MY PHILOSOPHY IN TEACHING

“MAKE A DIFFERENCE…LOVE THE LEARNERS…INSPIRE

THE PARENTS…CONSPIRE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND
STAKEHOLDERS AND WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF
THE LEARNERS”…

This philosophy in teaching came into life with my

experiences as a classroom teacher for 21 years now. Being
assigned to different schools with different cultures and beliefs
about how to educate the learners was a very enriching
experience for me. I have tried to make a difference in order to
share what I have so that learners will continuously come back to
school and learn. Doing the extra mile to convince parents and
other stakeholders so that they will participate in educating their
children in school was one of my priorities.
From the traditional way of teaching to facilitating the
learning process has brought me to so many possibilities of
making a difference for my learners. I have always been eager to
explore and learn new trends in teaching so that my learners can
become more competitive and adept to the fast changes in the
society. I have dreamed of having a classroom not only conducive
and friendly to learners but a classroom that will change the lives
of my learners into better lives where they can become the best
persons they wanted to be where their skills, talents, and values
will be enhanced appropriately and accordingly. From what I
learned in my graduate and post graduate studies, I am sure that I
can be of great help in fulfilling my dream classroom for the
learners… That dream classroom will be equipped with technology
such as smart TV with internet connectivity, manipulatives,
educational toys, computer unit with printer to harness the skills
and talents of my learners and they can be able to compete
globally. A reading corner, first aid and emergency kits, clean and
genderized toilet, potable water system, a regular feeding
program, safe and with equally brilliant and well-trained teachers
will surely make my learners want to regularly come back to
school. Academic and extra – curricular activities will be
conducted regularly so that learners abilities and talents will be
harnessed to the fullest.
Indeed, making a difference for the learners entails one great
responsibility. A risk-taker instructional leader must be fully
equipped with the knowledge and skills, commitment,
compassion, faith, and a strong conviction so that all the dreams
and hopes to make a difference in the lives of the learners will
come into reality.
