TEACHING PHILOSOPHY“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."
~Aristotle With All that I Am to All of Who You Are
Excerpts from my teaching philosophy
Motivation I intend to build my class upon Deci and Ryan’s self determination theory, which emphasizes the importance of student competence, autonomy, and relatedness for success in learning. In my class, students will have choice in how they learn and demonstrate their learning. I will make learning relevant to students lives, and have a classroom where all contributions are valued. Reflective Teaching I am a teacher that will stay current with the most effective teaching practices. Through research, reflection, teacher collaboration, and my love for learning, I intend to stay up to date and practice the most engaging and effective teaching models.
