My+Philosophy+on+Education

My philosophy on education is that every child CAN learn. Students may learn differently, but as a teacher it is my job to give them the correct tools so that they all may experience success and obtain a strong education that will be used throughout the rest of the students' lives. I am a strong believer in Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. The Zone of Proximal Development is the theory that students are capable of a large amount of material that may not be deemed age appropriate, with the correct amount of scaffolding, guidance, and push to reach their full potential. I believe that if pushed and guided in a loving, caring, and structured way students' learning achievement is limitless. My job in education is to find where my students' levels are and push them to reach their complete potential. In pushing them to their complete potential it is essential for their learning to be meaningful and useful in their lives. With the ever advancing technologies in the world, it is to the students’ benefit that technology be implemented into their learning. I have been trained to implement technology into my instruction to supplement and support my teaching so that all students can excel in school. My goal is to reach all students by use of differentiation in ability levels, learning styles, instructional techniques, and educational equipment. My students today are tomorrow’s leaders, and I must not and will not let them down.
