I believe
teaching is a life-long learning process and regardless of one’s years of
experience, there is always room for improvement. I feel that in a world as
ever changing as ours, it is crucial for teachers to be open-minded and
receptive to new ideas and styles of teaching. A resilient teacher is willing
to experiment and adapt with a wide variety of teaching methods, as he or she
understands no two students ever learn in the same way. Additionally, I believe
a model teacher is a team player; someone who understands the power of having a
strong support system and, likewise, the importance of being a strong support
system to others. I believe in being confident in one’s teaching abilities, but
also in being humble.
I believe in creating a safe, welcoming and nurturing classroom community that fits the diverse needs of all students. I feel all students need a calm and comfortable yet stimulating environment in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my goal as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that supports risk-taking, invites the sharing of ideas and encourages self-discovery. My classroom is a place where all students can learn without fear of failure and a place where they can succeed based on their individual efforts and talents. All students have the capability for knowledge and learning, and they deserve their education to be in an encouraging and supportive environment. My classroom is a place where all diversities (academic, cultural, economic, etc.) are embraced and celebrated.
I firmly believe that the respect I receive from my students is the respect I provide to them. I help my students learn how to take care of and respect themselves, others, and the world around them. I teach my students independence, responsibility, time-management, and organization. As I believe a teacher should be child-centred, I always take the time to connect with every student on a personal level. Although I am always empathetic and compassionate towards my students, I also always hold them to high standards to ensure they reach their fullest potential.
I maintain that all classroom activities should be engaging and authentic. I want my students to be inspired and motivated to learn and, furthermore, I want them to be able to apply everything they learn to their everyday lives. Thus, it is my goal to develop curriculum around student interests to foster intrinsic motivation and stimulate their passion to learn. I use differentiated instruction for all students, as I understand each child is a unique individual with diverse academic needs and abilities. I also strive to incorporate a wide variety of kinesthetic, hands-on and technology-based activities in my classroom. Overall, I know tailoring my teaching style to fit the needs of my classroom will create ample learning opportunities for every student.
Finally, to ensure my students are intrinsically motivated, life-long learners, I strive to lead by example. I always strive to express my dedication to teaching and convey my passion for learning.
