As a child, I didn't care for school. I did okay because I was worried about my grades, but I wasn't concerned with my future. Success just wasn't in the charts for me, until 7th grade. My English teacher took me aside and told me how much potential I really had and that it didn't matter how many people doubted students like me, as long as we believe in ourselves. Mrs. Cox was the first teacher to take the time and tell me I could do something great. That is why I have the philosphy that each student is my own because people respond to compassion.

This philosophy is beneficial to the students because they have their actual teacher taking the time to understand and respect what they need, not always what they want. Students will also be able to understand that even when they aren't meeting their goals, their teacher believes that they can, and will.

Even with taking a more personal approach in the success of student's, the relationship can still be professional. It is possible to assert my authority as well as show them a friendly/encouraging approach to success.

I believe that it's important to take a special interest in each student of the classroom. Also, with the thought process of each child as being apart of my personal life, it will give me the mindset of goal-setting success for each students. Furthermore, the parents will be able to see how I care for their child and each learning process.

My overall philosophy when it comes to teaching, is that each child will be my own.
