Writing my Educational Philosophy

This is probably one of the most important assignments that I have completed this year. I put a lot of thought into this statement, making it a statement that I would still agree with and support when I become a teacher. This is the type of classroom I want to have. I want students to not want to go home at the end of the day because they want to learn more about themselves, their peers, and the world around them. I want them to come in to the class in the morning ready and eager to learn, just as I will be. I want to leave a positive lasting impression on my students, as well as the school I work in. In the future I will be able to look back at this philosophy statement and realize how far I have come as an individual and as a teacher. I hope that in the future I will still have this want and need to give students the best possible opportunities to learn and the lifelong reasoning and application skills as possible. I want to see my students in the future as successful and happy individuals and have my own happiness in knowing that I was a small step in helping them get there.
