I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere
in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a
educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is
safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are
conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher acting as a guide, (2) allowing the
child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all
people.
When the teacher's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary
source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their
questions. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves
and practice skills in authentic situations. Providing students access to hands-on activities and allowing
adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson being studied creates an opportunity
for individual discovery and construction of knowledge to occur.
Equally important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and
relevant to one's life and interests. Developing a curriculum around student interests fosters intrinsic
motivation and stimulates the passion to learn. One way to take learning in a direction relevant to
student interest is to invite student dialogue about the lessons and units of study. Given the opportunity
for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have
created or imagined myself. When students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to
work hard and master the skills necessary to reach their goals.
Helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment
occurs through an open sharing of ideas and a judicious approach to discipline. When the voice of each
student is heard, and environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. Class
meetings are one way to encourage such dialogue. I believe children have greater respect for their
teachers, their peers, and the lessons presented when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of
them. In setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students
are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn they learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an
educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with
them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about
working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid
education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such
a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.
