My Professional Blog **My Teaching Philosophy**

My teaching philosophy is simply teach every child that is placed in my care. I will satify that goal by utilizing the five principles I have adopted as rules to teach by; these rule can be adjusted or added to when necessary. Because teaching is a continued learning profession, I will continue to implement innovative ways to reach and teach my student's. My goal as a teacher is to foster an environment that is conducive to learning.


I Have Identified My Main Teaching Values


> Integrity- (Honesty and Sincerity) These values will help me foster a trustworthy
relationship with my students.


> Respect for Others- (Consideration for others) I envision my students showing consideration for one another, thus creating an environment conducive to learning.


> Consistency- (Keeping the same principles) Consistency with my class will tell my students what to expect from me.


> Collaboration- (Working together) Collaborating with parents and students shows the
students I am committed to their education.


> Creativity- (Inventive) Creativity in my classroom allows me to invent new ways of learning to reach every child.


Finally, I feel that my job as a teacher would be unfulfilled if I could not reach every student assigned to me. Every student has the compassed to learn and if I can reach out and open their doors to learning I have failed as a teacher. One of my favor quota is "Education is what is left after you forget all the things you memorize in school". (Einstein)

Final Assignment

GOOD BYE

To class E, Dr. Strange, and Mr. Sullivan, I have enjoyed the time we have spend together as a class. I will treasure this experience; this class brings out the very best in you and I did my best. Sometimes in this class I really felt like a private investigator, searching for data to utilize on class assignment's. So I Would Like To Say Bye To All.

Final Blog Assignment

When I started this EDM310 class I knew about computers and some of the latest tools associated with computer usage. I considered myself technological literate before this class; after we begin to engage in some of our assignments and utilize some of the tools associated with modern technology I quickly found that I wasn't as technological literate as I supposed. This class has given me the opportunity to explore and experiment with the most current technological equipment.
