My philosophy of education is as follows:
I believe that our minds are a gift from God. This being said I believe that we should use them for the purposes God intended. Education is just one way we can use our minds to glorify God and give back to Him through using His gift to us. Education allows us to become better individuals through broadening our minds and looking outside only what we see and experience and looking to what others see and experience. This is an awesome tool for growth!
Also, education is an area which is beneficial to all. Not only do we grow from a good education but, also, others can grow through our participation in bettering the world. Our minds are powerful things. When we use them to our full potential there is no doubt we will change the world for good. In my future classroom, I want to instill in each student a realization of their minds potential and the things that they can do with a good education. I want to teach my students to have a love for learning and a good work ethic to match.
I like that you said it is a way of looking outside only what we see and experience. I know that that is one of my favorite things about education. I am learning about what others experience and critical thinking. I really enjoy broadening my mind and what I know. I think that more students would enjoy their education if they experienced the excitement that learning has to offer they might be more interested in their education experience.
ReplyDeleteI too believe that it is important to bring out each student's potential. When we treat our students as equals they will know that we believe in them and expect nothing less than their best. Having a love for learning is also very important and we need need to be enthusiastic teachers so that our students can also be enthusiastic about learning.
