My Teaching Philosophy

My personal beliefs about teaching are we should engage all the children in activities, discussions and solving Dilemmas. Because all the children can learn, but there are need some supports like the teacher should use the body language 'Gesture' to convey the message clearly to the children particularly if it's their second language. Also, ' model the language to build the children's scheme about the topic. For example, when I taught the children about the uses of water. I model the language (I/You drink a water, I/You brush my/your teeth and I/You wash my/your hands). Then I asked the Ss to turn and talk to discuss the uses of water. I observed that the most of students shared their answers with me and they used the pronoun (I). We should use a variety of learning styles because each child has some intelligent. We have to focus in develop the 21st learning skills for the children such as, critical Thinking skill. When I taught the children about the water, I asked them what will happen if we don't have water? I think we should use like this dilemma to improve the Ss' critical thinking skill. Second, creative Thinking skill. I let my students make a collage of the water (Rainy cloud, water drops) that help them to be confident about their works and be more creative. Also, collaborating and communicating skills. I observed my EMT put in one group three different levels that help each child to learn from another one because that I did a differentiated activity based on the student's levels to scaffold the Ss learning.
