Teacher’s Creed

                     I am an educator and I have been entrusted with the future. I believe that today's learner's are tomorrow's leaders. They are the engineers, teachers, lawyers, and ambassadors of our future.

             

              As an educator, I fully recognize the tremendous impact my words and actions have on the lives of those with whom I entrusted. I am humbled by the opportunity I have been given to open the minds of my learners to the wonder and beauty of the world, and I am awed by the infinite possibilities that life hidden within the hearts and minds of the young people I encounter in my classroom everyday.

             

               I am preparing my learners for a future that does not exist. I will not let anyone of them down. I will design learning experiences that allow them to make connections to each other and to the world. I will encourage them to reach beyond boundaries of the classroom as they seek to discover their own unique place in today's society. I will strive to create an atmosphere in which they are free to explore the unique talents, passions, and strengths that will allow them to impact their world, both today and in the years to come. My hope is that each of my learners will leave me with a deeper sense of who they are and who they may ultimately become.

Personal Education Philosophy

            Teaching young minds is a task that cannot be taken easily. It is full of challenges and responsibilities. However, it is a task that is also full of excitement, learning, wonder, and joy. I strongly believe that all children are capable of learning if they have the proper motivation and direction from their teachers. As a future teacher I need to aware of learning, motivation, behavior, and development theories in order to relate to my students and push them to reach their full potential. It is my duty to see that all my students are being motivated; this is only fair to the students. They deserve my time and full attention in regards to their education.

         Classroom organization is also a key concept to consider when teaching. If students are in a classroom that is unorganized or set up in a way which hinders learning, it is not a good situation for anyone. I need to find creative, new ways to have the room set up and to help my students learn. I also believe in teaching content that is meaningful, applicable, and inviting to students. If they do not see the point of the subject matter then they will not be interested in it. I also believe that high energy levels and a positive attitude from the teacher are key elements to a successful learning environment.

            As future teacher, I will enrich the minds of students. I want them to understand the importance of education. I will serve as a role model and gain respect from all of my students. I believe that my teaching strategies will be inspiring, and my dedication and passion for teaching. I hope that after every successful year of teaching I develop a feeling of satisfaction. I want my students to have an understanding of why education is really important and a positive outlook on life. I hope that by my passion for teaching will have a good result or impact on my students. I want them to walk away with a continuing eagerness and motivational drive to learn and advance.
