Robert Said:

Would anyone like to share thier philosophy of teaching?

We Answered:

One part of your philosphy should cover the fact that all children are different and will have different interests, different physical abilities, and learn at different rates. For some reason, this fact seems to get lost as children move through the grades. A child with no interest in reading at age 5 may become an excellent reader at age 6 or 7. A child with an interest in art may not be interested in a structured class or could lose interest as he gets older and other subjects catch his attention.

Another part should cover your expectations of yourself as you gain experience in the field. As a teacher, one of my biggest eye-openers was that even if I did not seem to influence a student in the present, I may influence them in the future and never even know it. I only find this out every once in awhile when a former student or parent tells me how I said or did something that made a difference for them (usually some time after they have left my class). When it is said that a teacher touches the future, you can count on it. I try to include this in my philosphy.

Good luck with your classes.
