Welcome to my world of Education on the World Wide
Web...my e-Portfolio
A personal view of
education...
My philosophy on education is actually simple. I truly believe that
all children have the innate desire to learn. I believe that all children,
regardless of whatever limitations they may have, want to and are able to learn.
I know that for many children poverty, chaotic homes, and some form of
disability can all be impediments to success in school. I think that most
teachers want their students to be successful and work towards that goal.
I feel that incentives need to be put in place to encourage some of the
experienced teachers to remain in challenging settings. I also feel that more
help, such as a strong mentoring program, needs to be put in place for beginning
teachers and aides need to be hired to assist the teachers with the volumes of
paper work.
My reasons for entering teaching are simply that I feel I have something to
offer. I have the age and experience to see the realities of schools today. I
have no desire to try to "change the system," but I have and will continue to
make every attempt to learn what I need to know to work effectively with a given
population. I attend seminars and workshops to help me understand the kids that
I work with. I’m not waiting for widespread reform in the education system or
for smaller classes or larger budgets. I intend to learn what I need to help
students be successful in whatever environment I am working. My goal in
education is simply do all that I can do to help students to achieve all the
success that they can.
