American Education

             I decided that I wanted to be a teacher when I was at the age of thirteen. I decided this because I always wanted to know what was on the other side of being a student, what it was like to be the teacher teaching, not the student learning. But throughout my education I have learned that learning is a continuous process. Teachers will be students for the rest of their lives. This is one of my philosophies of teaching- that learning will be a process that will go on forever, whether a person becomes a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, and so on. I want to be the teacher, however, that teaches future teachers, lawyers, and doctors the main fundamentals of life, and give them the opportunity to learn their options that are available to meet their individual, their personal, and their societal needs for today and the future.
             I believe that learning environments should be equipped so that all children can learn and where decisions are made that are in the best interest of the children. The educational development of the student is of primary importance, and I, myself, am determined to demonstrate such a role to provide a systematic learning environment that is diverse, that will encourage independent, critical, creative thinking and will also be responsive to society's current and future needs.
             As a teacher, I believe my main role is that of a facilitator. I think students should use hands on activities to create their own understandings. I believe my main role in the classroom is to create a secure environment where students are free to explore and challenged to learn.
             This will be shown by the projects that I include in my classroom. Students will be encouraged to use creativity and higher order thinking skills in several different ways. I picture the students in my class being involved with selecting the projects that they do, working with the community, and challenging themselves to learn as much as they can....
