Personal Philosphy

            Developmental Personal Philosophy (DPP) Part B.
             My philosophy on teaching centers on the belief that all children can learn and want to learn. I believe that all students hold the key deep inside themselves and it is up to the teacher to find the key and then use it to unlock their minds. Teaching as a profession is by its very nature challenging and rewarding. This could not be truer than in teaching diverse learners and students with special needs. These diverse learners have the same goals and aspirations as other students and my philosophy for teaching is that each child should have an individualized plan for success. The teaching should be tailored to help each child learn in the best mode that child knows how. .
             I believe the teacher's role is to guide, facilitate, and motivate the child to participate in experiences that will promote life-long learning. The teacher should be optimistic and set attainable goals that provide daily successes for each child. I believe we accomplish this through building on the prior knowledge of each child and through providing a positive classroom environment that is safe, caring, comfortable, and supportive. Teachers of diverse and special learners need to embrace diversity and differences and use them as building blocks to explore the beauty in all children. .
             The teacher should have a sound knowledge base in child development and utilize this knowledge for providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum that enhances each child's strengths, interests, and needs. Curriculum must address and be adjusted to include not only knowledge and skills, but also feelings about cultural dispositions. My philosophy toward learning is that we must look at the individual learner and find the uniqueness in him or her. The teacher should also provide instruction through an integrated curriculum approach that allows for meaningful and challenging learning. .
             For example, using thematic lessons help integrate developmental skills, provide world-views, and springboard authentic instruction.
