Philosophy of EducationColin Crawford

November 27, 2012

I am motivated by a strong desire to help children turn into leaders and become the

foundation of our nation’s future.

I know that students learn in a wide variety of ways, so it is

imperative that I create a well rounded environment that

encourages growth and matches the needs of each individual.

I will show my students I am

passionate about being successful

and motivate them to form goals and

push their own limits intellectually.

I am prepared to show students that learning is not confined to a classroom or

subject; instead it is an attitude and mindset to carry throughout life.

It is vital that I, as a teacher, have an open mind when it

comes to various teaching

methods and that I be open to

trying new things.

Every student in my classroom will know that respect is of utmost importance in school and in life.

My aim as a teacher is to enable kids to think with open minds and to consider all

points of view, not just the popular beliefs.

I will set the ultimate example for my

students through my verbal, emotional, and

physical actions.

I will treat every student in my class the same regardless of social class, religion, race, mental capacity, or any other factors.

As our world grows and expands, it will

be my responsibility to

take advantage of all the benefits that technology

offers.
