"My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks.
"I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day."
Teacher of English Language
I have done my job with great responsibility I was asked to have a good classroom organization, to deal withmixed ability classes, dealing with large classes, I also had to change many roles (controller,
assessor, organizer, prompter, participant etc) All of my work experiences have involved working
within a team-based culture. This involved, planning, organization, co-ordination effective
communication amongst all staff members. I am very organized and good at managing time. My
greatest strength as a teacher are being able to connect with the children and getting to their level.
Teaching provides me with a sense of achievement. Program is my ability to plan lessons that are
interdisciplinary and integrate technology. The program has done a good job of teaching me how to do this.
