This is a lifelong process where you learn new strategies, new ideas, and new philosophies. Over time, my educational philosophy may change, and that's okay. That just means that I have grown and learned new things."]]> 2021-11-09 17:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879044124 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879046307 2021-11-09 17:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879046307 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879052549 2021-11-09 17:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879052549 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879054429 “I aspire to create student-centered learning environments in which the student is in the driving seat of their own learning.”

While the traditional argumentative “English essay” has its merits, large class discussion, small group work, paired exchanges, and individual presentations ask students to practice their reading skills in a variety of contexts. I have had particular success with a small group assignment that asks students to draw the scene in which Desdemona is murdered in Othello. The task demands careful close reading of the scene itself – its language, imagery, and scant stage directions. Discussion of these theatrical sketches further extends the learning process by asking students to transfer the visual back into the discursive by explaining their creative choices, often in light of the scenes designed by their peers. In asking students to render their interpretation of Shakespeare’s play through drawing, I offer them a more accessible point of entry into the text’s potentially difficult language while simultaneously maintaining high standards regarding the interpretation of the language itself."]]> 2021-11-09 17:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879054703 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879056763 “William Butler Yeats said, ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’ This quote is the focus of my teaching philosophy.

Beyer used to describe the actions that she personally has used and will continue to use in her own classroom. Her philosophy was crafted from experience in the field and careful reflective thought. In her article, she mentions actual activities and assignments that she has attempted in her own life and how they have "served" her students (once again, really liked the word choice). It's almost procedural, but not imperative to the reader. Because of this, I believe she may have been writing this as an assignment for a class. For each benefit she aims to provide, she has a set action plan and I just really enjoyed it.]]> 2021-11-09 17:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879059163 ruleh https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879059716 I like this one bc it's straightforward. Structure makes it easy to read - you know just where the teacher stands.

He states his preferences and why he feels that these are the best methods, the things he finds most important and just how he carries out his tasks. He discusses aspects such as workshopping and assessments, as well as what he expects from his students. ]]> 2021-11-09 17:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879059932 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879060463 2021-11-09 17:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879060463 https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879061766 "My teaching philosophy is centered around seeing the whole student and allowing the student to use their whole self to direct their own learning. As a secondary teacher, I also believe strongly in exposing all students to the same core content of my subject so that they have equal opportunities for careers and other experiences dependent upon that content in the future. —Jacky B."

I like how this teacher focuses on the whole student and the way that students should be given freedom to make choices about their education. I also like that she specifically prioritized giving every student the same opportunity to develop skills for the future.

It explains how I want to be as a teacher. I think it is really important to create that learning environment that is considered a safe space, getting to know all your students, giving the students some freedom in the classroom, and helping the students succeed in the best way possible. These are very important factors to me because most of my teachers I had, had these factors and they impacted me in such a positive way. Teachers are a VERY important part of a students education and I want to do the best I can to become better and constantly learn throughout the experiences I have. ]]> 2021-11-09 19:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879284349 ruleh https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879593793 6 specific offered examples from our work on 11/9]]> 2021-11-09 22:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ruleh/philo/wish/1879593793
