My Philosophy of Education
After being in school for 12 years I
know that Ive had some of the best
teachers. Going to class every day and
having a teacher that truly cared about you,
made you feel safe, and made learning fun
was what made me want to become a
teacher. Having so many teachers help me
and make a difference in my life made me
want to do the same thing. I want to be able
to make a difference in as many childrens
lives as I possibly can. I want show them
that it is fun to come to school and learning
is exciting. I want them to be able to trust
me, feel safe, and feel welcomed in my
classroom.
I know that Ive always loved school
which is why I am continuing my education
at Kutztown University and especially why
Im going to school to become a teacher. If
it wasnt for pleasant experiences when I

was in school I may not like school and may

not be where I am today. I know as a
teacher I will put all my effort into planning
my instruction based on things Ive learned
in college and research based instruction. I
will differentiate my instruction so that all of
my students can learn the material and be
successful. I will make my lessons fun and
exciting and get the students involved in
their learning as much as I can by using
manipulatives and technology in my
classroom. I will use appropriate and
meaningful assessments when evaluating
my students and I will always have an open
mind and never make assumptions or
judgments about any student.
Overall, I believe that a teacher is a
lifelong learner who is always taking classes
and learning new things about what works
and doesnt work in the classroom.
However, whether we see it or think about
it we are learning something new every day
