How I want my classroom to be



I want to teach in a democratic way. I do not want the kids to sit and listen all day with their mouths shut. I want to hear their voices, and hear what they have to say. I want their opinions, and I want to know when they understand and do not understand. I plan to be a leader in my classroom and school. I want to be involved in other organizations outside of the classroom and become a visible figure to my students. I want to be someone they can respect and seek to be more like. I want them to be able to talk to me and tell me what they need. An effective leader, which I will be, can accomplish that. 
I want my classroom to be a safe and orderly environment for learning. I want my classroom to be a place where my students honestly want to be. It will be invigorating, inviting, educational and most of all fun! Every child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which they can grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help my students reach their fullest potential in each of these areas. I plan to do this by being a role model for my students. Children learn by what they see, therefore, I plan to be the best overall person I can be inside and outside of my classroom. I want to instill good morals and values to my students. I want the children’s natural curiosity to help direct their learning. I will teach them to respect all things and all people. I will set fair and consistent rules initially and I will clearly state the importance of all activities. I will follow through with the rules that are set to show my place as the teacher. This will show the students respect for their presence and their time. Furthermore, it will teach them to respect themselves, others and their environment. I hope to have technology in my classroom to further educate my students for their future. In today’s society if you are not educated about computers or other technological advances, you will be lost. I feel to meet the needs of tomorrow we must educate and inform the children of today.

Role of the teacher..


Role of the teacher.. 
Teachers are very important in our society because we need them to provide our youth with the knowledge and social experiences they will need to improve their future and the future of the entire planet. As a teacher I hope to be able influence many lives and help students understand what education can do for them and their future.
The teacher was to lead the student systematically; this differs, for example, from Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas.
Aristotle placed great emphasis on balancing the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught. Subjects he explicitly mentions as being important included reading, writing and mathematics; music; physical education; literature and history; and a wide range of sciences. He also mentioned the importance of play.
Therefore, as we can see we need both in teaching the knowledge that is bases for the children to give their own ideas and create new information that may help the society as a hole. Second, we need to experience what we learn in order to apply the knowledge in a real life situation in order to feel the truth(fact).

“Be all that you can be



The philosophy of education seeks to study the process and discipline of education in order to understand how it works, improve its methods and perfect its applications in society. The philosophy of education ultimately seeks to improve education and its systems and methods for the betterment of humanity. Ideally, it informs and raises the quality of curriculum, teaching methods and the overall educational experience.
I believe that society would be holistic, if children at a tender age would be raised with a system of education that natures their intellectual capabilities with: facts, physical discipline, music, art and skills ,as what Plato argued in his educational philosophy .So the aim of teaching is to approach a goal that achieved by giving the students knowledge at a reasonable time. This goal is to improve and enhance social and communal life and that people should live according to their ideals.
The education can be achieved by merging all these thoughts by knowing when and how to use each method. These are some aspects:
The experimentalist educator: believes that learners need to identify and solve relevant problems in a changing society.
Realists: advocate using methods of science to obtain precise information involving the world as it truly is.
Existentialists: emphasize the importance of the individual making subjective moral commitments within an irrational world.
Idealists believe that universal standards and generalizations need discovering in moving from the finite to the Infinite Being.
Educators need to be students of philosophy. Diverse philosophical strands provide guidance in developing the curriculum. So the students need the knowledge and doing experiments to make sense for learning so they  need tangible material inorder to remembering the facts by applying them.So when the students are learned how to solve academic problems ,they can solve any social problems by thinking in a logical way and this enhance all the society problems. Teach the students by giving examples from their culture to know how, what they learn in books can be used in their real life.so teaching any subject in the curriculum can be taught through selecting the needed objects that assist the cognitive and the physical development  .
