My philosophy of education is based on student learning through a combination of essentialism and progressivism. The goal of education and schooling is to teach children important content knowledge such as math, reading, science, and social studies as well as life issues and skills, in a way that is meaningful to the student. I believe the key to a successful education is to help students develop a love of learning which will continue throughout their lives. Getting students motivated and excited about learning is essential for effective teaching to take place.
Teachers have such an influence and impact on children's lives.
Many do not realize the power of the teaching profession. There is so much more to school than learning the essentials. An education pertains to human growth and development physically, emotionally, and socially. The goal of education is to create well-rounded, productive citizens. By captivating student's attention with interesting materials, assignments, and projects, a teacher can make learning enjoyable and informative at the same time.
