Behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs-a philosphy of education-that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher's role and what should be taught by what methods. In looking forward to furture experiences as a teacher I search myself for my philosophy of education. Above all, my beliefs about education, is that all students can learn regardless of race, or ethnic background. As a future teacher, I look forward to running a classroom where discipline, neatness and achievements are in the forefront. Most children of today lack all of these things in many instances. I feel that it is the job of all educators to help fill the emptiness that is left by the parents. In a perfect word, education is a fifty-fifty partnership between parents and teachers. I'm sorry to say that we live nowhere near perfect, so teachers must continue to role play as our students mother, father, directors, and mentor. Although it seems to be increasing harder to juggle all the balls without dropping any. However, it would be my responsibility to help each student to better understand their process of learning. I will make it comfortable for each student to be able to utilize their mental skills to interpret what is presented to them. It is possible for me to show and teach each student the importance of getting the required knowledge needed to succeed in life. In other word, my knowledge and the love for children will give me the opportunity to achieve high expectations of teaching. However, I am prepared to do whatever it takes to have a positive impact on all the young minds I encounter, it is my belief that in my furture experiences as an educator, not only should my students learn from me, but from them as well. I believe that in order to be an effective teacher my curriculum would contain the basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also contain character, morals, values, and ethnics. All these things must be taught to create well rounded students and individuals. Otherwise, the product I represent to the world would be an "educated fool."
