Philosophy of Education :: Philosophy of Teaching Statement

Philosophy of Education On October 20, 2001 I had the greatest dream. From this dream, I came to the realization that I would become an educator. Ive always felt that the hardest closing to make is what to do for the rest of your life. My life was heading on a different road in a nably different direction. aft(prenominal) being down this road for nearly three familys, I observe that I was not satisfied with my initial c beer choice. The road guide me to hold up College. My educational plan is to graduate with a Bachelor of cognition degree in Education with a concentration in azoic Childhood Special Education. I confuse a six year old daughter and a four year old son, that gave me complete inspiration for deciding on this field of study. Once both of my children are in school I plan to work towards my Masters in Education with a concentration in Reading. While at Concord this semester, I have several courses, outside of education, in w hich I have incorporated my passion for education. Upon graduation I will substitute school for the Mercer County School System until I am offered a full-time vista or until I begin my graduate studies. I hope to be placed in a preschool or kindergarten class because I tone that this is where it all begins and I want to be a part of their initiatory formal learning experience. I have been placed in septenary Mercer County Schools for field placements. I have had positive experiences at all the placements. I have seen how wonderfully a school has embraced an open school environment and overcame many obstacles that stem from this type of school. I have seen how standardized test in the school system, puts a great deal of pressure on the teachers to make sure the students know their material well enough to turn tail to the next level. These tests also put pressure on the students to do well. I have experienced how to modify your lessons to fit every student in t he classroom.
