PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Craig Maude

QUOTATION
A hundred years from now, it will not matter what
kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how
much money I had in the bank...but the world may
be a better place because I made a difference in
the life of a child."
-Forest Witcraft

WHY DO I WANT TO TEACH?

I wanted to in 8th grade.

I was not sure on which subject until sophomore year

Best Buddies and other classes helped center my
focus on wanting to become a special education
teacher.

PEADAGOGY
Existentialist
Excitement
I aim to stay true to my position as a teacher, and to know
the line between friend and teacher.
Ultimately I want my students to enjoy my class while still
retaining the information necessary to continue on after my
class.

METHODOLOGY
Group Activities
Group Discussions
Getting up and moving around
There still will be tests quizzes and
lectures, but not a lot.

SUMMARY
The role of leadership is climate control. Creating a
climate of possibility. If you do that people will rise to it
and achieve what you did not expect.
- Sir Ken Robinson
Balancing entertaining the class with the class learning
and entertaining the class before they lose focus, the
area of achievement can be excelled by all.
Excitement and entertainment are key in the classroom
for the students, the students success and learning are
the keys for the teacher.
