I chose this major because I was hoping to be a teacher in the future and I want to learn new thing from teaching practice that will let me be a perfect  teacher.

I like teaching practice because always I learn new thing that helps me to be a good teacher in the future and on this year, I learn how I have to teach in schools during the corona and be creative and engaging.

My teaching philosophy is most similar to that of Froebel who uses hands-on exploration as it is important to the students. When the students in my class are using their hands for exploration they will develop their fine motor skills and they will explore new things. Also, this thing will let them learn in their own way. For example, when I was in Teaching Practice the students use their hands to explore while they are playing outside by sand and water they were explore the sand and what happen when they add water. Another thing is I agree with Frobel there should be link between home and school. This is because, the parents want to know what are their children are doing in the school. For example, the teacher takes pictures of the students and put it in class dojo so the parents can see their children. In addition, I agree with Maria Montessori that the classroom have to be prepared environment. The teacher should prepare the class for the students that the materials are accessible by the students. Self-correcting materials should be available for the students so they may work on them self. 

In my philosophy, I agree with Reggio Emilia that the students learn best through a multi-sensory approach. When the teacher put a song the students will listen, see and move in the same time and they are learning. Another thing is the students use natural materials. An example of this, when I was in practice in Brighton College the students used natural materials such as sand, water and leaves. In addition, the students need to have relationships with the materials. This is because the physical environment will let the students be engaged and it is the third teacher. 

I think these teaching methods will work best in the UAE schools because these tips of method let the students to be depend on themselves and learn on their ways and using their sense will develop their learning. I change my believe of teaching after I learn about these theories. Before I don’t know that when the students work they will have relationship with the materials but now I will work on it to let the students have relationship with the materials because they will learn best in this way. 

In this essay, I have discussed my philosophy about the theories and their method. In my opinion, I wild like to use Reggio Emilia method in my classroom because, he let the students do what they need and at the same time they are learning in their way.
