My philosophy of teaching is to create a safe environment that allows for freedom of learning where all-around flexible and adaptable teaching style (formal authority, demonstrator, facilitator, and delegator), differentiated instruction, and cooperative learning is being carried out with mutual love and respect among my learners. I believe that learner-oriented teaching promotes enduring understanding and learning that is both continuing and purposeful. I believe that the most significant learning occurs in situations that are both meaningful and realistic. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to discover the diversity and uniqueness of my learners, what kinds of mathematical knowledge and experience they bring to the class, and what they want to attain so that I can adapt a 21st century knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values with emphasis on a curriculum that fits their needs and yet leaves enough room to accommodate lessons that emerge from independent and group discovery. I always believe in the statement of Socrates that Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. I embrace differentiated instruction and cooperative learning method in teaching and other active learning activities with the use of hands-on materials and multimedia visuals and tools because they stimulate motivation, participation, intellectual discussion, cooperative problem solving, and camaraderie and lay the foundation for life-long collaborative practice. By assessing where my learners are with respect to our departments learning goals and mine, I can provide the framework they need to build connections between what they already know and the new understandings they seek to create. I believe that teachers who demonstrate interest and thirst for learning motivate students to achieve and so choose to develop his personal proficiency through attending seminars and workshops, collaborating with colleagues on instructional strategies, and through pursuing higher studies. As an all-around flexible and adaptable teacher, believe that innovative teaching practices can cover up the lack of facilities or school materials and congested classrooms; and these are not hindrances for my students growth and desire to achieve their learning goals. It is my sincere joy when I see my students give quality presentations and quantitative output and most of all when they achieve their dreams right before my eyes.
