosphere of mutual love? That's tough - how can you accomplish that? Is it done though the content or through....?
