My Special Philosophy

Image result for pASSION
    Each teacher has their own educational philosophy. I am grateful for the education I have received from elementary school until present. Each teacher has impacted me in different ways, and some have influenced the way I see education. As a child, I always was amazed at my teachers. I always wondered how they knew EVERYTHING, and of course, if they lived at school. I always felt a sense of love when I was at school. I always had fun, and couldn't wait to go to school the next day to see my teachers! School is one huge learning experience. I believe all teachers need to have passion when it comes to their job. Teaching is a very passionate career. I will have a very important job, which is shaping the minds of young children, and inspire them to be the best person they can, through teaching. hen I think about my educational philosophy, I automatically think of PASSION. My philosophy of education is passion driven. To be a teacher means to shape the minds of young individuals. Teaching is passion driven. I didn't wake up one morning and decide I wanted to a be a teacher. It didn't dawn on me until 11th grade in my US History class. I had such an amazing teacher, and he was so passionate about what he taught. It made learning so much fun! I know that teaching is such a demanding, tiring, and challenging field. But it is also inspiring, amazing, and rewarding. My main goal of teaching is to engage my students, have fun, and encourage them, this way they want to learn!

I will find ways to accommodate each and every one of my students. I know every child learns differently, that is why I will differentiate my instruction this way I reach the needs of all my students. Some students may work better in groups, some students may work better independently, and some students may work better with my support. No matter what the student needs, I will be sure to provide them with instruction that is best for them. When it comes to teaching it is important that teachers share their knowledge with their students. Teachers have to be educated to the point that they have to share all their knowledge. This allows students to learn and is important because you are their basis for education which leads to their future. Teachers need to have compassion and be approachable. Along with having compassion and being approachable teachers need to be loving, caring, understanding, good communicator, and an even better listener.

Help! The Avalanche is upon us!

Help! The Avalanche is upon us! Snow falls as I'm sledding down the mountain. I pause to take a peek behind me and I froze In that moment, I thought my life was over. The snow sweeps over my head at full force. I thought I was going to die. The Avalanche was coming. But I survived. By: Michaela Otranto

Group 2 Takes on Direct Instruction!

This past week group 2 took on direct instruction and inquiry! I was so excited to see what they had planned for the fourth grade! The teachers of group 2 were Megan, Kelly, and Bailey. All three of them did a wonderful job. They taught about light energy.   They began their lesson by asking the students what they thought their lesson was going to be about. The slide predicted energy. The students shared their thoughts. Most students predictions were correct! After the students knew what they were going to be learning about the teachers began their lesson.  They began by showing the students a word cloud. The word cloud was wonderful! It included key words they would be hearing throughout the lesson. The teachers   handed out a vocabulary sheet for the students to fill in during the lesson. From my perspective, the vocabulary sheet should have been handled differently. It was very long and the students didn't understand how to write their own definitions rather tha...

Back to Learning

Today was the first day of Science and Technology Methods! I am so incredibly excited to begin learning about teaching Science through technology. In the beginning of class today we watched this video(shown on the side of the blog). This video was a great introduction to the course. With being a teacher candidate I think it is important to be knowledgeable about technology. Technology is the key to being a successful teacher. The students of today are so obsessed  with technology. They spend most of their time on the computer, playing video games, and so on. When technology is brought into the classrooms, it opens the doors for engagement. Having your students engaged is super important. As a child, I loved school. Although I loved school, I do not remember much technology involvement. There were very limited resources when it came to technology. I attended computer class once a week, and sometimes if we were participating in a web quest, there would be c...
