My Philosophy of Teaching Essays -- Educating Educational Teaching Ess

Philosophy of Education Teachers, unlike any other professionals have the chance to shape and change young lives. For this reason, I believe that teaching is one of the noblest professions that one could choose. From the time I was a young boy and watching my father in his classroom I knew always wanted to be a teacher. It always seemed like the perfect career. A career in which I felt was best suited for me. One in which I would want to wake up earlier and earlier every morning because I would be excited at the fact that I knew that I was on my way to help develop the future minds of our world. I believe the intrinsic rewards for this profession are far greater than the extrinsic ones and not too many other professionals can say the same. The way a child can make you feel after accomplishing a goal that they thought was not possible without your help is unimaginable. Teaching is the most important job in the world and it comes with a large amount of responsibility. Teaching is a job that I feel I am suited for. I want to touch the minds of the future; I want to teach. I think that all children have the ability to learn, especially at a young age. I agree with Rousseau and his belief that you can not teach a child until he is ready to learn. I think that if a child does not want learn or is not ready to and learning is forced upon them, it could be detrimental to their educational process. It could put them in a hole to deep to get out of. I believe all children are born innocent, it is their environment and society that shapes them. Most children are curious about the world around them and are always pushing their limits to see how much they can get away with. I know students I will be teac... ...aching them to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. I will teach them to use their time wisely to do something productive that will help assist in their success in life. In PE it is about having fun, but at the same time it is about teaching children lifelong skills and having a sense of pride about themselves. Educators are such an important resource in a person’s life. I hope that someday I will be able to touch the heart of a child the way so many of my teachers have touched mine. I wish that I could repay the debt I feel that I owe to so many of my teachers past and present. Learning does not stop in the classroom; it is a continuous process that is life long. I want to be apart of that process. I want to be able to help jump start the minds of our future, and be apart of the all-important association of learning. I want to be a teacher.
