Philosophy of Education

Education is defined in the dictionary as the process of receiving or giving systematic

instruction; also described as an enlightening experience. There is such accuracy in that

definition because I believe that education, rather it is being given or received, is an enlightening

experience. I believe that a classroom should be a child’s educational getaway because they are

able to think freely. I will use fun yet educational strategies to ensure that my students will grow

both emotionally and mentally.

Education is one of the very things that measures how a child will grow both emotionally

and mentally. Keeping track of each individual child’s mental performance is an effective way to

becoming an ideal teacher. Students go through a lot of hardships in other parts of their lives that

they might not have help in. Education should be one thing that students should not have

problems with getting the help needed. As an educator, I promise to ensure that each student

accomplishes each standard to the best of their ability.

Margaret Mead once said that “children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”

This quote is one of the very few quotes that relates to how a child should learn. A lot of

individuals might let the quote go over their heads. We must give students information to

comprehend and study, but at the same time we can’t overload their minds. Some students retain
information just for a long enough time to complete homework or pass a test. Being that I am a

teacher, I promise to make learning less frustrating and more enjoyable for students to

comprehend and store the information into their mind. I believe that a classroom should be a

child’s educational getaway because they are able to think freely.

Education is something that everyone should have the privilege of receiving. Being

educated today is a very important trait to have under your belt. Society today is not the nicest to

those who lack intelligence and is oblivious to the things around them. As a teacher I promise to

make each student understand that they are important, and the world needs them. As an educator

I promise to make sure that my students reach their full potential in everything that they we

participate inside the classroom and outside of the classroom. As an influential person in my

student’s life, I promise to devote my time into ensuring that they grow into the great adults that

they are capable of being.
