My teaching philosophy is one that is very student centered. Student centered teaching is the main part of my teaching philosophy. I believe that every student is an individual who needs care and special needs. No child learns the same, therefore they need to be taught differently. They also need to be exposed to creativity as many teachers don't allow for creativity from students. I want to make a change in the students lives- I want them to love education and learning instead of fearing it and running away from it. My students are my main priority and I believe that every one of them has the chance to succeed, regardless of where they come from or what ethnicity they are.

Children are the world. We need to teach them properly and lovingly. They need strict discipline but also tender love and care. My teaching philosophy revolves around the students and how to effectively teach diverse populations. All children are the same- there skin color shouldn't be what you use to judge their intelligence. They can all be taught the same things, just maybe in different ways. Some children are visual learners, some not. Some students like to read, some are better at math. I will accentuate the students strengths rather than their weaknesses. I will approach them with an asset model of teaching rather than a deficit model of teaching in order to give each one of them the chance to learn properly.

Teaching philosophies are beliefs you have about teaching. My beliefs are that every child deserves the same education but in different forms to meet their needs, they deserve to be treated equally regardless of skin color or race, and that they are at the center of my teaching.
