My Teaching Philosophy
Here are some key take-aways of what my teaching philosophy entails. I have seen stagnancy from my past teachers and I do believe that every year a teacher needs to do self-reflection in order to be the improve on themselves for their classrooms:
Following OCT Ethical Standards and Standards of Practice To incorporate the Key Principles of Catholic Social Teachings for students to affirm their Catholic identity beyond the classroom !Incorporating Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedgagogy To be a teacher, you also need to be an ongoing student Allowing Community involvement beyond the four walls of the classroom Making personal connections helps build relationships and fosters mutual trust. Finding what interests students helps you create new strategies that can assist them. “Patience is a virtue”: learning and teaching require time and persistence. Improvement is measured over time, with the implementation of goals. At times, your dedication as a teacher is put to the test. Not every student learns in the same way; therefore, self-reflection and learning are an integral piece of the teaching process. You need to be adaptive to things that are out of your comfort level in order to engage the student. From my experiences, I learned how to be an active listener. I listen to what my students’ and their familys' needs are, as well as learning about their passions and concerns. It takes a team to ensure proper education for all students. A school is a diverse community; therefore, I have learned to be mindful of all students’ backgrounds, to ensure a safe, equitable and inclusive environment. Providing a sense of community and nurture to each child through CRRP and standards of OCT, I have seen significant educational growth for myself and my students.
