As a teacher, I’m like a CANDLE
It consumes itself to light the
way for others
 Chosen to devote my life to educating,
enlightening and broadening the mind of my
students.

 Molding my students into people they will

become.

 Engage my students in the learning process so

they are skillfully frame and solve issues in a
social contexts.
 An institution for instruction of students.
 The primary role of schooling should be
to prepare students for the real world.
 One of the most empowering and
important human experiences.
 A PROCESS, not a PRODUCT.
 Searching for the truth and reliable
information
 Knowledge is open ended.
 Behaviorist Approach
 Cognitivist Approach
 Constructivist Approach
 Using POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT to
develop appropriate behavior/skills
 Using NEGATIVE REINFORCE to
decrease inappropriate behaviors/skills
 This method of teaching let my students
be in charge to their own work, actions
and behaviors
 This method of teaching make my student
responsible for what they allow themselves
to learn the way they think
 This method of teaching promotes new
patterns of thinking
 Guides the direction of the student inquiry
 Monitors student exploration
The mind is not vessel to be FILLED,
but a fire to be IGNITED

I believe that excellence in teaching

originates from a desire to LEARN, and a
constant pursuit to maximize one’s ability and
to communicate information to others.
 My teaching philosophy has EVOLVED
with each classroom experience. As my views
have DEVELOPED, the teaching methods I
use have also CHANGED. When I first began
teaching in PLC I had limited personal
interactions with my students. Over time, I
have learned that my teaching is more
effective when individual connections are
made with my students.
 This approach creates a symbolic relationship
that allows me to see how the students evolve in
their INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT, and also
teaches me what is effective and where I can
improve.
Lastly the quest for KNOWLEDGE is one of the
primary driving forces in my life. My passion for
TEACHING is an extension of my own desire to
LEARN, and this passion that fuels my pursuit of
excellence in teaching.
Thank you
