Philosophy of Education

 Many of people have asked me what I want to do when I get out of high school, and I say I would like to be a teacher and they often say well why? I want to be a teacher because I enjoy seeing students faces light up with joy when they grasp a subject also just helping people brings joy to me, it’s a great accomplishment to be a part of. Most teachers are organized, respectful, and passionate. I also feel the teachers main goal is to be there for his/her students, to make sure the student is taken care of but of course in a professional way. Something you have to think about as a teacher is that someone students will not learn just for the fun of it, they want something in return seeing as how getting a free education unlike some kids is not good enough for them.

This past weekend some of the students went to Houston University for a competition. They showed lessons that had made, scrap books, and speeches they wrote.
Some of the results follow:

 Impromptu Teaching - 4th overall and National Qualifier
Tiana Whitmore and Taylor M. King

Teacher Created Materials - Blue ribbon
Taylor Anderton

Teacher Created Materials - Red ribbon
Amber Day
Portfolio - Gold
KyAnna Carrillo

If I had a do-over for this year it would be not being able to be an officer or compete in competitons for TAFE. 

Creativity Counts

Creativity is something you can not define, it is different for every single person due to the fact that everyone is different. Creativity matters a lot in education because everyone learns differently and has something different they have to do to learn. I was told this story about how in the 1930's a girl could not sit still and the teacher called a meeting with the mom. Well the teacher turned on the radio and took the mom in the hall way and they watch the girl, she was moving to the music, she was a dancer. The teacher then told the mom to put her in dance class, the girl is now a millionaire and has her own dance studio. There are different types of learning styles. Schools have transition over the years, nowadays the students are more focused on what grade they make instead of actually learning the material. Some of that is the students problem because they don't focus like they should, but also the teachers fault because they have allowed the students to misbehave.

Semester Exam

Built for Learning

As an intern I have watched students get so frustrated, that they break down. I know how we can fix that. As teachers we should be able to adapt each year to the learning abilities of our students. By this I mean rearrange the classroom according to their abilities. If I had my own classroom I would want my desk in groups by the students education level but I would only have four or five in the group. I would want to have lamps or Christmas lights of some sort to have a little light and turn off the big lights I think the little kids will enjoy that better . Also I would have a couple of single desk to be able to help the kids individually. Considering the length of school hours I believe about four-five minutes would be the perfect amount of time in each period. Why? Well because you would still be able to teach a lesson without your students acting a fool because they've been sitting in one place for to long.
