My Philosophy of Education as a Grade School Teacher (Reflection #4)

I believe that every child

·         is a rational being.

·         is unique and should be given a chance to express himself freely.

·         has the right to practice his free will and choice.

·         is a developing body and thus be given a very good example for him to look at.

I believe that values are eternal and I am also responsible to the growth of some aspects of every child   and become effective citizens of our society.

I believe that my task as a teacher is to facilitate the development of every child holistically by:

·         doing good things and practicing values outside and inside the classroom, so I can serve as role model of every child.

·         teaching the basic skills to prepare my students to adult life.

·         helping every child appreciate their own selves and know their worth by giving them the freedom to express who really they are and what they want.

·         making the learning environment conducive to their learning by making it sure that everywhere is clean and well arranged.

·         helping the children use their reasoning ability through allowing them see situations before and after.

·         giving them appreciation to whatever achievements they might have and giving more patience to  children who cannot immediately cope my lessons.

·         giving students hands-on activities so they may see reality through self experimentation.

·         giving students mental, physical and spiritual activities.
