In this activity we share our philosophy of teaching and learning as well as our learning style.
"My philosophy of education is based on the principle all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential, provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I can particularly relate to a passion and commitment in recognizing the uniqueness of the individual learner. I firmly believe that in order to create a classroom where pupils have a thirst for knowledge, an inspirational role model has to be in place to guide them. A teacher’s role should be sculpting a learner academically but also socially by providing them with the crucial skills that they will need for today’s society. No matter what kind of socio-economic background a pupil comes from or what difficulties may be present in their lives a teacher has to create a classroom environment that will make the learner feel safe and their opinions valued.

Creating a strong relationship with the pupil’s parents also helps the teacher to understand their pupils on a different level. It is essential to work in cohesion with other members of staff, I believe this to be vital in any school and I will always be ready to give a helping hand.
I just want to add that I'm a solitary learner who likes to use self-study and makes reflections on my work in order to improve.

In my introduction I would like to thank you for your hard work and patience in this semester! I had heard you were teacher of the year one year and now I know why. I was honestly a bit intimidated by the course, but with your thorough teaching style, I was able to fully grasp everything you taught. Moreover, I appreciated how you focused on what is relevant and actually important. I really enjoyed all of the readings and found they were diverse and inclusive. I learned a lot. It is clear that you want us to learn and apply the knowledge we gain in your class. Throughout the course, you allowed us to freely express our experiences, thoughts and opinions, which helped me gain insight into many of the concepts we learned. Here is my Portfolio to show everything I have learned and reflected on the subject : Methodology and International Education.
