MY Teaching Philosophy!!!

Teaching Philosophy


My decision to become a science teacher did not occur without deliberate soul-searching. After four years in the media literacy and technology reform, my heart led me to live with my dream of becoming an eight (8th) through ninth (9th) grade science. Essentially, I feel there is nothing in this world more imperative than helping students to explore and advance themselves in science. However, the effort and the supports to battle interruption, building critical thinkers and best science investigators and researchers at the eight (8th) and ninth (9th) grade level burdened me to keep my profession as a teacher. Undoubtedly, I feel advanced study and hard work is capable of promoting a sense of academic progress and educational excellence for our children. However, parental involvement as I have perceived and learned in my teaching profession strongly promote student learning. So, I make every effort to to create connection through technological devices that can embrace positive and effective relationship between the teacher and the school to ensure their child's academic improvement in science.

In regard to science, I plan to use textbooks, computers applications, educational software and other tools that are relevant to the student's academic progress. However, encouraging and enforcing effective and fervent readers through response-based approach in my classroom, whereby student's responses becomes key to the rendition of the class textbooks. I will encourage students to form conscious appreciation of science, its purposes, and ideas. In addition to this, students are expected to maximize the range and variety of science queries, where they are able to critically examine and reflect on their responses before and after reading. Science word wall, workshops and scientific experiment are some of the ways I intend to include in my Reader Response in my classroom.

My belief about the use of technology in the class room is that it enhances learning, and promotes educational excellence. Essentially, knowing the right technology tools, and using them to encourage and motivate student learning, especially, with the use of computer devices, and other educational software do defines my philosophy of technology integration. However, being able to sort out the wrong devices and links that demote academic progression in the classrooms and the schools as a whole, also explains my value and my philosophy of technology integration. In fact, developing my lesson plan, I think the use of technology resources such as overhead, laptop, and computer connections with internet did elevated my students’ expectations in life and upgraded them into an advanced learning at their own respective levels. So, I think with the unceasing flourishing technology, and the new invention we see every day, it is time to embrace technology and take advantage of it use in the classrooms.
