My philosophy of teaching has been heavily influenced by teachers who have impacted my life. Upon reflection, I have realized that these teachers demonstrated four essential principles that have become the core of my teaching philosophy.
Effective teachers take responsibility for their students' learning.
The secret to being a successful teacher is . . . Those teachers who do take personal responsibility for their students' successes and failure . However, in my opinion, true teaching has not occurred unless the pass has been both thrown and received. This view does not relieve students of their responsibility, but rather extends my responsibility to understanding how best to motivate students and stimulate their learning. Effective teachers make their students active participants in the learning process.
