My Philosophy of Teaching Essay -- Philosophy of Education Teachers Es

Philosophy of Education I believe that teachers have one of the most important and rewarding jobs in this country. Their primary job is to prepare young people for the future. This is why I want to become a teacher. I want to help young people grow and learn, while having fun in the process. In this paper, I am going to share my philosophy and the goals that I hope to achieve and use in my career. I am going to give my beliefs and thoughts on knowledge, the purpose of education, why my chosen field (science) is important and the best methods to use to teach this field, my principles, and the steps and processes I will take in order to become the best teacher I can for my students. I believe that all children have the ability to learn and succeed in school with the possible exception of those that have serious physical or mental handicaps. I don’t think there are such things as bad students, just unmotivated ones, and/or those who are a little bit slower at getting the most out of a given subject.

I feel that it is important to pass on to my students the most recent developments in my field. I really want to become a teacher for several reasons. I love working with young people, especially teenagers. I want to be more than a teacher. I want to be their friend, someone that will always listen to their problems, and help them the best that I can both in and out of the classroom. I want to be an influence on them and leave a positive impact on their lives. Kids are our future, and I want the future to be full of good things. I have experienced these types of teachers myself, along with some very bad ones. I have developed a liking for science from teachers who have set a good example and shown concern. I want to make that difference in my student’s lives as well.
