Educational Philosophy

“Through the various realms of Social Studies, it is my goal to attempt to educate, explore, motivate, and nurture each student that I encounter in becoming effective and contributing citizens. I will promote the democratic ideals of the West, and the United States while also exposing my students to the importance of a diverse and liberal education. Education is essential to the development of a countries citizen, therefore, making my role as an educator extremely germane. Students in my classes will be exposed to research based activity, discovery activities, collaborative/team work, and extensive reading, writing, and analytical thinking. Each of these aspects along with other components such as cross curriculum teaching will be useful in helping each of my students reach success. My role in the classroom will be to lead by example, encourage and generate an interest in the topics explored, as well as guide my students through even amounts of lecture, independent research, group work, and field activity. As the teacher, I want to cater to each one of my students learning styles and create a comfortable and uplifting learning environment. As a reflection of my role as a teacher, there are several teaching strategies I will test and put into practice with my students. Question and answer sessions, PowerPoint lectures, Library/research days, concept scaffolding, daily journal writing, debates, and role play are just a few of the strategies I hope to implement in connection to higher learning. Ultimately and consistently, I want to utilize each part of my philosophy, have faith in its parts, alter it when necessary, and see that I am able to help each student expound upon their knowledge and talents; thus creating effective and contributing citizens.”
