An Educational Philosophy

Education is one of the most important aspects of life; it is a journey that is constant and always satisfying. Each person must hold their intelligence in balance with their long and short-term goals. I grow older and see education as a door that opens up a multitude of possibilities in life; education is a bond every person shares. A person’s willingness to learn and experience is measured by how they live and seek out information. In life, I am not only an educator but also a student.

People tend to measure their life in goals, whether they are reached or fade into darkness; goals give us sense and direction in our lives. It is my firm belief that education is not a short term but a long-term goal. It forms our image or what life means, at its peak education can inspire great love, and it can lift people to a higher plane. For all of these reasons and more, I believe that education is one of the noblest pursuits.

To be a successful educator, a person needs to connect with their desire to grow and learn. Every person has something to be taught, and every person needs to keep an open mind. An educator acts as a conduit through which information, desire, and dreams flow. A teacher is a shinning lighthouse that glows in the dark sea, leading students to their dreams and desires in life, and through education a person can become a better human being. Education is not a career choice, but it is a righteous requirement in life. However, there are several important aspects that educators need to develop and learn.

To better suit their students and establish a life long commitment and fascination to subject matters, a teacher needs to be able to adapt technologies, different learning processes, and be able to connect with students on multiple levels. Technology should not be disowned by teachers, but embraced as a new means to reach and connect with students. I believe the World Wide Web will become on of the worlds greatest learning achievements in the years to come. It is my responsibility to do everything in my power to find creative ways to unlock potential in the minds of students. Educators need to utilize every aspect of technology in their pursuits and lessons. In education, there are many theories and processes that all educators need to use and adapt to their students. The most important goal of a teacher is to form a connection to their students. They need to find, inspire, and grow a life long hunger for learning. Through activities and lectures it is possible to teachers to inspire and connect to many students; educators need to shape their lesson plans to be engaging and inspiring. I believe, that one teacher can make an extreme difference in the mindset of a student. This notion and attitude needs to be cultivated in teachers in order for them to reach more students.

Educators need to constantly research and pursue new learning strategies. Teachers discover new ways to reach students and provide engaging and interactive lessons. Over the course of my career in education I plan to continually advance my understanding of lesson plans and incorporate new technologies into the learning process.

Education is a process of constantly learning and gaining new concepts and information; to be a successful teacher, one needs to inspire, adapt, and create concepts. These concepts should be created and used with the learning process in mind; teachers need to refine their lesson plans and information to reflect and make better use of the technological advances. Teaching requires a lifetime commitment.
