Educational philosophy

To ensure my students receive the best education i can give them, I plan on incorporating shared discussion rooms during our daily zoom/teams meetings. My lesson plans will cover a variety of topics involving science, math, English, and history at a first-fifth grade level (depending on what grade level I cover.) The importance of each lesson is to ensure they are engaging to my students. When given homework I will make sure it helps develop their skills to analyze, infer, and apply information, especially in the science section of the lesson plan. A reward system will also be put in place, not necessarily for good grades, but for their ability to show growth, improvement, and trying their hardest on each assignment. Good grades are often favored more than the actually attempt a student makes. Many students try their best, but fall short when their best is perceived as good enough. I want to make sure that their hard work does not feel wasted or unearned, and that any struggles with their learningability will be noticed and addressed immediately. No student shall be left behind within my classroom.

The assignments and activities I will bring to the table will be a variety from at home science projects and presenting your findings online, jeopardy games to evaluate my students trivia knowledge and quick thinking skills, KaHoot as a way to keep my students engaged and fire their competitive spirit, and implement other learning websites such as iReady to improve their reading and math skills. This learning devices will help implement my goal of my students understanding the material, and not just simply passing it. Anyone could pass a history test, by memorizing dates and names. However, I want my students to dig deeper than that. Why did this event happen, what were the cause and event is this characters actions, why does the Earth revolve around the Sun. Negative reinforcement and bad grades, tend to discourage students from their learning experience at such a crucial part of their development. Seeing a F may lead them to internalize their failure, ergo they believe they are one. I am not saying that I want my students to fail. Instead, I want them to understand that failing one time, does not mean they are destined to fail again. I will take what they gor wrong, and ensure they understand it better. After all, I am their teacher, and it is my duty to make sure they keep moving forward.
