My Philosophy of Education ^_^ by Carla Gomez

(I found this in my old files from my practicum days.. Just thought about sharing it)

                 ^_^ My Philosophy of Education ^_^

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

              Teaching is a noble profession. As a teacher, we have a significant role to play in society. Our influence on our students and on other people with whom we work and live depends a great deal on our philosophy as a person and as a teacher. Our philosophy of life and our philosophy of education serve as our "window" to the world and "compass" in the sea of life.

My Philosophy of education is concerned with finding self and the meaning of life.

                 I believe that every child is a wonderful gift from God that needs to be cared, loved and shaped.  Every child is unique and is special in every way. They are endowed by gifts from God and are capable of learning.

                 I believe that as a teacher it is my role to train up my students on the way they should live. To lead them on the ways that God wants them to follow. To guide them to solve problems as they discover and experience the world in which they live. To help them become the persons that God wants them to be. And help them explore and learn many things in this wonderful world and connect with our Awesome Creator. 

                 I believe that my task as a teacher is to facilitate the development of every child to the very best. I must relate with each child openly and honesty. And reach out to all children without bias and prejudice accepting and loving them as a wonderful creations of God. As a teacher, it is my duty to provide quality education to my students and to guarantee that learning will take place in a harmless and conducive environment.

                And as I determined my own philosophy of education, I realized that my calling to be a teacher is not an easy mission. I must play a great role and perform heavy task. And all of these I cannot accomplish on my own. But my God is able and is the sustainer of all things. He has called me for this mission and He will be the one to sustain me.
