Educational Philosophy

My educational philosophy centralizes around my own experiences both academic and

personal. It is form these examples throughout my lives which have allowed me to grow and
develop into a stronger educator. Much like many individuals you may ask, I have always strived
to become a teacher and more importantly a leader within my own community. Early on in my
high school career, it became blatantly apparent to me that I wanted to convert my passion for
education and specifically the subject of history into a thriving career.
My passion for history is one that is very often hard to express to other individuals. I find
that the fundamental aspects of our society are deeply rooted within the context of both past
events and moments that have previously occurred. With this understanding, I feel as though
history provides insight into the motives and ideals that have and will someday exist and shape
our evolving future. However, it is understandable as to why students may find the vast content
of social studies both daunting and excessive. My hope as an educator is to ensure that I am able
to effectively guide passionate social studies students and to ignite a greater understanding
within pupils who may not have the same love for the subject. My mission as an educator is to
provide encouragement within my lesson plans and furthermore ensure that I am capable of
tackling specific aspects of social studies in differing manners which makes learning more
accessible to all. I also hope to encourage my students to take an active role within their
communities and observe their own personal roles in ongoing history.
I also feel as though in order to be an effective educator, one must also make their
presence felt beyond the classroom. I hope to be a resource for students for both academic and
personal needs. I attempt to take an active role as a leader within the school. Through this I hope

to ensure that I can establish a positive rapport with students and establish a further presence
within the academic community.
