Educating our Future Statement of Education Philosophy Tara Morrish

Educating our Future One of the most important things a person can do for another person is to help them earn an education. A proper education is the building block most essential to having a successful and happy life. The teacher is a student’s role model for an entire year, and sometimes even beyond that year. A teacher should aspire to be a great many things but most of all they should want to have a positive impact on their students, never want to stop learning, and be able to adapt to change. When a person decides to become a teacher, they set out to make a difference in the world. One of the best ways to have a positive impact on a person’s life is to become a teacher. Not just any one gets the chance to have a positive impact on a person’s life. Having the ability to help someone further their education and better their life is one of the reasons why a person becomes a teacher. Some people are born with an innate ability to connect to people and have a way with words that everyone understands. These abilities are essential in the classroom for a teacher to be able to connect with their students. The teacher not only needs to know how to explain the educational materials but be a safe haven with whom the students can talk. It only takes one person to show that they care to change a person’s life. If a student is about to give up on school because they are too behind in their classes for whatever reason or they have some undiagnosed learning condition, it would take just one person to show that they care and are willing not to give up on them. Students are not the only ones who are encouraged to stay in school, teachers are also encouraged to continue their education even after they are in a classroom. To be a teacher means never ceasing to being a student. There are many ways for a teacher to continue their education even after they have graduated from college. Many workshops provide different problem solving skills that teachers can utilize in the classroom along with other certifications that a person can obtain. When it comes to an education, it does not always have to come from the teacher it can also come from the students. Students bring a vital aspect of learning into the classroom. They help the teachers think of new ways of teaching the materials and keep them current with different trends and technology. Technology is something that every teacher needs to have knowledge about. There are so many programs and applications that teachers can incorporate into the lessons that will not only help students learn the material in a different way but also keep students current with what is going on in the world. When teachers are in the classroom they need to utilize every technique they can to catch the attention of their students. This means that a teacher must be up on all of the current technologies that are available by bring it into the classroom so they may teach students materials in a way that students will retain the information. Some of the new technology that is being brought into the classrooms are smartboards, i-pads, and e-readers. With this new technology in the classroom the students are getting a new ways to learn and interact with the curriculum. Along with different technology that changes the way teachers teach, the curriculum is also subject to change. Because of the Common Core Standard being implemented in the school systems, teachers have to change what is being taught in the classroom. This takes a great deal of adopting. Teachers are willing to do anything to ensure their students are getting the best education possible. Not every person gets to go home at the end of their workday and say’s that they had a positive impact on a person’s life. Even though this is a big responsibility, teachers make it look effortless even though it takes a great deal of effort to teach others. A person should go into teaching to have a positive impact on their students, never want stop learning, and be able to adapt to change. If these are only some of the qualities a teacher possess then the students who are being taught are going to go far in their educational careers. A student should be able to look up to their teachers as role models and if their teachers are not putting in their best efforts to teach their class then the students will not put in their best effort to learn.
