Philosophy of Education

My philosophy of education was something that I didn't even know existed. It took watching videos and reading news articles and being in the classroom to understand what is going on, and watching it develop. My philosophy of education is this, every child no matter what nationality, age, demographics, what his or her parents do for a living, is entitled to the same education. I believe that every child needs great teachers in the classroom that genuinely care about them and want to see them succeed. They need our support. I believe that every child has the ability to learn, and should be excited about education and excited about school. It is up to us to make this happen. I believe that every child needs to be helped and no child should ever slip through the cracks or passed on to the next teacher. I believe that every child should be pushed to their limit. They need to learn to be great thinkers and ask great questions. As future teachers we need to promote critical thinking in the classroom. I believe every child has a voice and it needs to be heard. This starts in the classroom, and as teachers we must not silence it but make it stronger. It is up to us as teachers to encourage each child's voice and to make it stronger. I believe that every child is unique and should be treated as such. I believe that every child should feel special because they are and each one brings something different to the classroom. I believe that every child should feel safe in a school environment. As a future teacher this means that we need to be aware of what is going on in the classroom and intervene when necessary. I believe that every child should come an leave with a smile on their face. All of these statements i hope to incorporate into my classroom, in the near future.
